"The thing for the socks"

FlutterShite · 30/03/2019 14:02

Socktopus! Why didn't I know about this fantastic name before now? We call ours "the clippy thing". Well, I do, anyway. No one else ever bothers loading or unloading it, because the magic Smalls Fairy does that for them.

PandaG · 30/03/2019 14:15

Clippy thing in our house too!

lucysmam · 30/03/2019 14:30

It's a "peggy thing" here.
