Sock dryer! That's it! I've found it online by that name. I saw one at a friend's house where I was house sitting but some of the pegs were broken and seemed really flimsy and breakable. I'd like one that's more robust. I just saw them online from about £2 up to £20! I was thinking more like £5. But I guess if I have to buy a new £2 one every couple years it still works out cheap.
Does yours break and where did you get it and was it cheap? Maybe the expensive ones break too. Argos has them but no photo to see of it!
