Hi Kaye , I would definitely get a tumble dryer separate to your washer . The ease and the way they dry and fluff towels is something else . You will love it . Just wanted to say I loved your cottage but you are making your new home so beautiful I am soooooooo Happy for you and your family . I just want to wish you the most wonderful Christmas with your family and may the New year deliver all your dreams and a life full of happiness and good health xxxxx
Don’t get a combined washer/ dryer. We had one admittedly sometime ago. But it didn’t dry as well as a separate one.
And there are times when I have bedding in the dryer and a load of washing on at the same time.
Lovely vlog, 🌿 beautiful tree 🎄
Absolutely love Harlow Carr... depending how far away you are, it could be worth joining in a year or 2 as their play areas are fabtastic and they have family/kid events throughout the year. We've spent many or an hour (or day in summer) enjoying the fab play areas, a picnic, Betty's treats and all the space for the kids to run around! We live around 25 min drive away and even go in Winter for an hour or so to get the kids running around.
We recently got a tumble dryer, (separate from washing machine), and I have a 1.5yo. IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE ❤ I don't know how I lived without it for so many years! Please, please get one. You can't believe how much of a help it is 😊
I always put my washed bedding over my heated drier instead of using the cover. It still traps the hot air enough to dry all the washing well.
I prefer this to using our drier as the bedding doesn't need ironing after.
Oh Kay I had a washer drier and hated it, I wish I had never bought it and couldn’t wait to get rid of it, I found the clothes smelled musty. I had to save up to replace it with separate washing machine and tumble dryer. I chose to sacrifice a base unit/cupboard in the utility area, it really was worth it!
Thanks for sharing! It’s good to hear personal experience as I don’t want to waste our money on something that won’t do the job I need it to 🤦♀️♥️
Recently retired we downsized so had new washer/dryer worst thing ever, kept it but have just purchased separate dryer brilliant. I do very minimal ironing the mistake I think people make is cramming dryer too full I dry few items at a time my energy bills have always been OK ❤ xxx
@@sharonclarke9928me too and I never put soaking wet items in,air in a room with dehumidifier then finish in dryer and no ironing!😊
I agree, I had one and hated it. Would only dry tiny loads (not a washing machine load) and clothes got really hot and crumpled a lot. I now have separate and would never recommend a washer/dryer. Hope that helps.
I agree.... we had one... never again, did not dry well at all.
Yes. Definetly tumble Dryer
...and do not over fill, it needs some space to air the clothes or shhets, towels. My daughter always conplaned 2 dryer cycles ,& still not drying. She was overfilling. Also, make sure the filter is cleanwd after each cycle
One of the things I miss the most from the UK, now living in Canada, is garden centres open all year round. Ours don't open until may, and by August pretty much everything is gone. Thank you for taking us on a lovely tour.
Thank you Kay and Thanks for Wonderful year in videos ❤❤❤😊😊😅Happy Holidays to you and Yours!
I resisted for years but recently got a cheap Beko dryer (condenser) and omg, what a game changer! Dries in 40 mins, bills haven't gone up etc. Best thing ever!
Lovely flog loving the window art and wonderful to see an old friend the reindeer on mantlepiece room looks gorgeous x
Separate dryer is best. I’ve used washer dryer, not impressed, took ages to dry clothes. If you get separate machines you can do a wash and be drying clothes at the same time.
Definitely no to a washer dryer get a separate dryer 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎅🏻🎄🙋🏻❤️
Dear Kay, you are something else. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Lots of kisses and hugs for you all...including your lovely cats.❤
I love our tumble drier. Tried drying indoors, but love the convenience of our dryer. Obv summer time it's on the line.
I love my tumbler for winter .Tried a washer dryer but it took forever .Its actually much healthier than having high humidity in the house all winter from drying washing.
Agreed. I can’t bear wet washing hanging in the house, taking days to thoroughly dry. Causes damp and not healthy to breathe in damp air. I love my dryer and laundry is washed and dried in dryer whilst another load washes. Very efficient and worth the investment and additional energy costs which are not as much as you’d think.
