I HATE AIRING CUPBOARDS

No airing cupboard because no hot water tank. No cold water tank either. No linen cupboard. DD's bedding (mostly from charity shops; nothing matches anything) in two drawers in her chest of drawers (also secondhand). The rest in a box under a table in my bedroom. I just pull out what's needed when it is and put back folded clean stuff.

Random to the max!

But it works and is simple. Nae worries

Sometimes I think I have a bit of OCD when compared to DD and DH, but when I read some of the stuff some of you guys write, I know I haven't

It's not OCD! I like my bed and like to do it justice with its bedding. Cheers up the mornings.

I like my bed too and it's very cheerful, but just in a random way.

Oh love my airing cupboard! Could not manage without t! Where old you put all your towels and bed linen not mention airing stuff!

Course is muddle have get on chair reach bed linen still have lots pretty bedding from daughters time have got
rid some yes charity shops. Take clean bedding.

Our house too big for combi boiler so glad would hate lose my warm cupboard.

Yes tank is insulated but pipe work etc keeps cupboard warm.

j08 I am becoming quite concerned about you and your household linen. I am sure that you have reported lost bath mats or something similar once before. Can you find another place for storing some of it, if the airing cupboard is too cramped with everything in it. Can you fit some sort of storage unit in a bathroom where you could then store towels?

I was lucky and had a piece of dead space on the the top floor landing so a linen cupboard was built there. It is large enough for the towels, face cloths and bath mats to go on the top shelf in five piles, double sheets etc. to go on the second shelf down, single sheets etc. to go on the third shelf down and tablecloths, oven gloves and various odds and sods to go on the bottom shelf. Not OCD – just out of the way and easy to get at. Well worth the cost.

I guess a boiler is like are water heaters,right?

How many bath mats do you have? I have 4 but I do have a family bathroom and a e suite walk in shower in my bedroom.

Envious , yes they can also heat the radiators for warmth in the house .

Are!I'm a pirate! Meant OUR.

Don"t panic , everyone makes typo"s

absent! Fancy you remembering about that bath mat! Respect!

I think I might have some kind of fetish about them. Got a couple I haven't even taken the tags off of yet.

EnviousA A boiler is one heater, usually in the kitchen that supplies hot water to the central heating radiators and to the kitchen sink and bathroom. You must have them in America!

No airing cupboard in our place either I just have a very old trusted blanket chest which we have had for years with sheets on one side and quilt covers and pillow case's/bath mats and towels on top.

Envious as you probably already know we are freezing to bits here .

What is the weather like where you are ?

My boiler does not heat the kitchen water I have a clever thing called an insinkulater , which also takes the place of a kettle .

Hey presto instant hot water .

Oh I've heard of those. What's the tea like? They don't quite reach boiling point do they? Be good for coffee though.

They use boilers up north for heating,not sure if they use water or gas.Not used in the south.We have gas and electric for heat and water heaters.Dont have knowledge of heating your house with warm water in radiators?

Tea and coffee taste no different , whatsoever , and we drink a fair amount of tea through the day .
The real beauty as far as I am concerned though , is that it is instant , no waiting for kettles to boil .

Envious , I get it , you live more South , so do not need as much heat.

Now IM envious! warm!!!!!

JO , one final point about the insinkulater , it does boil , otherwise the tea would be rubbish , but it not a rolling boil like a kettle .

I most certainly would not put my hand under it . Would recommend them to anyone though .

As far as the weather,we are expecting our first accumulation of snow!We have had some dusting of snow twice. two states away they have 6 inches in Ohio and expecting much more up north. That why they use boilers!

Envious , you say two states away in Ohio , what State are you in ?

Insinkulaters are great! They use to be very popular here,I never had one but they don't seem to be used as much.People seem to be so hung up on getting stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. mostly young people but if you are trying to sell your house that's what people want. Do you find young people expect the best when just starting out?

Im in Tennessee. A very pretty state.

A lot of them do seem to want it all , not like years gone by when had to save .

You are right Tenn. is a pretty State and friendly
