  • Never seen a tumble dryer bulb in the shops......
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Well done on the garden work Tilly

    Laughed (sorry ;)) re the TD...can't say I have ever missed mine in last 4 years or so and not using one keeps the leccy bill down. Not that I suggest you scrap it just cos you can't see your clothes tumbling mind :rotfl:

  • Morning, looks like it will be a good day - blue sky :)

    The kids and I are walking the hounds tonight - looking forward to stretching my legs.

    Dinner is a cottage pie type affair but full of veg - cheap and cheerful.

    Morning Brizzle, I'm not sure how I'd manage without a TD when it's pouring, but I guess I could and you're right, it eats leccy :eek:

    I have thought about buying Mr T ones of those leccy usage meters but decided he may get a little OCD. I had visions of him running around unplugging things :rotfl:

    And me, especially when we're in the caravan and you're all warm and snuggly - although it can make getting off to sleep difficult. :D

    I love my TD and wouldn't be without it - yes it eats leccy, but so does my iron, so I try to hot fold straight out of the TD and then I don't have to iron it (as I hate it) and it saves the iron leccy as well. 2 birds and all that!
