They didn't seem to pop up in the usual place! Must catch up.<br />I always hang outside in England if the weather is fine. The clothes smell so much better when they come in and my tights and stockings are not all tangled up. It is true that the sunlight sterilises the clothes so very important for nappies, knickers, socks etc. I'm ALL for it.<br />This post was very interesting.Stella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-64673915845451811112011-05-10T13:30:24.749-04:002011-05-10T13:30:24.749-04:00I love the timer on my washing machine; thought I ...I love the timer on my washing machine; thought I would never use it, however I just used it yesterday. Very handy for a person, like myself, who hates paying for any more hydro then I have to, and who also has a short memory span at times.....lol.

I remember that back from my childhood but sad to say that outside washing lines are against the rules in our HOA handbook. I have however seen lines strung up inside garages when the doors have been open. Not quite the same thing though. Time to move to the countryside?DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-44625578736843888492011-05-09T21:18:04.592-04:002011-05-09T21:18:04.592-04:00I don't own a clothes dryer.

I got given a dryer as a wedding present and really only used it in emergencies when I had babies. I didnt use disposables so sometimes I had to dry nappies in the dryer. But then it just sat unused for years so I gave it away. I always dry on the line or on cloths horses in the house.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367100990792829157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-14519083091786002402011-05-09T13:02:06.555-04:002011-05-09T13:02:06.555-04:00I line dry (indoor & outdoor) all our clothes ...I line dry (indoor & outdoor) all our clothes except socks & undies!
