The Life Changing Magic of….a Tumble Dryer!

Yaz January 30, 2017     3 Comments     Baby, Family, Home, Lifestyle, Parenting

What’s the one thing you wish you’d taken the plunge on and got sooner?

Mine? A dryer!

I finally got one three weeks and it’s literally been love since first use!

I was sick of having to spend hours hanging wet clothes up ever so damn neatly to avoid ironing, then fold them neatly, air them in the hot press, sort into everyone’s rooms and repeat, every damn day.

From washing machine to drawer it would take 2-3 days as the clothes took so long to dry. I’m talking trying to dry sheets, towels, jeans, ALL THE FIDDLY FUCKING SOCKS AND UNDERWEAR for 6 people! One day makes up 12 socks, 6 sets of clothes….. 2 days is 24  socks and 12 outfits and so on. Oh and don’t get me started in the 157393 bibs!

bane of my life

So if I missed just one day of washing and hanging up stuff, that was it, I was completely behind…so behind to the point I’d cry into the baskets of wet washing to hang up. Himself would get so fed up with me moaning about the washing he’d get a bag and bring it to the laundrette haha!

Oh, and the washing hung up all over the house was an eyesore! Clothes all over the radiators, clothes horse, banisters, chairs, doors and anywhere I could find space. It can’t be good for your lungs either all that wet air?! I refuse to dry clothes outside because of spiders, can’t be dealing with the fear of finding a spider in the laundry.clothes drying banisters

But now…now I have my new boo. I call him Tumble McDryer, it’s male because the world doesn’t need another woman doing the washing…equality and all that! He takes the wet clothes and dries them in a couple of hours. I can get 2-3 loads of washing washed, dried and folded in a day! It means I can take two even three days off from the washing knowing I can catch up so quick! I don’t spend hours at the weekend doing washing like I used to, it’s great, it makes me so happy!

My washing washed, dried and folded in the same day….in winter! whooo!

I’m slightly worried about the electricity bill but you know what, even if it was €30 extra a month it would be worth it for my sanity and I get to spend more time with the kids and not stressing over trying t dry clothes on time for school or everyday wear. No more money going to the laundrette either!

it constantly updates how much time is left till they are dry! No I don’t keep excitingly checking it…ahem…

Actually, I  got a bill there a few days ago and it was €50 more than the previous one. That’s down to Christmas lights and all the extra cooking etc over Christmas more than likely so I don’t think I’ll see much of a difference with the dryer. I made sure to get a heat pump technology dryer as they use less energy and are more gentle n clothes (less shrinkage apparently). The dryer I got has an is A+ energy rating too, all the heat pump technology ones are minimum A+ energy rating so I was told.

So yeh, the dryer was well worth the nearly €500 for my sanity, our lungs and family time. Life’s too short to be spending hours drying clothes! I really really wish I’d got one years ago now, so if you’re on the fence and have been thinking of getting one ad how handy it would be, JUST DO IT! You won’t regret it!

    I hope you will both be very happy together. 🙂
    I agree it is the one thing bar a fridge and oven that I would never dream of living without.
    And if that bill is huge you can cut down in lots of ways on how long it’s on and still have lovely dry clothes which do not need to be ironed.

Instagram post 2191762419487808903_229265379 Absolute imposter syndrome being at the @primark Christmas event this evening, not gonna lie 🙈, coz I know I’m a small fish with a small following (but may I say very awesome supportive followers and not “hate following”!!! 🙌🏽💕) compared to the big bloggers at these events and also I’m not very naturally glam like the big fashion bloggers....nor am I really a fashion blogger 🙈😂 I’m a just a ma who likes to shop in Penneys like the rest of us😄 And look I do know it’s not all about followers, it’s about engagement and real followers who trust you. I’ve been blogging 9 years now and have people following me that whole time since 2010 which is amazing! Ok off on a tangent now! Goodnight! 🌑 . .

And yes, I’m covering my butt cheek practically hanging out here with a strategically placed hashtag ok?! 🤣 📸 @thebargainbuyer

Instagram post 2189567205180430490_229265379 Found this swivel fridge container yoke (honestly dunno what it’s called but that sounds accurate enough right?!) in @tkmaxxie the other day for €9.99.
.

Isn’t it deadly? I was all excited filling it up and swivelling it today in the kitchen going “wheeeee” so the kids and himself came in to see what I was ooooh and aahhing about. They looked at me like I had 10 heads and said I was a weirdo being so excited about it 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 genuinely think its so handy though, love it! .. Edit: someone on my fb page told me it actually called a “lazy susan” 🙌🏽😂

Picked up this hand and lip care set yesterday at @lloydspharmirl for €12! 
If you have very dry skin the CICAPLAST range by La Roch Posay is so good. My hands and lips get extra dry in winter but this stuff is amazing for healing cracked skin and is so soothing! Deffo pick this up, would even be a lovely stocking filler!
