    mine hasn't been on in a few days now but before that it was on for about 4 hrs in one day cause we were ill and needed comfort when we were sick

    btw my dryer won't turn on with only 1 item in it it has to be a certain weight before it will work, we didn't figure this out til i asked hubby to put the kids uniform in the dryer and he only put in there 2 wee uniforms so they were wet the next day as it comes on then goes off again, it's an eco dryer so i assume it's to save energy

    Still off (TG ! ! !)

    66f indoors / 62f outdoors.

    Puss has started sitting on my lap in the evening so must be getting colder. I expect there will be a duvet mound soon!!!

    I did need my jacket early this morning outside...

    Washing still drying unaided (TG too)

    I wish I knew the point where towels etc. would still dry quickly enough before becoming that old damp smelling!!!!!!!!! (without the need for heat)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    saw on the news that 27000 people die each winter because of the cold. That is a shocking number. For those of us extreme moneysaving or with insufficient heating systems we really must all take very good care of ourselves and be prudent.

    I have a tumble dryer for the first time now....last winter in the extreme weeks I just didn't do washing and as a result had a huge mountain that it was a nightmare to get through after the extreme weather broke, because the weather wasn't helping. I bought a cheap tumble dryer and decided for my planned usasage spending more for lower running cost wasn't merirted because it really will be an occasional use appliance...most things I can get dry under the veranda on a rack in most weather.

    I've just put mine on to air the bedding I washed this morning.
    I'll knock it off in 30mins though.

  • Still off here, though I've at least connected the next LPG canister - so when I run out I only have to run outside (no doubt semi-nekkid and covered in shampoo!!) and flip the valve. Neary 3 months use out of this canister, nearly had a heart attack when someone said a fortneight would be good going with heating on...
    But yes the tumble drier is in use.
