Things I Need to Save Up for FAST!

A new fridge:
my current one is still killing my milk, it's either going off, or getting blobs of ice in it.

A small front loading washing machine:
All my clothes are dirty! And this weekend I'm not going to be able to afford the laundrematte.

A microwave:
That would of been so useful last night.

ACK! Internet not working at home for the last

Thanks! I know of Graysonline, already thinking of checking it out. $79 for a new microwave is good!

Seriously, clothes in the shower! Before I had a washing machine, I washed everything out at when I had a shower in the morning. It only ads a few minutes to your over all shower time that way.

If you're in the position where you have a lot of clothes, then you can put your hair up in a treatment, get them in the shower and wash by hand. You can put things on the ground and stomp them, you can scrub things with soap. Hang them over the shower ledge. It's how people used to do it, and it still works.

Fridges and things you can get second hand, but very expensive, still.

I've tried the handwashing/manual method... it's not the washing that makes it take so long, it's the wringing out the water and the drying. Last time I tried it, it took more than a week for my things to dry. I need something with a spin cycle.

Tho' I think I'll be doing it the old fashioned way tonight.

I'm going to look at both new and second hand whitegoods, one never knows, I could find a good bargain with a warranty.
