I have seen neighbours water their gardens in the middle of pouring rain . Maybe that was the reason for doing so , but everyone has a reason don’t they otherwise we won’t do what we do irrespective of what others think

My husband has always thought I was a bit mad and I too have done what you have written about. They might as well be on the line as opposed to going smelly in the basket and need to be washed again. Thats logical I recon!

stories are great

arh no I never would hang washing in the rain lol

If I was on tank water I would be doing exactly the same thing.

Everyone has their own way of doing things.

LOL! This sounds like something I’d do.

we don’t have a dryer at our house

I’ve never hung clothes out in the rain before, I’ve always run out to bring them in to put in the dryer, maybe next time I won’t.

I never hang in clothes in the rain before hihi…. might be good idea.

I have never heard of someone putting washing out in the rain, it does seem to defeat the purpose, but I understand the use of the dryer to warm the house, we do that too with the oven at times, let the heat come into the home

yes the washing coming of the line after being in the rain smell lovely and frsh

Lol. I think it is a great idea. Nothing wrong with fresh rain water. the clothes would be nice and fresh.

i would say your not nuts! good idea

If you’re reliant on tank water, what you did makes perfect sense. Nothing quite so good as a rinse of rain water to make clothes really clean and fresh. Nuts? No, I’d say sensible.

Never thought of using the rain as a rinse for clothes! Done it with the car though!

Yes you are officially nuts. lol in a fun way.

Does it not get more difficult to dry as it gets wetter without the spin cycle.

always using the dryer to heat up our house – especially in the morning!

All I can say is that there is some method in your madness!
