Um, put them over the radiator for the night. Far safer. I tried to dry my
swimsuit in the radiator once, it didn't work and made a spark. Hmmm. Charlie. "Mike" wrote in message ... Fending for myself for a week, Joan's gone to Italy. Overcome first problem. No Tin opener.

Oh dear. Just leave them hung somewhere that gets a light breeze and wear
another pair! Or as previously suggested, go stay in a hotel. Or go to the launderette and ask the nice lady if she'll dry them for you! Charlie. "Mike" wrote in message ...

Don't have any radiators 'cos we don't have Central Heating :-( assuming you have some heating put that on (what ever it is), drag a chair/table over near it, put a towel over chair (to stop chair getting scorched) and hang socks on towel in front of heating device (this is what my dad does anyway and it seems to work). Best to check every now and then and not to leave un attended or house may burn down. Hayley |

I think the advice given on today's G.Q.T. is in order in this case.
Take a sprig of fresh Rosemary around 1 inch long, place it in a cup and then fill with boiling water and let stand for 5 mins, then drink. very god for clearing the brain. -- David Hill Abacus Nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer ^W^W^W^W uk.rec.gardening, I
heard hayley say... Don't have any radiators 'cos we don't have Central Heating :-( assuming you have some heating put that on (what ever it is), drag a chair/table over near it, put a towel over chair (to stop chair getting scorched) and hang socks on towel in front of heating device (this is what my dad does anyway and it seems to work). Best to check every now and then and not to leave un attended or house may burn down. No central heating here either. In this weather, a pair of socks hung over the towel rail will dry overnight. Failing that, wear another pair. -- Fenny Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. |
