To hang my washing out at night

59 replies

Bbq1 · 29/06/2021 18:47

My morning routine is always busy and I never seem to have time to hang the washing out which is a nuisance especially during the hot weather. Aibu to start hanging my washing out before dark with the idea being that the next evening it will be dry?

You'll get dark on it.

Is that not the stock mumsnet response?

In all seriousness, as long as it's not going to rain, crack on.

I always do this. I leave for work and 6am and don’t have time in the morning

nimbuscloud · 29/06/2021 18:49

Is there a reason you think you might be unreasonable to do this? I will put out a full line of washing before I go to bed. Always have done if the weather is good.

Nope. Spiders will rub their tiny little willies all over your washing, and it will have to be re washed. 😂

Sounds good to me

piglet81 · 29/06/2021 18:51

Not this again. Why do people on MN agonise so about laundry?!

DinosaurDiana · 29/06/2021 18:51

I always do, but according to MN the bats seek out your night time washing to shit on it 🙄

Just wondered if other people do it or if it was ur as the idea only occurred to me a few minutes ago! . Clearly they do so I'll be doing the same from now on!

I think clothes smell nicer if they've been out overnight instead of during the day.

You can hang your knickers on the line, full sail, with 2 pegs, and no one will see.
What's not to like?

Worstyear2020 · 29/06/2021 19:34

What happens to clothes that has been darked on?

LadyMaid · 29/06/2021 19:37

What on earth does darked on mean?

"What happens to clothes that has been darked on?"

They're fit for nowt. You'll need to wash them again

walkoflifewoohoo · 29/06/2021 19:38

"What on earth does darked on mean?"

Do you know what happens when the sun goes down?

Emmelina · 29/06/2021 19:58

Spider willies and dark are the least of your worries.

BirdsandBeesmakinghay · 29/06/2021 20:06

I do it all the time

peaches99 · 30/06/2021 00:14

I do it all the time in the summer. It makes me soo happy to take washing in before lunchtime.
In fact I feel like a domestic goddess 😀

StarlingsDarlings · 30/06/2021 00:19

Yep, I do this. Saves time in the morning.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 30/06/2021 00:19

I always do.
