I'm hopefully getting it tomorrow, but now i have wet clothes, and a working drier, and will i be safe to use it?

Just make sure that the damp air can escape through an open door or window otherwise it will create damp in your home. Not a problem now but it may be one when the winter comes. Save up and invest in a hose if you can.
After only a short time of using it you will wonder how you every coped without one!

Not only does the hot air need someplace to go, all that moisture will make the house even warmer. Remember, too, that the lint filter doesn't stop all the lint. Venting the dryer into the room will coat everything with moist lint. Blech.
Hang the clothing on hangers to dry them overnight. Tomorrow, when you have the vent, tumble the clothes to soften them back up. Letting them sit wet in the basket will encourage mold, and make the items stink (requiring a re-wash).

I have a tumble dryer (not a condenser dryer) and i used the vent hose until it split and have never used one since. The only thing i find is you get more dust and fluff in the air.

I had a tumble dryer for years and never used a vent hose. So carry on theres nothing to worry about.

Yes, I have used mine once when awaiting a new hose and it was fine, it sits in a small room adjoined to the house facing the open door. As long as there is somewhere for the hot air to blow out it should be fine. Would not recommend doing it too many times though!

Should be okay if it´s just for today , but not for using the dryer every day. All you will do is fill the air with condensation, which will then lead to you having mould & mildew in the room you are drying the clothes

I wouldn't recommend it. Appliances like this need to be properly ventilated. It's not just hot air that's being vacated, but also gases (if it's a gas dryer). You might be exposing yourself to higher levels of carbon monoxide. It may also present a fire hazard.
Though it'll smell nice inside, and I doubt one time would hurt, I wouldn't get into the practice. I know it's more work, but it would definitely be worth the trouble. Besides, hoses are like $12.

One time usage will probably not hurt but remember, you are filling the area with moisture and lint. The lint trap doesn't trap it all. Get the hose connected as soon as possible.

no all dryers need to be vented outside. if not you can damage the area (walls ,floors) around the dryer that the warm moist air is coming into contact with. not to mention get lint everywhere.

If your dryer works on gas you need to vent it so as not to die from carbon monoxide poisoning (completely odorless and tasteless and can kill you in your sleep) If your dryer works with electricity then I recommend that you still vent it so as not to have all that moisture in the area that it occupies and avoid mold from forming and the moisture doing damage to the walls/floor/ceiling and anything else that is in the same area.
