Do you mean a tumble-dryer? Yes but sadly that's under a work surface too!  :'(  ;D

Oh I remember those! The spin cycle on my existing machine is very "vibrant" so that could really be fun if I could only get to it!!!!  ;D

This has made me laugh ;D ;D ;D

I use to soak the nappies in Napisan then put them in the twin tub with water softner, they came up brilliant white and soft,


I always used paddypads with paddyy pants as well as nappies, anyone remember them?

Thats it - Napisan - oh I remember the smell so well, but I agree Silverlady , it bought the nappies up lovely. Mot sure about the others - I did use liners in the nappies but dont think they had a particular name.
Oh - the memories!

Will have a nostalgia search and see if I can find them, they combine then now with the pants.

Found them http://www.paddi.org.uk/Paddi-History.php

This was when they were first introduced my mum used them with my siblings and I used them with my daughter.

Does anyone remember "Jumping Jacks" shoes and little boots my mum put me in them when I was a kid and I use to buy them for my  daughter.

A new thread maybe?

I just love these chit chat threads that take your mind off your woes.  :)
Me too  :). I remember my mum has a washer with a mangle.
We had a twin tub when daughter was born. Got a automatic when she was 6.

I had a sink first and a spin drier and then a single tub to go with the spinner and then, finally, an automatic! My mum had a gas copper which she used right up to her early eighties. Her washing was always so white and smelt divine when it had been dried on the line in the frosty air.

I have taken to running the dish-washer when we are here  :o and the laundry gets done over-night ready to hang on the line after breakfast. In the back of my mind ………..  :-\

Washing machines seem to be slightly more likely to cause a fire than dish washers but according to this the odds are still really low but advice is never to leave them running when out or in bed http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/appliance-industry-news/226-washing-machine-news/3751-washing-machines-are-a-fire-risk.html
