When i peg my washing out and bring it back in again i leave the pegs pegged onto the line. According to my Dad & Stepmum & my mum, its lazy.

Is it?

I had a lovely peg bag which I left on the line. Right from the day it was given to me until the day I threw it out as it was rotten by then. I leave pegs on the line. I have never ever thought of wiping the line. It really hasn't occurred to me, ever.

I really am idle.

Debka that is the way I reckon. My mam and Grandma both had a peg apron.

I would probably let it rot too Sad.

My DH has a lovely peg bag

ON reflection only when I go away to I put my pegs away I have a lovely empty peg bag too.
Happy to take any shortcut I can with washing though

I leave the pegs on the line, I leave washing out until it is dry (even it rains twice before that happens Grin, and I don't care what my neighbours think Grin

That's my theory just it's not getting back in the house until it's dry!

WildlingPrincess · 10/07/2013 21:46

I used to do this and found the pegs either went mouldy or broke easily!

YANBU. I leave my pegs on the line, and occasionally leave my washing overnight.

Judge away people :)

Ah you see my washing doesn't go out if I reckon it'll rain, so either it dries fully outdoors in one day, or it's on an indoor airer. Doesn't it go a bit weird if you leave it out for three days to get rained on several times? I don't think my neighbour's slatternly, it just seems impractical and I don't understand!

Wipe the line? Remove the pegs? This is like daily sheet washing and maintenance washes isn't it? Some freaky MN standard I will never reach.

Fuck, am I supposed to wipe the washing line?
