UK – Competition / Giveaway – Win an LG 11kg Steam Direct Drive Washing Machine worth £876 !!!!!!

If you are anything like us as a family, finding new things for children to do can be daunting and very difficult at the same time.  Lots of us try to think up new ways to keep our children happy, and to give them the opportunity to have fun while making lovely new things that actually mean something to us for the future.

Crafty things get the thumbs up from almost any child of every age, and I asked my three children to draw pictures of us as a family.  As with all children, when they make messy things, or even if they are simply playing outside in the dirt, they can get themselves into so much mess, that we find ourselves looking at the piles of laundry lying on the floor and wondering where on earth it all came from.

One child didn’t want his picture on the Internet, but two of them are proud to show you their creativity.

 

This is where Appliances Online can help.  As all mums and dads know, five minutes of peace and quiet is a blessing when you are a busy parent.  The new LG Direct drive washing machines feature the latest technology, leading the way for a quieter and more peaceful wash.

I actually have the 9 kg version of the Direct Drive washing machine which means this is an easy competition for me to host.  I can vouch for how quiet the machine is, and for how little water is actually used, which never ceases to amaze me when the clothes are washed so thoroughly.

The programmes include a very fast 45 minute wash which I find myself using more than any other programme.  There is also the facility to be able to increase the spin times on each setting.  I can say without a doubt that it is the best washing machine that I have ever owned, and the size of wash is fabulous for us as we have a family of 6 to do washing for.

I can only dream of having the 11kg Direct drive washing machine from LG to wash big duvets.  I am going to be very jealous indeed of the lucky person who gets this beauty delivered to their doorstep as the winner of the UK based competition.

To be in with a chance of winning this lovely machine, all you have to do is use the rafflecopter widget below to enter and officially check off your answers.  You can sign in with Facebook, or by using your name and email address.

Good luck to everyone entering and I am going to be cheering you all on.

    I like to sit back, relax and enjoy it
    Ideally with a glass of my favourite Merlot wine
    Fresh from the cooler courtesy of Appliances Online.

    I drink a glass as I peacefully watch their Friday livestream
    Hoping that Yossi will finally fulfil my dream
    Of a quiet washer from Bosch, Whirlpool or LG
    But sadly his call is never for me.

    So I must put up with the old Hoover washer I own
    It’s on its last legs but I can’t afford a new one.
    It is just so noisy and has a little drum
    Will nobody help? Wait, there’s Scottish Mum.

    She writes this amazing parenting blog
    With real life advice and occasional prizes to flog.
    This time it’s a washer from Appliances Online.
    Result! It’s an LG! Oh let it be mine.

    My washing days would zip by like Hermes
    I’d have much more quiet time to do as I please
    Because of this washing machine so fine
    Thanks to Scottish Mum, and Appliances Online.

    The goblins are bad you all may think but they LOVE to clean the loo and sink,

  166. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to sit down with a chocolate biscuit (from the stash hidden from my family) and down it with a cuppa of my favourite tea. And as the mix slowly glides down, my daydreams really go to town. A waiter’s service courtesy of Mr Clooney, or a massage to soothe my back so achy. The fantasies deepen – please let my foot high pile of washing be done, ironed and put away by someone. May the children be tired after all that play, and I can sneak another biscuit today… “MUM!” oh dear, it’s back to reality, time to go and help the family. Into the dishwasher goes my cup (from Appliances Online – no need to wash up). Oh joy, the washing is still there undone – and the pile’s doubled in size thanks to someone. If only my washer had a bigger drum, something quiet and… “MUM!” “I’m coming son”, my peace is over, I am no longer dreaming in clover. Wait it’s a Friday, it’s almost 4 o’clock – “James let your brother out of that headlock. Now why don’t you two build a Lego tower as a team”… and let your mother quietly watch the Friday Livestream. Where I can catch up with the antics of Elmo and the brilliant Yossi, on their livestream broadcast so funny, bright and glossy. Just got time for another cuppa tea methinks… “MUM! James is cheating at tiddlywinks!” Sigh, maybe next time I can watch it quietly online, until then here’s to the chaos that is me and mine…

  246. When I have 5 mins peace and quiet – I usually miss it, since by then I’ve passed out from the lack of screaming children and only wake up startled a few minutes later as the drooling I’ve been doing in my exhausted slumber, upright on the couch or at the dinner table has soaked through my shirt.

