To wonder how on earth anyone copes without a tumble dryer?

Ours broke yesterday and I feel like I’ve lost a limb! Having to wait an entire day or more for washing to dry (and having to put the heating on full blast 24/7 in order to facilitate this) is torture. I’m so used to washing uniform etc at night and being able to quickly chuck it in the tumble dryer in the AM whilst we get ready. Washing loads take proper pre planning now! Despite it being only DD and I at home we easily get through one full wash per day so the house is already absolutely covered in clothing drying on radiators etc.

The new one won’t be delivered for 2 weeks - unsure how I’ll survive in the meantime 🤣

Change your clothes less often? How can two people justify one wash a day??

I don’t have one and never have. Have 5 in our family and managed fine hanging it out to dry. Today I hung it out and then put it on racks to finish it off overnight.
