    Could you sleep in the space?

    It would save you having to go up and down stairs and would mean you were on hand to make the OH meals and drinks.

    OH, OK then .... in that case - get the OH to fix the dishwasher ... I have just fixed ours for free - they are really simple things.

    Fix it! Fix it! Fix it!

    Definitely worth £20 a week particularly if you have a family.

    Apparently it could be one of four different things.... we replaced the first thing that all the websites seemed to point to as the most likely problem - £60 - and it didn't fix it!

    It wouldn't click round to the next bit of the program. Now it's worse, it won't heat up the water at all or to dry, so it's a cold wash you have to keep going back to click round through the program and that doesn't actually clean the dishes :(

    It is about 8-9 years old.

    We got as far as getting a multi meter to test stuff....

    Ours did that - more or less. The motor had gone. COst £200 to mend - because it is a built in one, new ones are a lot more than that.

    DOn't have a built in one. Ours was out of action for a month - the novelty of washing up soon wore off.
    I wanna be in the room where it happens
