Thanks WW, I call a Maiden a winter dyke.

I understand that is what our cousins north of the wall call it.

Round here, it's a clothes horse or airer! So, I guess we all use the same thing!

Most stuff will get hung up on a airer in a spare room but Shirts get hung up on hangers,that way you dont have to iron them

Everything stayed on the line till it was dry when it was just me.
Mme P tumbles everything and it drives me insane. I have to wait for her to go to work before I do the washing so I can get it all on the line before she comes home.

It gets hung in my bedroom, over the stiars up to my room, all over the chairs etc as there is nowhere else to put it (no garden to hang stuff in), and my house is really damp anyway so you have to put the oil heater on for a good day to get things dry. bedsheets are a nightmare, it can take 3-4 days to wash them properly and get them dry. im just soaking my ex white (now pink, colour run) bedsheets in oxy stuff and gotta wash them tonight but thwey won't dry until friday at least unless i leave the heater on when im at work tooComment

We don't produce too much laundry, maybe two loads a week. I can dry it on a rack in the south-facing kitchen: no noticeable condensation probs

I dont have a tumble dryer so smalls are put on the radiator, I have two clothes horse' so washing is put on them takes an age to dry though.
When my eldest son was born we lived in a house that only had a very small gas fire in the front room, nappies took for ever to dry ( yes I used towelling ones ) Father in law used to take the washing home to theirs and MIL dried it on the maiden, trouble was it came back smelling of whatever she was cooking at the time.Gardening ..... begins with daybreak
and ends with backache

Mine goes on the rads - the smalls go on the..ehem..winter dyke () by the radiator in the spare room. All towels go on that radiator as no-one is in ther during the night at the mo. When my son's back from uni, it all goes out in the conservatory, but takes ages to dry in the cold. If the weather is particularly mild, then it all goes on the line, except smalls.

I have to go to the laundrette at the moment, but I do have a brand new maiden/pulley in a box, that I've taken everywhere I've moved since 1995 in the hopes that one day I'll stay somewhere long enough to put it up and leave it up.
Box is a bit dusty now.Comment
