Local man Jeremy Philips has taken a major step to become the first man he knows in their 20s to buy a second set of bed sheets.

This comes as Jeremy was walking through the shops and on a whim decided to pick up a second set of the exact same sheets he already has, which are the cheapest ones he can buy in his area.

“This is a big step for mid-20s man-kind,” he said of the purchase, “this must have been what Neil Armstrong felt like.” [...]

Meh. A washer dryer combo with a 60C express wash is a bit over an hour and if there's only a set of sheets and duvet covers in the dryer (and they're cotton not synthetic so you can run it on hot), the drying doesn't take much longer.

So easily under 4 hours, I'd say.

And there's even a 15 min express express wash. That and just the sheet and duvet cover in the dryer and you're looking at less than 2 hours I'd say.

I'm not a wealthy person, but I am lazy, so I invested in tower combo when I moved here as I'd prolly never wash anything otherwise. Or I would, but then I couldn't be arsed to hang it to dry.
