I'd be up for swapping round the door on a fridge or freezer: Trusting myself to do it on a washing machine, not surescratchchin Any how, I'm sure you'll be fine, they can't hold much water can they? The Liebherr ones don't have the uber handles do they? having to break the magnetic seal using brute force, no thanks.
I'm more worried about a rogue screwdriver blade scratching the shiny virginal doors. These were bought to impress the (non-existent) neighbours who might decide to peer through the utility room window, so cosmetics matter.

The leibherr has really solid stainless steel handles - if I were at home I'd take a photo after painstakingly positioning the champagne bottles in the wine cabinet for maximum photographic impact.
liebherr... that means man-love in german right?

Well I suppose I could have one of my slaves dig a 1 metre deep hole and start from there.

Better get one of them to explain why that would make it 1 metre more difficult whilst they are at it.

Apparently they have a scratchproof coating. My Miele washing machine is over 20 years old, as I am not having anything that isn't an antique in my home and it doesn't have a scratch on it.

Having just sold a town centre property, my bank account balance display is so long I have to hold my phone in landscape mode to see the whole number.

I need to complain about the app, or buy a house, before it all becomes too much of a struggle.

ETA although that does actually mean I'm homeless. And I'm sitting in the third world (ahem PC crap police ahoy).

So on balance, it's a fail from me!

Really? On the NatWest app you'd need to have [I estimate] a trillion pounds or more to not be able to view the figure in portrait mode. Unless you own a tiny phone?

My addition is that Waitrose had sold out of salted pistachios - fk sake.

Car passed MOT today with no advisories. More money to waste on cocaine and hookers as a result.

Currently running 12 minutes late in the hairdresser. Women in front taking too long having her roots done. May have to be the barbers in Manchester next time. Just dont like paying 4 quid on Deansgate.

I'm not sure if the sunroof in my car is double glazed like the side windows are. It's irritating not knowing.
