The weather is really not helping my aim of pre-trip laundry.
At least, because it's so ruddy cold, I can warrant putting the heating on for a bit.
Also, both yesterday and this morning, my brain was convinced that I was leaving for my holiday today, rather than Monday, which really did not help me sleep.
@RolloTreadway Boring middle aged woman gadget alert.
I bought a DryPod a couple of years back for those many, many days when putting washing on the line is inconceivable. They're really good, can fit a whole machine's worth of laundry in them, including bedding, and only take about 2hrs to dry the lot.
100% recommend.
Won't help you today, of course. Sorry.
@Roadwarrior29@fkamiah17@RolloTreadway Yes, I'm considering that option too. Slightly prejudiced against dehumidifiers (unreasonably) due to one experience of them long ago with a model that was probably from the 70s or 80s. It made such a racket and wasn't that effective. To overcome that mental hurdle, I really need someone to recommend a good compact model for me
@Roadwarrior29@Greenseer@fkamiah17@RolloTreadway yes, I put it in the spare room then fill the room with 2 or 3 loads on airers. Takes longer to dry than a tumble drier though, at least overnight, so still eats electric but that would be several loads in a dryer
@fkamiah17@RolloTreadway we use a dehumidifier. Cheaper to run than a heater and useful for airing rooms as we suffer from damp being a modern hermetically sealed house
@fkamiah17 Ooh. I'll look into that when I get back. Getting stuff dry in spring and autumn is tricky, it's often too warm to put the heating on but also wet outside. Thanks!
@jschwa1@RolloTreadway My main reason for getting the DryPod was that I don't have (and don't want because of environmental impact) a tumble dryer, not to mention the cost of putting on the heating. I didn't know about the FoxyDry! I got bewitched by the Lakeland catalogue during Lockdown 1 😂
