Lighthearted.
There’s no saving it now is there?

Spider willies are proven to be effective at protecting clothes from viruses.

Leave it til the morning.

My DH thought I was mad last night when I ran outside to get the washing because it was getting darked on Grin

DennisReynoldsDuster · 22/03/2020 18:50

I’m looking at it now as it gets darker.
It’s mainly DH’s pants so quite frankly I’m not feeling much urgency to rescue Grin

Beware.. leave it long enough and it might be stolen as substitute loo roll.. just hope to fuck it’s not returned afterwards.

FormerlyFrikadela01 · 22/03/2020 18:53

So is mine... I just shouted down to DP to get it in quick

ellendegeneres · 22/03/2020 18:53

😂😂 @luna

wishing4sun · 22/03/2020 18:55

Mine is staying I've pulled the curtains so I can't see it.

Moreisnnogedag · 22/03/2020 18:56

Ooh there’s no saving it if it’s been darked on already - they may as well stay out there now.

MitziK · 22/03/2020 18:57

Meh, spider willies, men's willies...much the same thing. One's just smaller and hairier.

You don't want either rubbed over your bras if you can help it, but for a bunch of Y-fronts or M&S Finest Trunks, they'll be fine.

My neighbour has had the same washing on the line since December. Is there a danger limit of how many times washing is darked on?

NemophilistRebel · 22/03/2020 19:03

Mines being left overnight for tomorrow

It wasn’t dry enough to bring in

It’s going to be a clear sky tonight (space station visible at 8:30 or thereabouts) and tomorrow another lovely sunny day

RoseCider · 22/03/2020 19:21

Be careful of hedgehog sneezes though!

Sh05 · 22/03/2020 19:27

Guilty as charged!
I left the curtains out all night last night😐😀 shook them out and brought them in this morning. Nice and crisp they were👌

toomuchtooold · 22/03/2020 19:49

Don't know what Mumsnet is coming to. 16 messages in and nobody's told you the approved undarkening method? Just sprinkle Zoflora over it in much the same way as you would use holy water for an exorcism.

This place has changed. SMH.

BrightYellowDaffodil · 22/03/2020 20:00

@toomuchtooold

But how does that take away the dark? I wouldn’t want to bring it into the house...

SarahInAccounts · 22/03/2020 20:01

My DH's pants could only be improved by being darked on.

Samtsirch · 22/03/2020 20:10

@RoseCider
Hedgehog sneezes!!!
That’s so sweet 😁

toomuchtooold · 22/03/2020 20:22

@BrightYellowDaffodil it's powerful and arcane magic, the old Zoflora. Better that you don't know.

SilverySurfer · 22/03/2020 21:49

Thanks for the laugh OP - the board was drowning in threads about CV and mothers day.

So out to the shops to buy new outfits then? Grin

Hallomother · 22/03/2020 23:39

@SilverySurfer you’re welcome :)
I have no zoflora so Ill simply have to burn the pants, possibly while dancing naked around the bonfire for darked cleansing purposes

Dennisreynoldsduster · 22/03/2020 23:41

Wait, that’s weird!

OP posts:
Dennisreynoldsduster · 22/03/2020 23:42

The washing is still being darked on, just checked from the safety of the window. Will have to try and panic buy zoflora tomorrow

whydoesitalwayshappentome, if your neighbours washing has been darked on every night since December, it is probably possessed by evil spirits by now. Don't go near it.
