Will I need a tumble dryer (no central heating only have night storage heaters)?

[moominliz]

I'm still relatively new to all this so sorry if this isn't the right section to post this!
I'm due at the beginning of February so obviously it won't be warm or dry enough to dry the (I'm presuming mountain loads!) of washing that will be created outside. The problem being we only have night storages heaters so no central heating, therefore no radiators, so would a tumble dryer be the solution?
DP seems to think we'll manage fine without one however, I'm not sure if I'm worrying uneccessarily and we will manage or, given the unpredictable British weather, if its best to get a tumble dryer to be on the safe side?

i have a washer drier and very rarely use the drier.
not all clothes are tumble driable.
i use airers, washing line and the airing cupboard.
op you have night storage heaters? they get pretty warm dont they for an airer?

oops.
didnt read update

'op you have night storage heaters? they get pretty warm dont they for an airer?'

it's quite dangerous to put clothes or items on or right near an electric storage heater, unfortunately. they get very very hot and there's no way to regulate the heat output on them.

they're really pants, an expensive, inefficient use of power, but sadly in many rented lodgings there's no choice for the tenant.
