Washer / Dryer - earliest / latest time you have it turned on?

apesxx

i quite regularly have my washer on in the night, im hopeless at getting organised and the more i try to get organised the more unorganised i become so quite often realise as im going to bed that i havent washed my work uniform or kids cardi or something. It is a really quiet washer tho

and when it is sunny i program the washer to come on at 6am so that its ready to hang straight out x

we have digital time delays on our washer,tumble drier and dishwasher so they come on 12.45am and done by no later than 6.30am.as you can tell we have economy 7 and use it to the full potential

Just as an aside - check the time on your electricity meter - mine is out by 10 mins on BST - which means more than that on GMT as the meter time doesn't alter summer or winter. There was a thread about this on the gas/electricity forum.

Our tumble dryer is in the garage but I'm terribly paranoid about it (it's brand new so should be quite safe) so will only put it on when either OH or I are here and I check it periodically. Washing machine can sometimes be on as late as 11pm but our kitchen doesnt back onto anyone elses although i must admit I am often guilty of going out and leaving it on - will have to stop that i think.

Gosh I've never even thought of this before...I live in a mid terrace and would put it on whenever I want!! I've also been known to vacuum at 2am if I can't sleep.
I can't hear my neighbours vac or tumble drying though so assume and hope to god they can't hear mine!!

Pretty sure they would have moaned by now though

I put mine on whenever I need to - but it's in our conservatory at the back of the house and so is unlikely to disturb anybody.

Wow - do you really need to do that much washing? We do maybe 3 loads a week and we don't have a drier - we make do with two clothes-horses.
