Where we start off drying our clothes outside but have to finish them off on the clothes horse or in the tumble dryer. :-( |

Yes the days are noticeably shorter now. That reminds me - are the shops now full of Christmas things? |

The weather forecast doesn't look good for pegging out over the next week. If the washing isn't going to dry outside it may as well be draped over airers from the start. No more fresh outdoor smell :-( |

Don’t they sell that fresh outdoor smell nowadays? |

Lenor make an 'outdoorsy' fabric conditioner. |

No thanks. If I can't have natural fresh air I'm bugged if I'm paying for synthetic rubbish. I have very sensitive nose trils and upper resp. |

The fake smell isn't on the clothes anyway when dried indoors. |

It's still an irritant to people with sensitivity though |

I was going to make use of the slight breeze but popped to the shops before I hung the washing out. Probably a lucky choice as I found there was light rain. |

When I worked in schools, I could spot the children whose clothes were washed in Ariel a mile off!!! |

Clothes washed in Ariel glow in the dark under UV light. :-D |

Yes, certain scented fabric conditioners are awful! |

Anything electrical can catch fire. With tumble dryers, never leave them running whilst you are out of the house and ALWAYS clean the fluff from the filter after use. |

I don't use fabric conditioner and am very sensitive to some of them. One cottage we stayed in, bedding and towels were drenched in it and I had streaming eyes and sore throat after the first night, plus it makes the towels virtually non-absorbent. |
