AIBU: clothes horse

So me and DP are currently rennovating our new house, and last night randomly had a conversation about the stuff that we currently have that we will not need and can donate to good will..
We currently live in a small one bed flat with no garden so have a clothes horse and a tumble dryer, (Dryer for the big bits like Jeans and bedding etc every thing else on the clothes horse)
In the new house there will be a garden with a clothes line and some where for the tumble dryer to go. So have said that the clothes horse can be donated as we wont need it. because if it cant go out on the line due to horrid weather we can use the dryer.
DP then said no we need all three?? this is a clothes horse that is tall and wide enough to hold 4 loads of washing, AIBU to say that we could get rid of it?? Hmm

Keep the clothes horse!!

I have a rotary drier in the garden, a heated airer and a small foldy clothes horse. No tumble drier.

Mostly that's fine but in the winter I do sometimes resort to taking the sheets from our bed (superking size) to the laundrette as otherwise they take eleventy million years to dry.

I do so very much love my heate airer but I do have to drape a sheet over the top to encourage drying.

I envy those who can line dry. There is a smell in the street - not always, but now and again the clothes will come in smelling like a tramp's crotch.

I was considering doing most of the drying on the Lakeland heated dryer (currently not switched on) and then for stuff like towels doing a ten minute tumble in the dryer. Would that work?

btw does anyone remember this thread which started with someone talking about pegging their partner and mumsnet, being mumsnet, took the laundry talk and ran with it?

WTF is that thread about? Grin

LisaMed1 · 07/08/2016 13:17

toadgirl I'm revisiting it. I think there was someone who thought they would wind up the mums and it sort of got away from their idea of the topic.

Aha! Fun times, eh?

I am still relatively new here so I am still stumbling about blindly, learning as I go.

toadgirl I feel like I'm still stumbling around learning the ropes, and I've been here since before penis beaker.

If you haven't found it yet, have a look here Some of them are hilarious and most are not really suitable for work.

Thanks, LisaMed1 :)

I hadn't found it yet, so this looks just like what I should be reading to get up to speed. Lucky I work from home so I can read all sorts.

I have seen a lot of penis beaker being mentioned, so it must be gooooood. My imagination is running wild. I suspect it will be a real eye-opener Grin

My favourites are the 'forcing dinosaurs on our children' one and the religious fridge.

I feel like I'm playing catch up and I've been on here some time. Sometimes I just sit back and enjoy the bun fight.

Sounds surreal!!!! :)

You should check out the THIRD thread on AIBU that no-one ever posts to. You'd be very welcome there.

Divorce him immediately and move to Outer Mongolia. No person should be forced to make these life changing decisions....
