Joss I have one like that but it is similarly “knackered” my daughter bought a new one that plugs in and dries the clothes but her husband says it adds about £6-8 a month on to the electricity bills.
SO NO CHANCE OF ME GETTING ONE OF THOSE lol.
My son is moving out next year (don’t say anything he doesnt know it yet lol) so washing will be greatly reduced.
I have a tumble drier but seldom use it, although bath towels are so much softer after a tumble dry.
How are you feeling today my friend, I often wonder how you manage to cope with the health problems you have.
