To just leave it

[breakthepattern]

I'm in bed.
I've just remembered there is laundry outside on the line.

I really cannot be arsed to get up, get dressed , turn off burglar alarm, go outside and unpeg the bloody stuff.

Aibu to just leave it out there to get darked on???

Surely clothes will not dry outside the same day
We dry all our washing outside. It dries in a few hours and we live in the damp West Country.

Same as Maitland, I always dry mine overnight here in summer otherwise the sun bleaches them. White bed sheets and towels get dried in the day. We get very strong warm winds in summer so line drying isn't too different to the tumble dryer anyway!

Clothes being darked on and spider willies are a MN joke from way back!

I live in a country with lots of deadly venomous creatures and i often dry clothes overnight... Just shake stuff out when you take it down?

I did this once and they were full of earwigs. Hideous. I’d still do it again tho. My house at the time had an earwig problem so it depends how earwiggy an area you live in

grrrrr.. I just had to run outside and get mine in as neighbour had a bonfire. At 3pm on a Monday!!!!

I just went to hang clothes up and decided not to - the local fields have just been manured. Bleugh…..

Haha oh shit they're still out there!!! at least this time I'm still downstairs. Albeit in my dressing gown...

Seriously what's the worst that could happen. Kick back and snooze.

@CloudPop this is night 2

I did that once - it turns out our washing line is directly under a bird flight path. Never again.

notharry mine will dry in half an hour on a hot day.

ut oh
its getting DARKED on

Your sheets are now haunted, bring them inside at your peril, they’ve been through too much outside in the dark to ever be happy in the light....

I have a bird flight path in my garden too and horses and cattle nearby meaning flies in the summer so my washing stays inside where it's clean

Spider willies too probably

Outside not inside hopefully

@Princess1066 spider willies 😂. Do you join with female spider parts to make spider babies in the laundry room?? 😮

I always do this! Leave it and keep warm 😊

Did it freeze and defrost again?
Pretty sure it was 0 C last night.

@Alicewond Oh Lordy maybe I should check to see if there is any spider copulation occurring in my smalls

It came in last night!
I'll report back on any guests that came in with it...

Mine had a night al fresco last night. Got to 10pm and I could t be arsed to stand about in the cold and dark in my nightie to get it in 🤷‍♀️. Plus I’d rather the spiders (and their willies) were on the washing than on my face 😂 it’ll dry at some point and if not I’ll jist have to get it in won’t I?!
