Dealwithdebtdot - I know using the tumble drier is not mse but it means I stay on top of the washing and have minimal ironing which helps keep me sane!!
:) we have to do what works for us...its true. I have a couple of things that keep me off living on as little as possible too.

That will be just the best feeling
It will take me about 2 years to get there.
I have found a positive from having a cold. I keep having hot flushes which means I don't need to put the heating onWell I am hoping it is the cold and am not reaching that stage in life :eek:

Failed to have a NSD as had to go and get some more 'drugs' to fight the cold
But in an attempt to be a bit more MSE on the washing front I have done 3 loads today and only used the tumble drier for 30 mins for some underwear. Ordinarily all 3 loads would have been through the TD. Clothes are draped all around the conservatory and dining room which I hate but as I have spent a lot of today lounging on my bed sneezing, snuffling, catching up on other diaries and watching carp tv it's not bothering me.
It's too early to declare that I will be weaning myself off the TD but every little helps.:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:( = £13000 to pay off

Hi Fuzzy, I dont think medicines should count as you need them!
Glad to hear your weaning off the TD xxMummytogirls x0 -
I agree - if you stuck to needed drugs I would count it as an nsd. Well done on reducing the tumble dryer - play it by ear... Every little helpsAchieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
