new washing machine

Dan and I met one of the big box home improvement stores yesterday before I went into work, and we bought a new washing machine. It would have cost about 2/3 the price of a new one to get the old one repaired, so we bit the bullet and got a new one.

We wanted to get one of those front loader machines, because they are so green friendly - using 60% less water than a top loader. But we ended up getting a top loader because the front loaders all cost hundreds of dollars more.

It was delivered this morning, but the drain hose was not with it, so the men have to come back tomorrow to hook it up.

Thankfully, they took away the old one, so we do not have to haul it to the dump.

I just hope the thing tomorrow will work out, as all three of us have dentist appointments in the morning!

Yep - used my new vision insurance last week; will use the new dental insurance this week! Bill will get to go to the dentist when he gets home from school.