Definitely get a condenser drier ! Worth sacrificing the space for in my opinion. ❤
Highly recommend Samsung Dryer, like Samsung appliances and the ten year warranty . Thanks taking us around on your outings! Love your vlog❤xx
What a lovely video Kay 🥰 Just a thought, why not get an outside line up, then, if it's a lovely crisp Winter day you'll get your big stuff like towels and duvet covers mostly dry outside, we do that and it's amazing how dry you can get your washing hung outside in the Winter then you only need to finish off on the airer in the evening and it minimises the damp air in your lovely home x
Hi Kay loved this video so Christmassy;I def would not sat to get a combined washer/dryer they make your clothes smell all musty and so inconvenient i.You could buy a small dehumidifier which takes out a lot of the water from clothes just by having one in the same room then finish off clothes in a dryer and no ironing!Your home looks lovely Kay and I so enjoyed the colourful park thank you for sharing.Ive not had the best year with losing my mum and no my dads very sick too so not really been feeling very festive but your videos help me so thank you.xx
Usually very organised, but started a new job 3 months ago and really really fell behind very very quickly so I feel you. 😬
Isn’t it wonderful to see all the holiday sights through the eyes of your son!
Hi lovely vlog! You asked about washer dryers, I wouldn’t recommend them, the dryer never completely drys your clothes and you end up having to put it on for longer which takes up more electricity, separate washer and dryer are always better option in my opinion x
Talking about washer/dryers is not boring. It’s a genuine concern. Online reviews can be confusing. I’m in the US and we rarely have the combo type. Having side by side is convenient but does take up a lot of space. I have thought about a stacked set. For a combo one I think is fine as long as you don’t need to wash multiple loads everyday. Is the hanging rack you use heated. That would speed things alone. But with bed linens and towels a dryer would be a bonus.
Kay, you really know how to make a house a home!
Hi Kay have to agree with most of the other comments, it’s well worth getting a separate dryer, we had a washer/dryer when we lived in the UK and it was not the best, clothes still did not get super dry. I invested in a separate dryer and washer and believe me they work so much better, can you get a stackable set in the UK they have them here then you won’t have to sacrifice a cupboard. Clothes come out of a stand alone dryer so dry you can wear them straight away if you wanted to that’s how good they are, invest in one you won’t go wrong. Love your videos cheers Wendy 🇨🇦
I’ve just replaced my washer dryer with normal washing machine as that was a big mistake to get it in first place. To wash and dry one load you need over 5 hrs and it’s still dump and have to put it up to dry completely. Not recommend it. If you have space separate dryer is great apparently but I have no space for one. Dehumidifier saves my life!
I have the Samsung washer dryer and can recommend. If you have space always best to get separate but I don’t have the space. I only really use for towels even in summer I put them in for 30 mins to fluff them up as well as line dry. I use the hanger racks over the stair bannister for bedding and it’s dry in a day.
Hello Kay, l put my washer dryer in the garage, as l only really use it for towels and bedding, so don’t have to go out there very often and l don’t lose a cupboard in the kitchen . Definitely wouldn’t get a washer/dryer as it would be so annoying to wait to put a second load of washing in.
We have a Bosch washer dryer and I love it. Towels come out lovely and fluffy and it has a large drum capacity too xxxx
Forget the washer dryer, invest in a Meaco dehumidifier, I have a washer dryer but I rarely use the dryer it costs loads to run and takes ages, we have a Meaco and seriously its hands down the best money we have spent I gave brushed cotton bedding and put it on the airer put my meaco next to it set the laundry feature and it's dry In no time, towels aswell x it's an air purifier too and warms your house when it's on, 4p an hour to run x highly highly recommend
How lovely was the garden centre visit! Love going to them this time of year.
I am really organised this year, I got most of my presents in November and all finished now. Need to start wrapping next week. Does make you feel so less stressed getting it done, so totally recommend.
Lovely vlog as always! ❤
Hi Kay, lovely video as usual thank you. Ive recently bought a dehumidifier, placed on my landing and my towels and bedding dry over night on sn unheated airer. Also takes all the moisture from bathroom shower and have no condensation on windows in the morning. 🎄🎄
Yes the Samsung Bubble is great! I was sceptical too about washer dryers but sooooo glad I did research and got that one, I would recommend definatly x
Hi Kay, definetly sacrifice cupboard space for a separate dryer. Ive had combined machines in the past and they are a complete waste of money. Perhaps it was just bad luck on my side but the washer/dryer always ended up breaking down and costing a fortune in repairs. Also, if you can, peg your bedding and washing outside. I live in Scotland, so unless it's raining, my washing is always blowing around on my washing line. It has such a lovely smell when you bring it in, especially if it's been a chillier day, and if you do need to dry your things inside afterwards, it most definitely cuts the dryer time down.
