The reinventors hate the modern push to buy, buy, buy: replacing perfectly serviceable stuff with newer stuff just because it's newer.
There's almost nothing new in Marmalade Cottage - even our animals are rescued!
Rarely do we have a problem with our thrifted, rescued and second-hand stuff. Except last night.
The dishwasher, an elderly, but prestigious brand, has given us three and a half years faithful service, moving house with us twice. But it died.
Straight to Gumtree, it was! With a free one waiting on a verge, that, apparently worked. Except it didn't
Sigh.
But there was, of course, another one, a suburb away. And off we trotted.
This one is quite new, immaculately clean, efficient and very quiet. It was $100.
Seriously - why would anyone buy new?
That is a terrific bargain :)
