To be annoyed about OH borrowing people money?

[ElleDiamond]

Ok annoyed is an understatement atm. My dryer broke down recently, and we were to buy a new one when OH got paid. So when he got paid he borrowed money to his family without asking me (he never asks ) Unfortunately this just so happened to be the money for the dryer.

So today my childrens bedding needed washing and now i'm sitting at after 6 at night with soaking wet bedding trying to dry it on radiators, everyone is practically dying off the heat and lucky OH gets to escape it all by being at work

I could swing for OH right now I also have a potty training toddler and I am about to give up on trying to dry all the washing, it just won't bloody dry.

I know this isn't massive in the grand scheme of things but I am just so fucked off. AIBU?

That's a lovely sentiment to post Windymill.

[ElleDiamond]

Vivacia I don't understand why I shouldn't put the washing on Surely I still have to do washing even if it is hard to dry

[usuallysuspect]

I didn't mean for today, I meant until she gets a new dryer.

It's quite blowy and sunny between showers here.

If you are anywhere near London SW19 you can come round and use mine OP.

[ICanSeeTheSun]

Yanbu. Could you get a new one on 0% finance and pay it off ASAP

[Vivacia]

Well, if it was me I would have avoided washing things that didn't need washing (such as bedding) or I would have used a laundrette or asked to use a friend or neighbour's drier. In your shoes it sounds as though you have family nearby, perhaps your husband could have taken some of the wet laundry 'round to the relative he lent money to.

(We only have a washer-dryer and only use the dryer in dire need).

OP YANBU. It sounds like you rely on your drier so your DH has been really inconsiderate this time. He has to put you and children first.

That said we don't have a drier and I've never had one except briefly when I lived in a rented house where it was supplied. Drying outside on a decent day is quick otherwise I've got a clothes horse which I just hang the clothes on to dry. Big things go over the bannister. Its not as quick as outside but I've never had any problems especially if I open the windows.

Also I agree with whoever said to look in charity shops for spare bedding. Its lovely to get the children what they pick out but equally important to have the odd spare set. We needed some a couple of ngihts ago when DS exploded his nappy at 2am.

Windymill I think that is one of the nicest things anyone ever said to me, it really means a lot. That is really lovely of you to offer but I'm all the way up in the north east.

Windymill, not only were your posts lovely and supportive, but you did indeed put the apostrophe in the right place at 19.25.

. I'm usually the hard arsed cow on here - but not to those who are doing their very best!

[Janethegirl]

Can you finish drying them with a hair dryer or fan heater, I know fan heaters are costly to run but as a once off it may be ok?

[ElleDiamond]

Well I managed to get it all dry in time for bedtime. I now have to lovely clean children in their nice clean pyjamas fast asleep in their lovely fresh beds

[Janethegirl]

I've ironed things to dry them in the past if I couldn't dry them outside because of the weather.

Elle, I second Windymills sentiment. What a lovely mum you are.

[ElleDiamond]

QuintessentiallyQS Thank you so much
