To not care about rain on my washing?

[grobagsforever]

Obviously following on from neighbour thread. I don't understand the MN horror at letting washing get wet in rain, then leaving it until it is dry and then getting it in and wearing it. It's just rain FFS! There are far, far more germs and dirt on your keyboards/mobile phones etc.

Also I don't iron, do maintenance washes or own a peg bag. I'm pretty sure my clothes are clean and I don't smell.

I did too usual it was soooooooo lovely and cool !

I have a peg basket thing.

I loved that 80's song by modern romance.... Today I saw you walking in the rain...

It's not about germs though is it? More the point that if it pisses down for the next week what are you supposed to do with a pile of soaking wet washing?

Just leave it out till the sun comes back out

That is why God created tumble driers ...

I don't have a washing line so can't join your club (live in apartment) but what does a maintenance wah entail?

Oh no, what's a maintenance wash? Should I be doing them? ( hoping the answer is no as it sounds like more work)

I think it's nice the neighbour got the washing in - though frankly it used to creep me out when my neighbour did that (we had a communal patch of ground for washing and she used to watch like a hawk and dash out, then fold my knickers for me. ).

I'm quite happy leaving it out if it's been rained on, but it is horrible if it gets half-dry and then hangs for too long as it does smell revolting.

Is it not kind of obvious which situation is which?

The MN attitude reminds me a bit of the attitude to 'best before' dates. Sniff it and see.

er......, tumble dryer!!! I hav'nt had a line since 1992!!!

and don't want to hear crap about how lovely it is to have freshly blown towels( sounds rude)

tumble dryer is the future just like garlic bread!!!

Oh you put your washer on random wash thing when you have no washing and feel like a domestic goddess. Cleans your drum

Mine is currently getting soaked. Will take it in once it has dried again.

Where abouts is it raining ? We have clouds but no rain yet.

I just rushed to get the just washed nappies pegged outside BECAUSE it was going to rain. Free extra rinse. Yep, I really am that tight.
But no, I don't bring them in if it's raining, unless they are dry or nearly dry.

Pissing it down in the east midlands.

I rarely use my tumble drier. It shrinks things.

Socks go in adult size and come out child sized.

pissing it down in West Midlands!!

agree socks but don't care!! hard like that me.

Just me and Fakebook with the schedule so far then...

Yes BaldricksTurnip, I do! I got into the habit after getting my tumble drier last year. If I don't keep on top of it, I end up with piles of clothes in my living room and kitchen. Wash, dry, fold, put away. Takes 20 mins, then repeat with the next load.

YANBU - I also don't care about my washing be rained on (tight this minute) forecast is for no rain after midnight. It'll be dry in the morning.

Oh good. I am not a complete slattern. Thanks!

It's nothing to do with i smelling, i just get cross when i know my washing would have been dry and now it is wet. Then i have to take it in and hang it up/tumble dry it.

I get the rage if iv just put a washing out and it rains or that my washing is almost dry and them it pours a days worth of rain in the two minutes it takes for me to get outside .

I mostly like to do my washing as early as possible if the day looks promising just incase it turns.

YANBU. Not bothered by my washing getting wet. The rain round here seems to be pretty clean, and does not make my washing smelly.

I don't mind rain either. But when the washing's nearly dried and been rained on more than 2 times it starts to go musty and sort of moldy. So, I try and let it get rained on only once..