    With a full time job, and 2 rambunctious boys 4 and 6 – who still jump into bed with me at different times during the night, peace and quiet and private bathroom trips are a luxury almost unheard of.

    Should I happen to win this lovely prize, my clothes would be sweet smelling, my life more organized and perhaps the absence of noise would soothe my children to sleep at an earlier bedtime – thus leaving me some free time for peach, quiet and a little me time.

  247. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to …. sit down and drink a whole cup of coffee, I make coffee during the day but never usually get to drink a full cup, what a pleasure it is to enjoy a cup to the end

  396. When I have 5 minutes peace I like to sit and read through interesting blogs and read all about others lives

  397. to think of a warm quiet beach! ;0)

  398. I like to ring my big brothers and find out what they and their children are up to. We live so far away we hardly see each other and I prefer to chat to them rather than a quick text. It’s lovely to hear their voices too and laugh about things we did as kids.

  399. I like to sit quietly, no tv, no laptop, no phone, just close my eyes and listen to the peace and quiet! It doesn’t happen very often so I like to cherish every moment!

  400. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to read a book

  401. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to read 🙂 Great competition x

    1. Thank you. Glad you are all enjoying it. x

  402. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to sit in front of the coal fire with a cup of tea, bliss.

  403. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to read some blogs, cake wrecks is my favourite, or I’m more likely to stick a load of washing on or empty the dishwasher. I love a can of coke, which is my guilty pleasure with a bit of cake when I’m being extra naughty, so sometimes just crashing with that is all I do! Like most mums there’s always something that needs to be cleaned / tidyed / put away / fixed / done.

  404. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to have a lovely cuppa tea, do some cross stitch and cuddle up with my husband. 🙂

  405. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to sit down with my husband and talk about our favourite moments of the day.

  406. when I get five minutes of peace and quiet, I tend to fall asleep. Sad but true. Sleep is the biggest luxury for me- so whilst the dishwasher washes dishes, the washing machine washes clothes and the dog cleans the kitchen floor, I like to close me eyes and imagine a whole night of unadulterated sleep.

  407. When I get 5 minutes peace I like to take the time to give my kids a big hug. Sometimes life can be so busy with school runs and activites, work and keeping the house I forget to appreciate them. So that’s what I would do.

  408. what a lovely lot of entries. when I have 5 minutes peace and quiet I like to catch up on twitter with a large frothy coffee in the morning or a G&T in the evening! Hum, I spend rather a lot of time on twitter, perhaps I am making too many 5 minutes in my day!! A hot bath instead of a quick shower has to be up there too for best 5 minutes! Thank you for a great competition. Am I sad to get so excited over a washing machine?

    1. No, you are not sad, I got hugely excited for just hosting it. Good luck to all.

  409. When I have five minutes…I wish. In between trying to organise trying to find some work, somehow volunteering myself to help organise the Morecambe Variety Festival, dealing with the whims of a thirteen year old and all her demanding neccessities, coping with a family scattered all over Europe and functioning in two languages (of which not everyone speaks both)…I generally collapse with exhaustion and an unread book on my lap!

  410. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to…play a number puzzle! I find it focusses me, stops me from worrying about everything that is winding me up, and if I play it just before I settle down to sleep my brain seems to carry on playing it, works better than counting sheep! (I am using a game called Drop 7 at the moment, try it!)

  411. Well, when I’ve got a spare 5 minutes, sitting down with my Kindle is a must!

  412. Five little minutes so I can just pee in peace. But, I’m thinking that the only way this is going to happen is if I build a secret bathroom that no one else knows about. Okay, and so maybe I’d like twenty minutes instead of five . . . you know, so I can shower in peace, too.

