    Are you doing any cooking in the oven? Maybe pop a casserole in the oven, and move the clothes airer into your kitchen if you can?
    Or you can use a fan instead of the heater... take a while but quicker than the clothes just sitting there....

    Yeah same!! I did two loads of washing over night to hang out today and had to put them in the dryer thismorning then my mum calls and says her washing machine has literally stopped working so she brought her soaking washing over and I have a washer/dryer in one so it has been a very long day of washing already!!

    Even a ceiling fan will get the air moving enough to get the airers dry in a couple of days. If you have a fan that you can put on in a spare room on full speed it will do more than having them in the living room, because cold moving air will make you feel colder. The faster the air moves the faster they dry.

    Places where I dry stuff besides airers:
    Over the dining chairs, on hangers on the curtain tracks, over the shower screens, over the top of doors, and in desperate times (and only when I know it's clean ) I spread washing out over the floor overnight once the kids are in bed.

    As alioops said, fans work really well. At the moment, I have my clothes under one on full-speed in the spare room. Even a standard fan will work. Definitely way cheaper than the dryer option! Hope you get them dry.
