I would be dreaming of it day and night. <br /><br />Just back from NO and that house we looked at is with a new lister and is starting at 350K. Imagine that! In a part of NO that flooded badly though so lots of empty houses around that area as well.<br /><br />My heart aches already to be back there and I've been home 2 days. I do know exactly what you mean. You however have a place already - that is something for us to dream about still.aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-8769416694324403902010-02-26T11:34:20.288-08:002010-02-26T11:34:20.288-08:00I know exactly why you are wanting to get back to ...I know exactly why you are wanting to get back to France even with all the chaos. I have only heard good reports from people with the top loaders, I can't say because I did bring mine with me.

I can't get a duvet in it, but the covers fit just fine. I don't know why you would want a top loader with a drum. It is very bothersome and unnecessary and limited in space. I wouldn't do it if I were you.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-16095493205786344202010-02-23T06:50:00.686-08:002010-02-23T06:50:00.686-08:00I wonder why you prefer the top loader?

I have a French front loader, it takes up no more room than ny other, holds 5 kg, but duvets are best taken to one of the launderettes where they have very large machines.<br />A very good chain of shops is 'Expert', who stock all electrical goods. Their call out and service is excelent...and when thwy get to know you they do give discounts!Elizabethdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405703727112759947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-624317866142533332010-02-23T05:14:48.477-08:002010-02-23T05:14:48.477-08:00Research can sure pay off!!Research can sure pay off!!ShanaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12608402862529359113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-113978006953082102010-02-23T04:46:48.971-08:002010-02-23T04:46:48.971-08:00Oh Maggie just moaning because my comments have go...Oh Maggie just moaning because my comments have gone down! :) But I always appreciate hearing from you. You're one of my regulars. I always visit you and I don't always comment so I shouldn't complain.<br />Great feedback on the washing machine - thanks.

...Glad you are managing to go to France very soon. <br />As regards top loaders..... yes I have one. If anything they are quite strong as they have 2 pivots to hold the drum rather than one (front loader.) The reason I have one is that it is slimmer and fits where I want it, whereas front loaders tend to be bulky in a small kitchen. I can get double duvet COVERS in but not the duvet itself. I go to the launderette for that.<br /><br />Sorry I haven't been visiting as much during my problems and also during the winter..... my bedroom is cold and thats where the main computer is.Weather has been awful.<br /><br /><a href="http://granniemay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Nuts in May</a>Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.com
