Skint Spice's journey to being less skinty and more spicy

dawnybabes

Lakeland are brilliant for customer service never had a problem returning anything, perhaps buy it and try it for week or two ?

brrr...cold and frosty morning here but the sun is shining for once.... beds are stripped and the washing machine is on but not sure what the chances of them drying outside are - will give it a go though. Don't have a tumble dryer and I'm soooo sick of the place having washing hanging every where that I looked at buying one of those heated airers from Lakeland yesterday to say the reviews are mixed is the understatement of the year! so have decided £80 for something that MIGHT work is just not worth it...

Skinty I bought one of those last winter, it has paid for itself with the electricity I would have used with the tumble drier. I would say it dries things in about 1/2 of the time of a non heated airer and it holds around 2 loads of washing on it at a time. I love mine, one of the best things I have bought.

An added bonus is that it heats the room up a bit too:D

ETA there is a bit of a knack to get the optimum drying, I put the heavier stuff on the top rungs like jeans then they get the added heat of the lower 2 rungs also. Bottom rung I use for smalls.

Thanks for that Lou, might have another look then...had just talked myself out of it on account of IT'S SPENDING MONEY!!!! see - I'm getting strict today!

The bedding actually all dried outside today all apart from DS's fitted sheet which is currently hanging over my radiator.
