Home planning advice

Everyone says "don't get a washer-dryer, they always break too soon".

If we get a separate washer and dryer, can we put the dryer on top of the washing machine? They'd be backing on to a 100-year-old outside brick wall, so we could screw the dryer to the wall if need be. What's involved in making such a setup work? Has anyone done this before? This Channel 4 website seems to suggest it's a viable plan, as does this stacking kit from John Lewis.

We also have no idea what washer or what dryer to buy or who to buy them from, though I'm currently looking at this washing machine and this condenser tumble dryer from John Lewis.

Did I mention that we moved? We moved. Thank you so much to the cast of thousands who helped us move, clean up the old flat, and celebrate in the new.

Given Hessie's parents spare Bosh washing machine is better than this one and free, do you want to see if they would like to give it to you? They are very keen on freeing space, as we are, but you would have to pay for transport.

Oh and as I said on Monday, you would be very welcome to our spare tumble dryer as a temporary stop gap until you get a good one if you like, if would mean shoving the vent pipe out the window when you used it though.

I'll check with my parents and see if they still have that practically new washer and dryer to get rid of. It might have been a washer/dryer though, I can't keep up with their laundry facilities.
