Also... he has a condenser dryer... what should I expect with that?

If you're doing boil washes, use the prewash option. I've found that it can cook the funky smell into the clothes otherwise.

Condenser dryers are just that: dryers. They dry everything at the same pace, so you needn't worry too much about separating clothes/fabrics by thickness. Make sure the condenser is clean (see user's manual).

Glad you made it safely...My GOD from Texas to the Isle of Guernsey!!! You make 180 degree changes, LOL :-O

I agree with Alex, if you cannot find the manual for the condenser dryer, PLEASE find it online. Make sure the condenser is clean and the inside compartment vacuumed and clean. I have a feeling if your dear (new) husband washed everything in cold and put things away moist to mildew & mold...he has never maintained the condenser dryer.

I am now liking a condenser dryer a lot, but they do require maintenance that a vented dryer does not need at all. The maintenance is not hard at all, but it must be done!!

Thanks Alex... Im really liking this dryer so far. Things don't come out feeling over dried and crispy and static doesn't seem to be an issue.

Larsi... it is such a huge change from Texas! LOL Im finding it a bit hard to get used to. The ridiculously tiny roads, the fact that stores and businesses close at 5 and the only "fast food" available is fish and chip shops! But I must admit the scenery is fantastic and it's nice to take a beach stroll every evening... still.... I can't wait to come home for a few weeks in June!

Good to hear from you...but Andi my dear..are you happy..really happy? And does this new husband of yours love you more than anything else that breathes?

Love the pictures.

What beautiful pics Andi. Spent a week in Devon last august/september and it was the best place I ever been but I know about the roads, all I can say buy good car insurens.

I also hope that you are really happy, habe moved for love to and it turned out great but did not move that far...

All the best Björn

Mama, Im incredibly happy.. no need to worry :-D

Linus, it's a huge change but it's worth it. It's only for a few years and then we will go back to Texas, woohoo! On the bright side... Guernsey is a great location for easy and cheap access to all of Europe!

Wonderful pictures!

Are there any large appliance stores on Guernsey and if so, have you already looke at all the European appliances? If not, we have many appliance stores here in Germany... ;)

Thanks guys, I'm really loving taking pics here.

No, just 3 stores that have a very small selection. Just about anything can be ordered but that adds quite a bit to the expense.

We are planning a tour of Europe next summer! We will ferry his car over to France and then hit Germany and Spain and Italy... I can't wait!!!

I would never leave if I had the chance move there - lucky you! I hope you enjoy your time there. Better weather than Texas ;-)

I think we should start a donation and than all of us can get together and go visit our lovely Andi. Haha
