I've loads of washing to get through but I don't want to wash it if I can't get it dry. It's 11 c outside, is it worth it?

I would, but you need to get it out soon or it won't have enough time to dry.

No, I have been hanging everything on the tops of doors and radiators for a couple of months now...if you put it out you'll only have to bring it in again.

Especially if it pours with rain.

Just hang it inside.

also - it might dry somewhat out there but you'll still need to hang it up to air ir when it comes in, as it's likely to be damp.

I am a bit lazy though.

Yes, Because it smells so much better if it's been outside. And it gets at least partly dry, so finishes off quicker in the house. But do it NOW or it'll be too late

Yes, because it will smell much nicer even if you have to finish the drying indoors on airing racks.

All my washing has been drying fine outside. But it's not that cold down south Grin

Oh I feel such a failure now! Blush

Everything is difficult though, I'm a bit too pregnant for lugging wet washing up into the garden and back (steps here)

though I have been up a ladder putting up curtains all day

priorities don't you know Grin
