i use my line all the time..... even when its snowed... (not as its snowing... lol ), then hang them up to air if still a bit damp, but mostly they come in dry... :)

i've a small kitchen so no room for a dryer... i could of bought the old 2 in 1's.. but the line is long enough, the length of the garden, so get full wash on and bit more lol

i put everything on aswell, even hubby's novelty thongs.. lol xxx

I use a washing line too Heather, but also use a dryer. There's only the 2 of us now, so I tend to wash at the weekend (my days off work). I tend to use the dryer for "smalls", but the rest get pegged out on the line.

I do use the dryer for towels though. I hate cardboard towels!!

I use my whirly line all the time. nothing better than the smell of clothes dried in the open. If I do have to use the dryer in the winter time then I use it overnight on the cheaper rate. The top Bannister rail on the top landing is a great place to dry sheets and woollies ,we have warm air central heating so the heat gets a good circulation.
I do sometimes in the summer use the dryer for towels as I hate rough towels to dry myself on.
we have next door neighbours who rarely put washing on the line,if they do its only bedlinen sometimes in the summer.Some people seem to be coy about putting undies on the line. Not me ,they blow in all their glory!!

Do you use a clothes line.............

.............or do you just bundle everything into the dryer? I was astounded to find that most people I know don't use the line anymore. What makes me smile is that these are the same people who talk about global warming, recycling and eating organic.

Do these people not realise the cost of running a dryer, the waste of electricity and the impact it has on the invironment? I'm not saying that I never use the dryer but I use it sparingly. If the weather is bad I hang the clothes overnight on the clotheshorse before putting them in the dryer but nothing can beat that "fresh air" smell off clothes after they have been on the line.
