    hi :wave:

    I have got to admit, I do use my tumble drier more than i should:eek: I have seen one of those pully systems at the top of the landing and it gets stuff dry really quick. I sometimes put bedding over the landing and this also drys quick.

    Reading this thread I was reminded of someone I used to treat with reflexology who's husband was a carpenter. He was making a small fortune creating drying arbors (sp) in peoples gardens,which apparently are very popular somewhere abroad (must be somewhere in europe') Basically it was a wooden structure around 4 ft wide and 8 deep and looked from the outside like the strcture you would grow plants up (and indeed that's what you do to hide it) It had a plastic roof-again with ivy etc growing across it. Hers looked really pretty as it was over a year old. Down this structure was hung various hooks and lines so that clothes can be hung down-whatever the weather. She swore by it-although I was doubtful re damp weather she said that the washing still dried. I intended having one built as he ofered to do it for material costs but he slipped at work and injured his back,they were forced to move as he couldn't work for quite a while. I was really dissapointed at the time although only just remembered whils reading this thread. Has anyone else ever heard of these? I would imagine they are pretty simple to make.
    Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it!
