To be so bloody excited

[theshadeofgreen]

I have a dehumidifier being delivered tomorrow. I feel like a very lucky kid at Christmas.

I've wanted one for so long, and the other day I realised turning on the radiators 3x a day to dry washing just wasn't a good option (and may bankrupt me atm). I'm also having to leave towels on the windowsills every night because they're soaked by morning, and I'm preparing to pain the window surrounds yet again where mould is appearing (yet again)

So I've taken the plunge and am going to have dry windows and dry washing all winter. It's taken a bit of our savings but I think it's an investment... can anyone please tell me what a life changer it will be?

I run mine for several hours daily, longer when there’s washing hanging up to dry. It really helps with the damp, and makes the place feel warmer. Also helps with my asthma and arthritis - I really notice in winter on days when I’ve forgotten to put it on for a while!

Well my life has drastically improved since my last post.

I've dried 4 loads of washing and the heating hasn't been on once.

The upstairs on my house is so hot I may actually need to open a window before the kids go to bed.

I think it's a bit sad, @theshadeofgreen that we DO get so excited about stuff like this!
#Imagines self at 18 trying to be excited about household stuff! ;-)

By the way, the water out of the dehumidifier is apparently purified. My mum's cat drinks it and goes mad for it, really loves it. (She also sits on top of it when it's on, because it blows hot air, and she knows how to turn it on, and how to turn it up).

@ShinyMe I was going to put it on an eve a plug so I can use the timer to turn it on but maybe I'll just train the cat instead
