Very sad (in the sense of being rather pathetic) but I have to share............

I got my new rotary washing line last week, DH put the spike in the ground at the weekend and I've just used it for the first time.

OMG - it's fantastic - I can put the clothes on at a height that's comfortable for me (as I'm a short arse) and then simply raise it up high out of the way when I'm done

It looks verrrry nice out in my (messy and needing some TLC garden)

ooooh it sounds like a posh one if you can adjust the height!

it's a very posh one - I got fed up of cheap ones that went saggy after just a few months, didn't have enough space for when I do a manic day of catching up on washing and looked crap - so I splashed out

ahh yes that's the one bronze - I've got the more expensive of the 2 60m ones they do (and I also have the posh bin as well ).

Although I went for the more expensive of the 2 as it had a slightly smaller diameter across the diagonal and as I have a rose bush and a shed to contend with wanted to make sure it would fit LOL (well that's my excuse anyhow and I'm sticking to it)

no he didn't - he whacked it in using a piece of wood from the garden and a rock

Oooh it looks lovely - will have to save up!

bronze · 01/04/2009 11:14

I'm sure we paid nothing like that
Ours has the smartlift thing but also four of the poles. Its really strong just make sure you put the base in the ground straight (grr dh)

Bloody hell girl!! That's expensive!!! Make sure you buy one of those covers to protect it!

bronze · 01/04/2009 11:16

looks like it

I should really be filling it not discussing it

MamaG · 01/04/2009 11:16

Gah
I have nagged my DHJ for months to put me a washing line up. HE did, it hailed. Next day it was fine, I hung the washing out, it fell down.

I don't need a cover - it came with one (and it's not those horrible cheap plastic ones that rip easily either ) (it also goes 6cm higher than the other 60m one of the same brand - and 6cm makes all the difference when you're trying to keep clothes out of the grubby hand of a toddler
