anyone ever made paper using tumble dryer fluff?

[suzi2]

did it work out? I have a lot of fluff collected and thought I might give it a go using ordinary pulp as well.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

1. On the question of fluff to paper
   
   but more importantly
   
   
2. on the 'I have a lot of fluff collected'
   
   
   
   ermm, why, why would you.........?

[HRHQoQ]

first post on the thread

[HRHQoQ]

this page says you can use it too

[Flum]

Shouldn't even be here we don't even have a tumble dryer, can't see the benefit. Don't you people have radiators?

[HRHQoQ]

I have one radiator that could be used to put clothes on (the others are all stupidly located by the previous owners who installed it so sit 'behind' pieces of furniture (ie living room - one lovely long wall opposite the fire the only place a sofa will fit........with a radiator smack bang in the middle of it).

If I put clothes on the one radiator that is 'free' - I'll find them all over the floor very soon afterwards as it's in easy reach of DS2

sf'alright I'm only jealous, can't think of a spot to put a tumble dryer so I spout off about how useless they are to make me feel better.

[myturn]

Can't be useless if you can make paper out of the fluff . The benefits are truly endless...

[undercovermum]

In fact, if you want some fluff. I will be more than happy to provide it free of charge. When I tumble blankets I get orange or pink but mostly it's grey.

[undercovermum]

Don't dry clothes on radiators cos they go hard. Well in my house they do. Also if you tumble with a bit of Comfort - no ironing!!!!!

[suzi2]

lol - it's not like collecting fluff is a hobby... just that our tumbler is in the garage and so when we clean it we lay the fluff to the side as we don't have a bin... (lazy I know!)

I may give it a shot this weekend...

[pootlepod]

What a website !was particularly impressed by this gem
RE: Saving Money on Pantyhose
To save money on pantyhose, when you get a run in one leg, just cut off that leg and save the other one. Then when you get a run in one leg of another pair, cut off that leg. You can then wear both pairs of panty hose with one leg, to make a matching pair! This will save you lots of money in the long run, especially if you buy the same brand and color all the time.

By Jackie S.

It was the line "especially if you buy the same brand and color all the time" - it would be som much more spectacular if you wore one American Tan and one black fishnet don't you think !

[Whizzz]

Yeah ! Viz Top Tips - classic

(that whole Thrify website is just like that warrant its own thread !)

[pootlepod]

He he Whizzz, my mum used to do that with the tights. And I laughed at her until she told me that it paid for all my school trips/music lessons etc. Was suitably humbled.