Lovely video, Kay, my Christmas tree is almost identical to yours, i have the same colour theme and similar baubles!😂
Have a lovely weekend😊
Kay such a lovely video….i live in the US and I’m so taken by the quaint little town you showed. The beautiful light show and little cafes to have a bite to eat. Your little one is so precious and growing so fast. I love your calm , soft voice and English accent ….it calms me! Hope you are having a wonderful day….blessings 🌲🌲🌲🌲
Here in Canada people still hang laundry out in the winter to dry, okay maybe not completely dry but I’m sure it can be done in the UK
My family in scotland always air dried. My mum actually preferred this way, with the fresh air. Only thing I realised when using dryers in uni was time management was easier with dryer as it drys quicker and warmer. But air drying works just as well. Sometimes better since its not got steam to dampen if sat for a bit.
I love your outing to see the lights, i would love to go but not sure where it is? I wish i could have a drier but my kitchen is yoo small. You have a lovely family life, thats a blessing. Love your new home. Love your cats too. ❤❤❤
Lovely vlog today.
With drying if the paths are dry I still hang my washing out, some days it dries wonderfully others it just takes the damp out. Although one year I was sooooo cold my towels and bedding were frozen 😅 I'd say a separate tumble dryer that way you can still use your washing machine, yes you lose cupboard space but you have loads of storage in your house xx
We have a really good washer dryer. I’ve had bad ones before though. Ours is a Samsung. As long as you don’t ram it full it’s fab. I don’t have space for separate. I dried my super king heavy linen duvet cover in it tonight in an hour
Don’t do it!!! We got a washer dryer as we only had one gap in the kitchen and it was such a waste. The washer part was fine but the dryer would take 8-10 hours to dry a load so washing one load would literally take ALL day. Then after about a year the dryer part just broke. It wouldn’t dry even the smallest load so eventually we bought a separate dryer and it lived under our dining room table until we moved to a house with 2 gaps. As for drying bedding I have the same issue so what I do is wash everything together but then I pop the duvet cover on an airer while the bottom sheet and pillow cases go in the tumble dryer and once dry the duvet cover goes in the tumble dryer to finish off. I’d love to hang them outside in summer but our neighbours on both sides smoke so our garden just always stinks 😢.
Never been impressed with washer dryers
I personally think a separate dryer works better for me and the family xxx
The drawings on the windows are so cute.
Awesomeness... from start to finish... thanks for sharing 😊.....
Love your videos! Love watching your little ones excitement!! 🎄❤️
Could you stack the washing machine and dryer so you don’t lose space?
Sometimes you need to move things around, a different layout works wonders.
You can get Dom to set up your phone to control the tv as well, that way if young mister has wandered off with the remote, you can still watch 😊. Another beautiful video! X
The problem with many washer/dryers is that often you have to take half the load out before you start drying and if you have more than one load to do you have to wait for the dryer to finish before you can put another load of washing in! Lovely video. Your little boy is growing fast!! xxx
Totally agree with this. It ends up taking up most of the day
We don't have the space for a dryer but our washing machine has a "spin only" mode and it basically does the job of a dryer ! It has reduce at least by half if not more the drying time dans without damaging any clothes. Maybe this might help with your laundry 🧺😊
Hi your little boy walks really well considering his age he’s amazing.i love garden centres ,i have nt put my tree up yet might do it on Monday .your tree looks beautiful xxx🦌🦌🦌🦌🎄🎄🎄🎄
Sutch a beautiful video kay ❤ ive never had a washer dryer but people i know dont like them thay take forever to dry the clothes x
Shatterproof ornaments are the best.
Hi Kay, we have a Samsung washer/dryer. Would definitely recommend, brilliant for bedding and towels. 🥰
.Morning from Australia it,s 3am here ,glad your video was up love your postive vibes
What a lovely video ! And your skin is looking amazing ❤ In terms of washer/ drier. We had the Eco bubble. It was a great washing machine but I never got on with the drier cycle. It never dried everything thoroughly. I recommend getting a separate drier. It's worth the cupboard space! X
Boring comment alert BUT… have you a launderette anywhere nearby? I do all my washing at home and take it in the big blue Ikea bags to the self service launderette. For about £4/5 I can dry 4/5 loads in half an hour tops. I do this all winter when I can’t peg out. It’s so much better than having the clothes horse up all the time!
Have the cats settled into their new home? I got one of the first washer/driers years ago and was very excited to have one. Two weeks later Indesit recalled them as they were going on fire so my excitement didnt last long. Lol.
