    Stupid question coming up, we have a tumble dryer but haven't used it, it's a really old thing, but with the weather we are having it's impossible to dry the washing, do I need to put anything in the dryer with the clothes?

    No kindof, just bung them in and stick it on... You can get drier balls from the 99p shop that are supposed to make your washing soft, but I find it comes out soft anyway...

    You can get tumble dryer sheets, to make it fresh i think. But its fine without :)

    We dont have a tumble dryer, i hate them as the feel of the clothes when they come out makes me sick.

    Most manufacturers don't recommend you use the drier sheets though...

    Hubby's got a job interview on Friday... Don't know which job it is, he's applied for 2... 1 is just down the road and is what he's doing now but more money... 1 is the same distance he is now but in a different direction... Don't know what the job is, or the money... But his current manager has also applied for a manager job there...

    I know which I'd prefer he got lol...

    there is a problem with them which Mamas and papas are aware of
    Is it the £5 gift card you get with a catalogue ? .. If so there is a problem with them which Mamas and papas are aware of ( i know this as i had the same problem last week ) If you are using it online email them they have a code you can use to make it work or pop into a Mamas and Papas shop and use it :)

    I cant find an email for them, i dont really want anything from there anyway. Im only buying because i had £10 in gift vouchers, i dont really want to pay the £5 delivery and We dont have an M&P store here.

    So if anyone wants my gift card aswell and you are willing to email M&P then its yours :D

    EA I don't really like clothes done in the dryer either but we've had nothing but rain for days yet the house has still been warm so haven't got heating on therefore can't dry in house :(
