that is the hard part of this time of year - having to take a machine in - when the shops are full with others - that want their machines done 'today', too.

work on something else like baking and freeze it and make cookies and of course that stuffing can be made ahead of time and brought out and cooked the day of and they will never know.....relax now.....you can stress out later....hahaha....hohoho.....

at least the repairman is having a good time

Never fails if a machine is going to break down it's always at the time you need it most. Must be Murphy's Law.
