With such a small amount of dirty plates etc, you definitely don't need a
dishwasher !
Actually, I may be losing the argument. My sister who did not want a
dishwasher either has now sold out, and says her new device has "changed
here life". Oh dear ;-)

Unless you have a dishwasher you just can't understand their effect.
I wouldn't go back to being without one.
You can take your washing to a laundrette so the washer would go first.
