We seem to have so many all of a sudden. I have a feeling they're going to become like hair bobbles - we'll have masses but never be able to find one in a rush.

I'm thinking hooks but I'm so bamboozled by the choice I don't know where to begin. Whatever we do it will probably have to go on wallpaper so suction hooks are not the answer

On the other hand I suppose if they properly lock us down we won't be going anywhere so its a silly question

Handbag, car, various pockets. Stupid things.

Basket on the stairs.

Pocket if wearing clothing with a pocket. Otherwise in the bowl where I keep keys and purse. Or so I attempt to do but often found shoved in the change bag or a shopping bag or the little storage bit by the gearstick. I only have one

I bought a few matching mask bags on Etsy and EBay
I attached one to my keyring and one on my phone 😂and I have one in my bag
Each has a mask in it
I got fed up of getting to the shops and then realising I didn’t have my mask
As I always have at the very least either my phone keys or bag with me I always have a mask

Clean ones - in underwear drawers which is also where we keep hankies etc.
Dirty ones - straight into the laundry basket as soon as we get home.

In one of the drawstring bags you get for fruit and veg in the supermarket, hung on a hook by the front door.

My handbag
The hood of the buggy
Car door compartment
Glove box
Fruit bowl
Wedged in the seal of the washing machine
Think I recently spotted one in the fruit bowl

They're taking over my house!!

I have some hangers with clips on for drying socks, turns out they're good for drying masks too, so I keep on hanging on the door above the washing machine, clean ones go straight onto it to dry, then I move it to by the front doo and put another one up for the next lot. There are 5 adults and one dc in the house and we all have to wear them so seem to have loads now.

Basket of clean ones on the hall table next to the "pockets tray" that holds keys, inhalers etc, plus a plastic lunch box full of clean ones in my work bag. Mask basket also holds a big squirt bottle of sanitiser, washable filters, and nose wires for masks.

Separate plastic lunch box marked 'dirty' for transporting dirty ones back home from work.

On arrival home all dirty masks go in a plastic pot with boiling water before being machine washed.
