tumble dryer or will good dehumidifier do the job?

[Monkeyandanimal]

After last winter of trying to dry clothes mostly indoors because the weather was so rubbish the house went mouldy at the corners.....

We are having a new baby in november so i'm expecting laundry situation to get worse. I think we probably need a tumble dryer (but expensive to run), but was wondering would a good dehumidifier allow us to dry clothes indoors whilst preventing the house becoming damp? Would it be good enough? It's also not as though our house is not aired; there are draughts and the windows open every day, but it still went mouldy.
What do you think?

We have a Mitsubishi dehumidifier, and its fabulous. Currently, 6 loads of washing are drying in the spare room over/around it. Anything that goes on a hanger is dried on one on the Hangaway or off the airer, and then it can go straight into the wardrobe.

We've had it 7 years now, and I'd never be without it.
