[PinkPalace]

OMG!

[Heaven]

same here!!

[Muffy]

same here too!!! its REALLY annoying....
i do have a dryer but i HATE using it so im trying to resist the temptation!!!

[PinkPalace]

we dont have a dryer
i need them to be dry by next week ! lol! no fun packing wet clothes......

[butterfly_warrior]

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!

no heater
and my airers are full of cloth nappies also trying to dry

[butterfly_warrior]

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

[PinkPalace]

i might suggest to dh we take the kids to visit MIL tonight,,,,,

hehe (Shhhhh about my motives ahahahahah)

[Lolli]

Heheh PP sounds like a good idea to me!!

I am sooo thankful for my dryer... it was a housewarming pressie from my dad... I might have to ring him tonight and say thanks again!

[DoubleK]

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....

[~Hestia~]

Must've been some wonky rain where I am last night - my clothes line is under the carport & this morning my washing from yesterday morning was soaking wet!!

[[M]umma[M]ia]

mine too!!!!!!! lucky there is lotsa rope under my entertaining areas, hanging from it so there is washing pegged everywhere!!!!

OMG ur moving?

[PinkPalace]

Yep HOllye next week!
all the rope is packed pmsl!

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....

[ACJ]

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!!

[alioops]

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.

[~Raven~]

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.
