Buttercup 2.0, the house I live in with my friends, has a small dishwasher. We were looking forward to it. It broke before we moved in-- it doesn't drain properly.

So instead it's a drying rack. It's actually really handy having a place to put all the dishes that doesn't take up counter space and sometimes has a heated dry setting. We'd rather have a dishwasher that washes, but we'll take this as well.

As for laundry... I'm probably going to buy more socks and underwear and keep an eye out for more jeans because then I can go another two weeks or so between gigantic laundry weekends. And ours are in the same house, free!
