to be ^horrified^ at my Dm's NDN's slatternly ways?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Bottoms from the bottom and tops form the top.

Shpuld I educate the poor soul?

I hang trousers from the bottom of the legs. They dry better that way.

Sometimes I hang tops sideways.

See, this - non-matching pegs, things hung up the wrong way, things not given a good shake 'snap' before haning up - is why I prefer to hang up my washing myself no ironing in this household.

I even enjoy folding my nice, neat, clean washing - putting it away though... gah!

Oh, but it depends on the garment!

Non-matching pegs, however, are inexcusable.

If you hang tops from the bottom you get that horrible stretchy bell shape. If you hang them from their shoulder seams you don't. So there.

And I deliberately don't match pegs. It's twee.

I have a friend who polishes her granite work typo endlessly, she dusts and polishes and sweeps and scrubs.... And yet her washin line looks like someone has vomited the contents of her washing machine on it

IT BOTHERS ME

Ilove I've got big chunky pegs for duvets, small light pegs for light things and Lakeland soft pegs with a little flower on it and a silicone bit.

I'm not fussed out the colour matching but I don't want a bath towel hung up with a duvet peg + a lightweight.

I must be out of bloody touch. I thought you had flounced! Pleased you're home again. Pissing self at this thread. I had words with my self for fretting about non matching pegs today. Thought I was being weird so made myself use non matching. Never again.

Wooden pegs are the only way.

Wooden pegs go mouldy here .

Yy to Lakeland's soft pegs and some chunky ones for heavier items.

I think I need to get out more!

But I do hang pants from just one peg and a corner of pant

I am a freeeee spirit

T-shirts should be neatly folded over the line and pegged underneath the armpits.
So should dresses.
Otherwise too much weight and they stretch.
Shirts hung upside down and pegged on seams.
Trousers hung from the waistband, never the legs.
Everything facing the same way.
Different colours on different sides of the whirlygig.
Only matching softpegs to be used.

I am old. I know these things.

This thread had made my week

Pants only need one peg. Or sometimes I hang a bunch of pants together with one peg.

And tops are folded over the line.,

70 I bow to your wisdom.

And NannyOgg it goes without saying that you are right. You know everything. Anyone that smokes a pipe and drinks rum by the pint is alright by me.

Do you haev British pants or Uhmerican?

Anything has to be better than my DH's method of throwing everything in the general direction of the washing line then sticking pegs in at random intervals. At least I assume that is what he does as the end result sure looks like it!

trashcan? Was that to me?

I think I lasted 17 days way longer than usualsus.

MrsO - I'm on my craptop.

Pacific, Next Door Neighbour. Sigh. You can't get the postesr.

I don't use matching pegs, I'm such a slattern

My pants are British and rather large

The important thing, surely, is to arrange by family member. So you can hand the appropriate person a plastic trug & direct them to retrieve their stuff from outside & put it away.

Anyone under 7 does not need ironed clothes.

Anyone over 7 should be able to do their own ironing as required...there's probably a badge for it...

And NannyOgg it goes without saying that you are right. You know everything. Anyone that smokes a pipe and drinks rum by the pint is alright by me.

Forgot to mention, clothes should always be washed and dried inside out...

I think you all need to get out more.

Buy NDN a tumble dryer.

Problem solved.

Def tops from the bottom and bottoms from the top

I rotate mine. They start off as bottoms from the top and tops from the bottom but once the legs of the bottoms are dry I hang them from the bottom. As a pp said, sometimes the waistband benefits from blowing in the breeze and I'm a saddo with nothing better to do.
