I still find Freya endearing and fairly entertaining, but for the love of all that is reasonable, would she not BUY A WASHING MACHINE?!!! i understand what she means by not wanting to buy too much for the house until after she ‘renovates’, but when you can casually and regularly spend £800 on a pair of flimsy shoes, surely it makes sense to fork out less to enable you to launder your own clothes, rather than having your Mum who lives in a different county do it?
Post-renovation, she could either sell (or better still, donate) the original washer/dryer, or put it out in a shed or something.. Someone who owns that many clothes could possibly benefit from having a second machine.
