That is about the only load that I have come up with that is needed

You can always run the tumble dryer.


You need timers. Eg a plug in timer for the washing machine. *Your oven
already has one


Some washing machines have a delayed start timer as standard - I don't
know if to make use of economy 7 type tarifs or something like that.


And a lot of machines these days don't have mechanical 'on/off' switches,
so I doubt that plug in timers would be effective.

You turn the programme switch to the first click. The macine starts
when the plug in timer switches the power on.
