To peg my washing out over night

[McNewPants2013]

I am new to this, but as I am saving any way I can to get out of debt ASAP I bought a washing line. ( saved £7 this week by not using the tumble dryer)

So do I peg out my washing tonight.

[Justforlaughs]

I have! I won't have time in the morning and it will probably be dry by the time I get back from school run

[stargirl1701]

Yes.

[CecilyP]

I do, though others exclaim in horror about it. I haven't lost anything yet!

[mrsyattering]

I do it, if the forecast is dry :)

[McNewPants2013]

Not worried about it getting stolen only if it smells funny and having to wash it again.

[notapizzaeater]

Always do it - more time at night than in a morning

[TheCatIsUpTheDuff]

I wouldn't. Probably irrational, but it's up there with leaving the curtains closed as Common Things You Don't Want The Neighbours To See. Maybe it's down to spending so much time with Grandma as a child.

I've got some washing out there now, i think it would be dry, it went out at 5pm. I just cba to bring it in lol Il prob do it in half hour or so. If not it will stay out overnight!! il be bummed if it rains though cos i need majority of it to go into suitcase lol

YANBU, give it a go, I have just brought last night's load in & will be pegging out another lot in about 1/2 anhour.
I never seem to have time in the morning.

[Gottalovecosta]

YABU.
I am slightly OCD about washing. I couldn't leave it out all night, what if it smells funny? I take it in.

[McNewPants2013]

No time in the morning I have to be out by 6am for work.

[Amazinggg]

I thought it got damp and stinky if you left it out overnight? I don't give a toss what my neighbours think so will watch this thread intently.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Go for it. It's very satisfying to be able to put away a clean and dry load early in the day.

[NorbertDentressangle]

I do.

Sod those that think that women who hang out washing over night are good for nothing slatterns! In fact, until I read it on MN I had no idea that it was frowned upon in some circles.

[DeathByTray]

If you are not bothered about possible insects / spider webs to deal with in the morning, go ahead.

Mine is out now and will stay out overnight. I'd left a note for DS1 to put the washer on and peg out washing before I went to work this morning.
I think he did it 5 minutes before I came home so it's still very damp!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Why would it smell funny?

[SweetHoneyBeeeeee]

Defo do it. Thinking it's common is totally outdated imo. People are busier nowadays and were all for the environment and all that jazz, yah?

[Onetwo34]

Why would it smell? Warm summer air doesn't smell at night!

[McNewPants2013]

Insect don't bother me.

[heronsfly]

I've just put some out, it will stay there till i get home from work tomorrow,if it rains it will just stay there until it drys again Im common

[Wolfiefan]

I used to but we moved and bats come out to play in the evening. I don't want batshit on my washing!

[EmpireBiscuit]

Ive never tried it. Why would it smell funny?

[McNewPants2013]

I really don't know why, as I said I'm new to this

[NickyNackyNooNoo]

I do if I don't have time in the morning. If this makes me common so be it

[ParadiseChick]

Why would it smell funny over night and not during the day?
