    There is nothing I love more than freshly washed bed sheets than have been line-dried. Makes me go to sleep in no time :j

    Now, if only there was an easy way to tackle the ironing.
    Oh but there is.

    I despised ironing, it took forever and never looked half done anyway! I had even considered taking the lot to an ironing service :o Then I got one of these babies... Wow! My daughters pretty little dresses with frills and bows and other such things that are a real PITA to fix took no time at all :D I went through the whole pile in no time.

    In fact, I even took stuff out of the drawers to re-iron the first night I got it :A:rotfl:

    It's so weird. Until I read your post, I never even SAW the orange and pink speech bubbles. Yes, those bright psychedelic ones that appear after every posting. Doh!

    I'd been doing it by manually typing the HTML.

    For those wondering where you dry them if not on the line! I hang mine on the radiators around the house, unless there are guests coming over, then I make sure they are upstairs drying ;)

    Mine go on the line - whirlygig, outside line if that's how they peg out and I don't give a toss who sees them.

    My neighbour on the other hand, pegs hers out with one peg, i.e. hanging from the gusset, so if you were inclined to have a good eyeball at them, you'd only get an "overall" idea of colour and not much else.

    Mine go out pegged either side at the hip seam, so little is left to the imagine in terms of colour, fabric and....size:rotfl:

    Surely the gusset is the worst place to peg them, as results in the thickest part of the garment squished under the peg and bunched up, thus making the hardest to dry bit least exposed to wind and sunlight?
