YAY, We Bought a...

.....Washing Machine :-)
It might sound a little strange, however, I'm so excited because I now have a washing machine, WooHoooo!
Check it out...Isn't it beautiful, Hahaha!

This little portable, electric washing machine will save us hundreds and hundreds of dollars. We drove about 40 minutes to buy this second hand washing machine, it cost us $140. I've estimated that we have spent more than $250 on clothes washing in the caravan park washing machines in just under 4 1/2 months of travelling ( that includes some hand washing, but doesn't include when we have needed to use a dryer ), WOWSA, what a huge waste of money. I could have bought 2 washing machines by now. I finally talked Shane into buying a washing machine about a month or so ago, and we finally found this one 40 minutes from Camden.
I estimate that we will save around $500 per year on clothes washing...Yahooo, what a huge saving! 

Look, isn't it pretty..Hahaha...

The beauty of this washing machine other than saving us money, being compact and more portable, is I can collect the rinse cycle water and use it for the next load of washing.

 Look at this baby spin...AWESOME!

So far our new to us washing machine is doing a pretty good job washing our clothes, and I would recommend it to long term travellers. This is an electric machine, so you can only use it when you have power. If you are free camping and use a generator you can still use this washing machine, or if you free camp and don't have power save your washing for when you have power in a caravan park and go nuts and have a washing day!
Off to do some more washing now :-)

No matter what you are doing, I Hope Everyone is having a LOVELY day xo
Take Care,
