Confused, what does a cat tower have to do with getting your washing dried? 😂

A bit lo-fi maybe, but I've just got a couple of these and they do me fine

There should be a law to stop manufacturers designing cars that need a bumper removed to change a bulb ....

There is no chaos like that which ensues by accidentally kicking either of these parts with a full load of washing hanging.

Couple of them in a small room with a dehumidifier. Works a treat.

We now have two kids and a dryer is great for dealing with sheets, clothes and all sorts that toddlers get through in a day.
Having said that we actually wouldn't be without our dehumidifier. Basically put three airers up in the spare room with the ancient dehumidifier I picked up for £30 on gumtree with the probably no longer legal refrigerant. After 12 hours the washing is dry. It costs pennies to run relative to the tumble dryer. It also dries the room and house (no damp), and the waste heat warms the room.
So I would recommend a decent dehumidifier over a dryer.

I needed a new car, and my list of requirements were: automatic, not silver. So I bought this:
I love it to bits. The collection was uneventful except for an agonising 2½ hour wait for the bank transfer to come through (it was flagged as fraudulent but the bank didn't think it was worth telling me this). It's only a 1.8, but it doesn't feel nearly as sluggish as I'd anticipated. It also has some fancy-ass optional extras, including metallic paint, cruise control, ABS and leather upholstery with armrest and ruffled map pockets. I dread to think how much that lot added to the cost in 1991! Anyone got a price list?
A few jobs are required. I was happy to see it came with a Bluetooth radio, but it turns out to be a vintage one which can only do phone calls over Bluetooth, not music. So that was replaced as a priority. There's a little oil leak from the rocker cover (advised on the last MOT) which shouldn't be difficult to rectify. The boot is damp which really needs sorting ASAP because I hate a boot you can't leave a coat in. It runs beautifully except when first started (hot or cold) it runs rough until the throttle is blipped. If you start it with the throttle pressed slightly it doesn't do it. I don't know much about these engines or the injection system, so I have a bit of learning to do.
It's delightful.
