Re: Drying the washing
I don't have a tumble drier and wouldn't have one as a gift they use large amounts of electricity.
I still manage to get my washing dry outside most of the time in the winter when I can't it dries on a rail in the kitchen.
I don't have enormous amounts of washing living alone but I do have 2 dog towels daily and wash hand towels/tea towels/and of course underwear daily and bedding ever 5 or 6 days .
Doing little and often washing in the winter keeps the amounts down and makes the task of drying it easier.
I am just off to hang Chloes covers from her 2 beds on the washing line outside , they get washed at least weekly too.