I bought chalk pens last year and let my two grandsons draw a Christmas picture on the patio door. The eldest who was 6 drew an amazing castle and the youngest who was 4 added snowmen who represented mummy,daddy his bother and himself . It was very impressive and so cute that I don’t think I cleaned it off until at least February 😂
I bought a washer/dryer. I've found it to be a waste of money. It takes forever for my clothes to dry. It's definitely not the same as a normal dryer. I've gone back to using an airer.
Lovely video love the tree and christmas decor in your house. The place you went to with all the lights looks amazing and the garden centre beautiful place, I just love a garden centre. Hope you all have a lovely weekend xx
It was gorgeous wasn’t it! So happy you enjoyed ♥️
Hi Kay, what kind of frypan did you use in the video? It looks nice and looks like nonstick. xx
I looked at the new condeser dryers but I still want the separarte dryer , I've had one for years and just prefer them. Space is always a problem. I'm aplanner lists for everything but having family all over the country i need to be organised. We are moving before Christmas this year so everything was sorted by first of December.
I’ve had three washer dryers they don’t work properly, lots of issues,
I got a tumble dryer and I wished I’d got it sooner I’d saved myself a fortune 😊
I've had a washer dryer before and the drying aspect was just so bad we had to hang it up on an airer after anyway! 😕
Is your dry:soon efficient? We are moving in a small apartment with no space for a dryer so was thinking to buy it. How long does it take for clothes to dry? Thank you
Kay, another lovely video. Thank you ♥️
I couldn't live without a dryer, we had Miele in one of our rented apartment .
It has a cold short programme, so when I wanted to hang my washing outside on a nice day, I would just put it on cold to catch the pet hair 😅. This apartment didn't have one so we bought used one Bosch (for only about 30€) its fine, but it doesn't have much programs unfortunately. And I have noticed that it's shrinking clothes a bit more recently, after 5 years.
The next one, after we move, will probably be the new Electrolux, because it's super gentle to clothes.
If you decide to buy one, make sure It has a heat pump, they are more efficient, more gentle and your electricity bill is not going to be huge😅. They are a bit slower, but it's worth it.
I was just thinking Kay why don't you get one of them heated air dryersxxx
Why don’t you stack a dryer on top of the washing machine? Wouldn’t have a 2 in 1 x
We just bought the HISENSE 3S Series WD3S9043BB3 WiFi-enabled 9 kg Washer Dryer from Currys and although I haven’t used it much yet (literally just moved house this week!) I’m hopeful! I think the technology has improved a lot in recent years. I’m 6 months pregnant so I realise I’m going to have a lot more washing to do soon 😅 I’ll let you know how I get on.
You have such a cozy home. Aren't you thrilled to be homeowners?🌲🏫
Don't they use dryers in England? They're great and make your laundry so soft . As far as a combo washer / Dryer goes, I know they are very European. I've had one and the dryer part was worthless. A separate dryer ( if afordable there)is the answer.
My sister had a washer and dryer in one and she said that she wished that she never brought it they are no good okxxx
Thank you for a beautiful cozy video.❤
Australia def does not celebrate Christmas as well as the UK 😔😔😔
Sacrifice a cupboard and by a seperat dryer. Its so worth it, Kay.
Drying clothes on a hanger indoors is to much moist and bad for indoor climate and your health. You Will get a problem with mold in your House over time.
So beautiful ❤ thank you
Good morning, Kay. The lights and garden center were lovely. Ours here are not like that. I wish they were. Your little one looked so cute toddling along. I think vlogmas iscto stressful for everyone who does it. And that is not needed. Whatever you post is great. ❤
Can I ask what coffee machine you have?
Please don’t get a washer dryer. All the time it’s drying you can’t be washing. You will have a constant backlog and always be waiting for something to finish. I get your not wanting to sacrifice cupboard space. In the absence of a sizeable utility room put a tumbler in you ur shed/summerhouse. Finally, I found on a combined that washing always had dryer fluff on it. Not pretty,
Lovely video 😊
Hi can u only get the skincare in the uk i live in Australia and it wouldnt let me :(
Wow...beautiful..thank you..🎉
Separate dryer for sure
I wouldn't have a washer/dryer they definitely are not the best for drying
Never had a single unit washer-dryer that dried properly, would not recommend.
Iv only heard negative things about them x
I would HIGHLY recommend NOT getting a washer dryer, they are awful! Everyone told us not to get one, didn’t listen and now have to deal with a complete waste of money that doesn’t wash clothes properly and doesn’t dry it either so it’s a waste of time
❤❤❤
Hello ❤
❤❤❤❤❤xxx
Your advert went on too long switched o ff sorry
