OH's parents were the first English people I knew who had central heating ............. radiators. |

We have a laundry (known as a utility room in UK)... a big tub, the washing machine, dryer & a couple of cupboard for things like vacuum cleaner, brooms, mops, cleaning products etc). Our washer is a top loader (I couldn't cope with a front loader, with my wonky hips) and the tumble dryer is mounted on the wall, with a vent going outside. We have a washing line that gets used most of the time, but in January & February we have to use the dryer to "finish off" things, because of the humidity.... the washing is slightly damp, and if I put it away like that it would quickly go mouldy. |

we have a top-loading washer. Never had a dryer ......... we have lines strung in the laundry part of the basement as well as a maiden, and hang all our clothes. |

Ok if you can afford to wash sheets daily and have heating high rather than add a layer of clothing but it isn't very environmentally friendly. I am a very chilly mortal and love clean linen etc but manage in a house with no central heating so no rads to dry clothes on. We have a washer drier but I rarely use the drier, maybe sometimes for towels if the weather is bad. We have a gas fire in the livingroom where there is an open plan staircase so heat goes to landing and bedrooms. |

When I got married in 1980, ex's aunt bought us a 'pair' of percale sheets - I say 'pair', as one was double, one was king sized! |

When it's really (UK) hot in the summer, we'll use a flat sheet as a cover. As OH likes to hang his toes over the bottom it gets untucked and in a proper tangle! |