    Ever since Ewan could crawl, my time in the bathroom hasn’t been my own. I thought that, as he got older, it would get better, but it hasn’t. Before, I would have to take him in the bathroom with me while I showered so I could keep an eye on him. Now, he’s more than capable of staying in the living room and playing with his toys while I shower, but that doesn’t happen. It seems that once I turn that water on, he suddenly has a million things he needs to ask me, tell me, or show me. And, he has no problem flinging open the bathroom door and ripping back the shower curtain in order to do so.

  413. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I *like* to catch up on tweets and blogs, in reality when I have five minutes peace and quiet I end up doing a quick bit of washing up, putting a load of washing on, or flicking a duster around!

  414. When I get 5 minutes peace and quiet then I like to daydream of warm sunny days where the dirty washing is magically transported off the 2 sporty teenagers bedroom floors into the washing machine to be lovingly washed in a shiny new machine which will hold more washing than I can ever dream of, so quietly and efficiently….then I’ll come back down to earth with a bump and go and hang the washing out!

  415. When i have five minutes to spare there is only one thing to do, cup of tea, and a digestive. Good job there is never more than five minutes or there would be a need for extra biscuits.

  416. When I have 5 minutes peace I write lists, I have several on the go on my phone, proper written ones, but there are many more in my head. There are some things on the lists that never quite make it to the top (cleaning behind the fridge) the lists mean on a busy, tired, running on empty days I can do stuff without having to think about it. They are in a way my relaxation as it means I can stop that part of my brain for a bit

  417. Would love to win, my washing machine is getting pretty old and if I win this I know a lovely lady I can pass mine onto, that would make both our days!

    When I have 5 minutes peace and quiet I am juststarting to learnto enjoy it and sit down, relax and savour the moment. This has taken me 38 years of manic behaviour to realise that it is important to relax and have downtime too.

    Mich x

  418. A true 5 minutes to myself is quite rare so when I get them I push all thoughts of housework, laundry, tidying and exercise to the darkest corner of my mind…. and then I make myself a cafetiere and put my feet up with a huge mug of coffee, a piece of short bread and a good book. Bliss.

  419. I would kill for this especially as mine broke this week. I like to craft and find that I am coming to my craft cave more and more when I have a spare five mins

  420. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to grab a cup of tea and enjoy the peace whilst catching up on twitter.

  421. when I get 5 minutes peace, I run a bubble bath….only then I need another 30 mins to enjoy it!!!! darn!

  422. Depends how the mood takes me: read, tweet or simply nothing at all.

  423. have a nice long bath!

  424. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to read my favourite book on my Kindle with a nice cup of coffee or Ovaltine in the evening. However it doesn’t happen as often as I would like but when it does, I feel so relaxed!

  425. When I get five minutes peace and quiet I try to get down to the end of my garden where my seat is and just sit and listen to the quietWinter or summer as long as its dry i go and sit and do nothingx

  426. When I get five minutes peace and quiet I try not to feel guilty about spending time doing what I want to do instead of housework or other jobs I really should be doing.

  427. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I enjoy a cup of coffee and a chocolate biscuit. A lovely treat.

  428. When I get 5 minutes spare time i like to hae a nice relaxing bath that isn’t punctuated by bangs in the door or shouts of “mummy” through the door!!

  429. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to……. read a book whilst drinking a glass of wine 🙂

  430. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to …. well that would be something wouldn’t it, you mean people actually get five whole minutes of peace and quiet… what would I do if I ever had five whole minutes that weren’t filled with tweeting, blogging, kids, hubby, cooking, shopping, washing up, doing the housework, entering lovely competitions … well I dont think I would even know what to do. I would more than likely do more of the above.

    1. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to catch up on the news

  431. When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to……. have a lovely cup of coffee and catch up on twitter or my blog

    1. When I have five minutes peace and quiet I like to watch Judge Judy, drink tea, eat biscuits and play Free Cell on the laptop all at the same time.

    2. When I have 5 mins peace I decided to check out ur page and I liked what a saw
