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! |

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! |

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. |

You keep a maiden in your basement? |

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. |

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. |

I have shelves over my washing machine and a lot of others have work tops so no space for a tumble dryer. I do have a tumble dryer (under another set of shelves) and luckily it doesn´t need venting through a wall as my utility room is on the semi wall and I don´t think the neighbours would be too impressed. Not that I ever use it as the electric it uses is high . I will say that I couldn´t be doing with washing sheets everyday or even every other day although one summer I have been known to change the sheets twice a week ....must have been a warm flush :-D :-D. The cost on the electric would be enough to change that habit. |

I stack the tumble dryers on top of the washing machine so there is no space problem. Venting is through the wall though some dryers nowadays don't need venting. What else would you put on top of a washing machine ? |

Well yes if your OH is disabled then warmth is necessary. As I said no tumble drier, hence the need to iron sheeets dried indoors in the winter. (No room for a tumble drier either.) Last washer we had was a washer drier and it was not efficient, maybe they are better now so the next time the washing machine packs up we shall see. In the summer, line dried sheets don't always get ironed if I can sneak them in before he sees. :-) :-) |

My OH is disabled and needs to be warm. Away from London I am the "person wot does" and don't find using an automatic washing machine + tumble dryer particularly onerous. Iron sheets? What on earth for. |

If a person doesn't mind the laundering or has someone 'wot does' then fair enough. On the other hand, many people prefer a cool bedroom and if not too cold outside, fresh air. People with a physical disability are more likely to prefer a warmer room. |
