I am thinking of buying combined washing machine/tumble drier to save space and wonder if anyone has suggestions to make from experience.

Hi Jenny First port of call is always GP, if only to rule out simple medical causes. None of us on here are qualified doctors, and even such wouldn't diagnose without seeing.
