I knew I had a good reason for always using a tumble drier! Not just because it's easier than trudging up the garden - it's because it's better for everyone's breathing! Thanks for this Annie

I prefer out of doors, but for me its a no no. Plus hanging it out, cant cope with that -- sigh!
My husband carries the washing basket out, I hang it (you should see his hanging), then I take it down and he carries it in. Combined effort! Keep smiling.

A dryer from Tescos is ok. Wont do radiators. It is sad that i have to avoid the washing line, advised by another sufferer. The air around here isn't good apparently.
