    do you have airers that you can put the clothes on inside?

    Our dryer died just as the rain started, but I've managed to get my washing dry by using airers and a heater... I just pop a sheet over the airer to keep the heat in, and everything dries almost as quick as if it were in the dryer!

    Bugger! Is it possible to duck out and get a little fan heater just to help things dry? a $20 heater and a sheet will get an airer dry in about 3 hours here.

    I am having the same problem - don't have a drier and can't find our airer (I think DPs parrot may have been allowed to climb on it and chew it to bits so DP may have discarded of it!) and the ones available in shops at the moment are so small... I am trying to find one like the one that is missing but seems I was very lucky to find that one!

    So each night, I go home from work and wash something to wear the next day and place it on a towel over the column heater and hope for the best.

    I trip to the laundromat might be in order this Sunday... have a wedding to go to on Saturday

    i know how you feel! my linen cupboard is empty.. and my washing line is full of towels/tea towels etc!

    i hang my clothes on hangers, and hang them around the house, under the heater vents... they eventually get dry.. i just have to rotate them around a bit.

    i so need to invest in a couple more clothes airers....
