Such a slob

Get a Night Lark duvet. Lovely and warm and lightweight, I haven't used a hot water bottle since I got mine. Wash the whole thing and it dries indoors hung over a rack in 90 mins max.

Oh yes - our nearest DIY store has recently acquired ( in the car park) outdoor laundry machines, for larger wash loads. It’s quite expensive but up would be useful for duvets or curtains- or if travelling. We have a camper van and outdoor laundry facilities in supermarket car parks are really useful! New to UK but I wonder if Scotland will get some.?

Recently I’ve seen large, outdoor ‘launderette facilities’ at petrol stations, rather like parcel lockers - not sure where you’re supposed to go to wait for the wash to finish? In your car, I suppose…🤔 The large drum takes 20kg!!

The end of the world! I wonder how the homeless manage, especially in this extreme cold?

@romola unfortunately the U.K. is generally too damp to do as you do, the washing freezes and thaws and refreezes, stays damp or gets wet with rain. It rarely dries outside in winter. I do peg things out for an airing if it is dry enough, although I don’t expect it to dry and I have to keep an eye on the weather.
I have just had to buy a new tumble dryer as mine broke down and I don’t have much space indoors for drying. My nearest laundrette is two busses and a train ride away (plus a half hour walk) so that’s not really an option 🤷🏻‍♀️ Wish it was, I hate the smell of indoor dried bedding (although the smell of scented fabric conditioners is even worse!)

Take it to a Dry Cleaners.
