Shit you’ve just reminded me I’ve left a few bits on the line Shock

Bushellight · 29/09/2018 20:41

Yawn

HoraceWimpIsThisYourLife · 29/09/2018 20:41

Yes but only after he’s shaken all of the earwigs out!

Fatted · 29/09/2018 20:42

LTB.

This never used to bother me (mainly in the summer) but I did it last week and woke up to snail trails all over it

This is absolutely the worst time of year to allow washing to be darked on.

Spider jizz everywhere.

ContessasGulagSpaDay · 29/09/2018 20:45

I do this. ALL THE TIME.

shakeyourcaboose · 29/09/2018 20:45

Bugger me too, wonder if could send the dog!

CarlGrimesMissingEye · 29/09/2018 20:47

Crap....

All those moths 69ing on your tshirts, weasels using your towels as sex-towels and hedgehogs rolling around in your lacy pants for the lolz, posting their selfies on HogBook.

Your laundry will be fine, if a little insecty in the morning. Mine went out at 5pm, it'll be dry by 10 in the morning and full of sunshine freshness.

He actually said ‘darked upon’ Grin will leave him to deal with spiders and snail trails in the morning.

Um... what does 'darked on' mean? Leaving washing out overnight? Can't see a problem unless you are keen on dry clothes.

SalemBlackCat · 29/09/2018 20:57

Darked upon? What the actual fuck does that mean? Most people I know regularly leave their clothes out on the line overnight, sometimes if they are workers for 2 or 3 days. I thought that was normal? shrugs. What on earth are you even talking about? Please realise not every poster on here is from your region so can understand the vernacular.

Darked on and spiders wiping their willies

That's a patio burying offence

Anasnake · 29/09/2018 21:00

Bats have sex parties on left out tea towels - fact,

shouldwestayorshouldwego · 29/09/2018 21:00

If he said darked upon then he must be on here somewhere.

chipsandgin · 29/09/2018 21:01

Oooh no, spiders willies Grin

AwdBovril · 29/09/2018 21:04

Darked On - it's a MN thing. Not a regional thing. I think there was a thread, ages ago...

dontticklethetoad · 29/09/2018 21:04

stillsmallvoice and salemblackcat if you know, you know.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/09/2018 21:06

I can cope with spider willies but we have a resident squirrel who bounces round the garden irritating my guinea-pigs "Oh look at me , I can climb this fence and run along it , and I'm Tailey " as he ruffled his fluffy tail in my guinea-pigs' direction.

And I bet he wipes his peanutty pooh arse on my white towels Angry

Gardai · 29/09/2018 21:08

I have a plastic, sorry ‘pleather’ jacket on the line from the teenager and it will stay there, covered in cobwebs, bird shit or other night time nasties.

FishesThatFly · 29/09/2018 21:09

Phew! Thanks OP DH... have just retrieved mine from outside

Sparklingbrook · 29/09/2018 21:09

I had to scrape the ice off my windscreen this morning, there is no point in leaving it out overnight, just get it in.
