I tumble dry all our underwear (even though oh claims it shrinks his boxers!)

Tell him its not the boxers that are getting smaller by the laws of physics, something must be getting bigger to make something smaller

The VERY BEST thing I have ever bought was a dehumidifier ..and then I discovered it dried my washing too (I shove it in a large airing cupboard but it would probably work in the kitchen or other small room just as well) ! No condensation on the windows and dry washing overnight. An absolute godsend.

- only thing is I am not sure how expensive it is to run - Anyone know? (Possibly the only downside)

It is just such a hassle free way to get all the washing dried without shrinking (only use tumble drier for towels now) I highly recommend it :dance:

I have a tumble drier which i use on half dried towels, jeans and sheets only on the economy 7 times (hung on a concertina metal plastic coated framed airer £5.65 from instore), plus i have over the rad airers in three rooms, don't hang them directly on rads as my dad was a plumber and said that it causes them to rust and it makes the boiler work harder, plus one of those hangaway thingys, plus a peggy type thing for socks, an over the bath airer out on balcony and a gate type airer in dining room, i also hang clothes on clothes hangers and hang them over the curtain rod/pole in dining room and sons room as they get the sun for most of the day and are the warmest rooms in flat. I also have a thing where it has a hanger type top, attached to it are two chains connected to the bottom by a 12inch wide piece which has slots for 8 hangers, i hang this from my light fitting. I occasionally tumble dry my sons school trousers from wet, so i dont have to iron them and he loves putting them on straight out of the drier, nice warm legs.
