You must be kidding, it's pssing down out there today and cold.

Knickers and bras go on the radiators, the rest is tumbled in winter, I have a dryer with a sensor, so stops when dry. I hang out from April to September weather permitting

Excellent tip Cathy, will try it out when my washing machine has finished today's batch. I have two babies under 19months so I do use the tumble drier more than I would like. I always try to peg washing out (weather permitting, even if only for a couple of hours) and I do dry some stuff over radiators but I hate having the feeling of wet washing hanging everywhere (and it doesn't do OH's asthma much good either). Cutting down the drying time with a bath sheet would really help.
