Worst ever birthday present?

[Philly Q]

It was my birthday yesterday, which was OK (apart from being even older than I was the day before).  Went to visit some friends, went out for a nice meal.  Overindulged a bit and threw up in the middle of the night, but that was OK too - par for the course  :?.

Then I got home today to find my washing machine has died.

So my birthday present - to myself - is £275 on a poxy washing machine.  Bah.  :x

Happy Birthday!! (late hahaha) :D

[Afghan Dave]

Well... erm... Happy Birthday anyway!

[Philly Q]

Obviously that's just a generic image, I'll take some proper pics of mine when it arrives.....


.....What am I saying?  :?



Thx for the birthday wishes guys.  :)

Congrats on the birthday Philly - mine is in 3 weeks- I might even have cake left over at the BKP bash

Sorry to hear about the washing machine
I know how you feel...
Alexa and I just spent £400 on a new one as hers died a few months ago and was pissing water out everywhere

I thought it was a dish washer... Very cheap there, here these things are expensive as $%&# :o

The weird thing is, I don't even blink about spending 100s on guitars - several times a year, sometimes - but £275 on a washing machine is just infuriating.  :roll:

And that's after the old one has worked for 20 years!  :lol:

(Cake would be good!  :) )

We have more choice, I guess... you can get a washing machine for less than £200, but you can also spend £1,000+ on one.

Happy belated birthday Philly and congrats on your NWMD  :D

Wow! New Washing Machine Day.

And what a score for 275. She's a beauty, especially in that fashionable white. Congratulations.

What upgrades do you have planned for it?

Looking forward to the clips.

Happy Birthday Phil!

not as bad as yours but for my 24th b'day my parents turned up with a big (and guitar shaped) box.

Turned out to be a trouser press.....

happy birthday phil. Sorry to hear that, I know what you mean about necessary-but-boring purchases being annoying.

^ hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Ian Price]

Happy Birthday Phil!

I can't come close to that for bad birthday presents. I do need to buy a new fridge freezer though as the freezr part of ours completely freezes up and makes the fridge too warm  :?

I want a SMEG fridge freezer but the cost is a little prohibitive!

[AndyR]

Happy Birthday Phil! :D

You think you've got it bad: my washing machine's gone on holiday for two weeks with her friend...

I've noticed there's a box in the corner of the kitchen, looks quite a lot like your birthday present, do you reckon that might be what she was using to make my white shirts white again?
