We, that is Jane and I, have paid the deposit and first month's rent on the house, and we have located our preferred washing machine & sofa.
We uhhmed and ahhed about sofas and think we have finalised on an Ikea Ektorp (Leaby), Ektorp Sofa-bed (Leaby) or Backa (Kungsvik) sofa. Why? They're about £100-£200 cheaper than the nearest rivals, the two we liked most have a max 1 week lead time.
These aren't the "endgame" sofa, they're an interim which are nice in their own right, but aren't what we would choose if we had everything our own way.
Washing machines, around £250 from Currys, for a model with a timer on it. If we're on an economy 7 tarrif anyhow, it's worth it. If we're not, it's not. Must investigate.
Next weekend we're going to view the property again to measure up and try and organise where things will be put and whatnot.

Not that I used the dryer bit very often, but it was bloody handy for towels and bedding!
Plus this one has a smaller drum than my one *{:-(

It wasn't totally brilliant at getting things 100% dry in 2 hours, but it was better than having sheets and towels strewn round the house trying to get dry!
But like I said, I didn't use it very often, and the washing side was great - I never had a problem with that side! (It was a Hoover.)

Anyhow, enough about household appliances :)
