I remember my mum getting her first washing machine. She sat on the kitchen floor and watched it go round and round. Wonder what would cause that kind of amazement in this day and age. (and i'm not that old!!)

in my little ones defence tho she is the one that earns her pocket money (£2 a week at 12) by brushing down the stairs (old style way) feeding dog daily and sweeping the living room, kitchen and bathroom on a friday night, then bless her she says is there anything else u want me to do for free lol

Haha, for me - a washing machine!
My housemate just moved out and took hers, now I need to get a new one. A new one will also keep me glued to the kitchen floor, but then again I am a painfully simple person with such luxuries in life.

See I think I'm an old lady trapped in a young person's body because I'm always shocked by the 'youth of today' and feel very annoyed when someone's parents buys their flat/car/clothes/holidays/everything because then they'll gain the 'more more more' bug and will never learn the value of money etc. (Wow that was a long sentence)

My friends always take the mick out of my 'old lady' opinions. Just good sense, I think!

RVK2 - i don't think you should be embarrassed. We can only take so much. It's like water dripping in to a bucket eventually one drop and everything will come out!

What a sweetie. I have one just like her, does her own ironing and asks if she can do mine, Washes the car without asking, hangs out laundry etc. Getting her to tidy her room is another matter entirely though :rotfl:

rvk i remember that 2 the baby birco doing all the boil washing - getting a strip wash in the kitchen on a wednesday and a bath on a sunday - mine would be shocked at not showing daily - but then i guess my mum and dad only had heating on at weekends in the winter - the rest of the time we spent snuggled in the kitchen playing chinnese chequers with the gas hob on for warmth (im sure my kids dont believe me when i tell them stuff like this cos they r so used to nanny n grandad spoiling them lol)
