YAY for one hour drying!

[lavamat_jon]

Well, as the cold weather is approaching I've been using my AEG condenser more and more. As some people know on here I tend to use Special Care and get very annoyed at the long drying times I have with it... but now that it's come to the time of year where the amount of heat outputted by the dryer is bearable, I have been using the Quick option for laundry which can stand a high heat (towels, sheets etc), and a load of towels which would normally take 1h45 or so with either regular heat (no options selected), or 2 hrs with special care (low heat), now only takes an hour if that with the Quick option.

Everyone say yay for fast drying times in the winter months!

Jon

P.S. And I haven't cursed ONCE at the dryer today...

The AEG does have a redeeming feature after all lol!

Jon...

Bad mouth the said appliance again and I'll lamp ya one lol! See what happens if you use your appliances correctly. ***Ducks and hides!!!***

 

[lavamat_jon]

:-O How very dare you!!! .

I actually do use the appliance correctly... if I used the Quick button on my clothes they'd sure be a size smaller .

And I challenge you to survive in my room in the midsts of summer when the dryer is on Quick... .

 

[sadose]

M'Dear...

They sell very effective portable air conditioning units in B&Q for a very reasonable.....Hummmmm maybe i should shut up!

 

[lavamat_jon]

Hehe...

Of course, but I don't have any free plug sockets... and I don't want to be a naughty boy now and plug my dryer into a 2 way socket adaptor with an a/c unit now do I?

 

[sadose]

Ahhhhhhh!!! Thanks for pointing that out...Wondered why my little white knight used to cut out after 40 minutes...makes sense now! Clever boy Jon! ....*Goes to change plugs sockets around downstairs...*

 

[aquarius1984]

im very naughty

i dry everything on high heat. But i dont dry jumpers or decent clothes, towels in the dryer. Nice one Jon, i hope you truely used some Kilowatts by using high wash temps! I wonder if we could save some money and energi in the uk by not heating our water to make tea and coffee so hot! Ducks and runs LOL. Nick

 

[carlstock]

Naughty Chap!

Nick!

Get that off of high heat! That is an order! ;-) There’s me here with my Miele…

… and my green electricity supplier, Ecotricity… trying to save the Earth… and there’s you with your gas-guzzling high heat! Pah!

Wait. That is my parent’s electricity supplier ’cause they pay the bills!

Erm… Yeah… How dare you waste energy?! Moan moan moan! Waste! Errr… I hate you, Jon and Nick… rant rant rant.

Oh wait… I’ve become a rude, obnoxious person like D----…

;-)

How are you anyway, Nick? OK? )

Carl

 

[carlstock]

OMG!!! I’ve made a terrible grammatical error!

It’s “parents’”, not “parent’s”. LOL

I’ll go and hang my head in shame… ;-)

 

[aquarius1984]

lmao Carl

you never fail to put a smile on my face. Im able to use mums dryer on high as its in the garage, and our white knight, ok angelas white knight is vented through the back wall of the kitchen. The Zamussi condenser i had with my ex did make the kitchen unbearable while i was cooking but keeping the door open and the dining room radiator off mean we ate in a nice warm room that was free to heat. well Jon next summer remind me to send you my tomato, chilli and pepper plants over to you, you can grow em in your soft furnished greenhoose! LOL. Nick.

 

[carlstock]

LOL @ Nick and Jon

Well, I have to laugh, Nick, or else I’d probably cry, so I’ll have to make others laugh instead of making them cry. ;-)

When it comes to getting our new dryer, I will have to spend ages fussing over it and making sure everything is done ‘properly’. LOL

For the first few days, I will be the only one who will know how to use it, and my parents will have to wait for me to get up and come alive before they will be able to get their heads around it. ;-)

What’s holding it up is that the shed still isn’t finished, and the freezer needs to go in there so the new tumble dryer can go in the porch (which is brick-built).

Even Mum is getting impatient with Dad because she is looking forward to a new tumble dryer – our first for nearly… wait for it… 30 years! Our old Creda lasted that long! Admittedly, though it was only used every other day during late autumn, winter and early spring, so it did not get much use.

Now… I can just imagine Nick and Jon sweating in a room with the tumble dryer on, both saying, “It’s not hot enough in here!” ;-)

 

[aquarius1984]

hehe

or maybe not Carl. LOL. I cannot abide warm rooms. However (not a boastI) when I was in Egypt in March, Sharm el Sheik in a part called Sharks bay. The temp was getting on for about 36.c and that was not hot enough. I usually hate hot holiday destinations but now i appreciate the chance of such luxury i make the most of it. I also never have the central heating on in my bedroom and if im in during the day i tend to wear my "snuggley" jumper. Everyone has one, usually donkeys years old and really thick. Keep us posted on what dryer you get. Im betting big bucks you get a Miele. Please dont let me down! As we speak our kitchen is warm with the scent of . . . Yes you guessed Comfort Easy Iron while my PJs dry. Stripped the bedding today so its nearly time for a radox bath and an early night. Touch wood scooter will join me for his evening cuddle and the world will be set right for me. Shame I cant keep my eyes open. Wanted to watch brokeback mountain tonight.

 

[carlstock]

* Carl steals Nick's PJs * ;-)

Whoops! Nick might be wearing them now! LOL I will have to rethink that one!!! ;-)

Will say more later. You are probably asleep now. Night!

Carl

 

[aquarius1984]

guess whos not asleep.

my bath woke me up as opposed to finishing me off. Now im Bored, fed up and generally had enough lol. Considerin doing the ironing, thats not like me lately. How i would love a quick drying dryer. The white knight takes 2 hours and more to dry 5kg of towels. The bedding which consists of King size duvet cover, 2 pillowcases and double sheet took a whopping 100 minutes. Something surely aint right. Even from a 800rpm machine i think thats crazy!

 

[aquarius1984]

reaches for tin of diet coke. .

but where did i put that Jack Daniels. . . . . . . ?

 

[carlstock]

Nick,

You might have a simple viral infection, or even a cold or flu perhaps (the latter two are caused by viruses anyway of course). That can sometimes stop you from sleeping, especially if worry is not stopping you from sleeping. Also, such an infection has made you feel rather ‘down’ and not feel up to doing much of your favourite things.

A raised body temperature, as well as one’s immune system being more active, can stop you drifting off to sleep. Sometimes, perhaps in your case tonight, taking a bath can actually make your more alert, not the other way around. That may be indicative of an infection.
