anybody got any information on the cost of using a tumble dryer? I'm
looking for approximate costs, i.e. cost to dry 5KG of washed towels.

Random estimates would be between 2-6 kWh. 5kg of terry towelling
would be at the higher end. It depends a lot on the material, size of
a "load" and mainly on how wet it is when it goes in. A tumble drier
is a lousy spin drier - if your spinner has lost its whizz, then just
throwing the wet clothes into the tumbler instead is an expensive
alternative to fixing the spinner (would she listen ? Oh, no, what
would _I_ know about laundry).
