HELP -Energy Saving Appliances Help Glasgow

Hi, first I have to admit that I am somewhat mentaly challenged as I suffer from short term memry loss and need constant reminders to exist on a day to day basis which itself is a challenge. This message is being typed by my riend/carer who I owe so much. To get to the point, having lost my father to cancer and my sister to mental health issues, I have relied heavily on my elderly mother. She is a very humble person who gives alot but refuses help herself. I want to repay her as I believe children should do. She is moving, with great persuasion, to a disabled adapted house within two weeks. I want to buy her the most economic cost wise and energy saving kitchen appliances as a gift but I am lost in the jargon and my carer has also struggled. We have spent so many hours and unless we spend mega £s on top branded goods which in itself is not cost effective we might just as well buy the cheapest. The trouble is my mother would rather sit in a room with a candle for light and a hot water bottle with shawl and extra layers of clothes than waste electricity. She even gave her heating allowance to charity for the past 3 years. At 75 she is much frailer and can no longer stand at a sink washing her clothes with a bar of soap. All I want to do is buy her a washing machine, fridge and freezer that are A++ or what ever the best rating I can get. She is slowly accepting that she needs help and this is a big step for her. Please can anyone help me in where to buy these appliances - I visited currys & comet and because of my frustration with my memory problem I am at my wits end. If anyone can guide me to where I may get these for delivery to the G32 area within 2 weeks I would be very grateful. I want her to feel she can use a washing machine and it wont break the bank. I cant stop her giving to charity but I do want to make sure the money she has goes a long way and she doesnt do without. I appolise if this sounds a stupid request but I find it difficult to ask someone face to face and shops are a bewildering task for me. thank you fot any help Steve P.S. My budget is about £700 which may not be realistic but I will deal with that

Hi Steve, I bought some of my appliances from here http://www.kitchenscience.co.uk/ They deliver to Scotland on a Sunday.
Their customer service was fantastic.
I mistakenly ordered a brown oven instead of a black one and they swapped it over for me.
I also bought my freezer from here http://www.bootskitchenappliances.com/default.aspx I also earned advantage bonus points.
I'm sure someone will be along to advise you of the cash back sites and how to use them.I'm not that way reclined
