My Nana had a mangle and it was my job to turn the handle if we where staying!! Very Happy

happy days.
I only have the bathroon to attempt to dry my washing, my front door opens into the lounge, the lounge is only 13ft wide with a settee at one side so makes it about 10ft wide, walk through to the kitchen and the same thing 13ft with units either side Rolling Eyes

K has the warmest room but also the tiniest, T has a bigger room but loads more 'STUFF & CLUTTER'. We at the top of the house have the biggest room but it is currently full with all the boxed up Uni stuff Rolling Eyes

I have threatened to light the front fire but I try not too becuase my carbon footprint for the house on just the heating is already enormous Confused

i am afraid i use the drier though i only do about 3 loads a week

in the winter when the wood burner is going i hang a lot of stuff on the betty maid that hangs over that adn i do use radiators as well to avoid the drier but when the rain is really bad and we are outside all day shovelling heaven knows what or moving a herd from field to field i give in

the dehumidifier gets rid of the worst of the damp in the house but i really don't want to add any more.....

I gave in and lit the front fire yesterday afternoon it was flippin damp and cold! So I will keep it in for the time being as the weather forecast is still awful and bring the airers into the lounge, overnight, hopefully the washing should dry! Do that for a couple of days and I think we will have caught up! Very Happy
