DH wants to explain to me how to hang the washing correctly!

[ZumbaZara]

DH tells me that when he comes home he is going to give a tutorial on putting washing on the line. He thinks he is being very helpful, I have been doing the job for 30 years so obviously I think I am managing OK. However he has now put doubt in my mind. What do you think is the CORRECT way?

Yes, he's a washy fucker alright. My DH is a tumble drier fucker and now banned from doing the washing

superbagpuss you have no idea how glad I am that someone else makes sure that pegs match.

Pegs definately have to match - by colour AND type

Mumsnet collective sanity yet again.

I do so much washing I'm a dab hand at hanging out. I use 3 pegs for 2 tops, 4 pegs for 3 tops etc
Bottoms from bottoms, tops from bottom and I have a large rotary so trousers, pants etc go towards the middle so I can get a good run of tops along the longer edges meaning I use less pegs.

Oh and the best pegs are the best pegs are the recycled ones that come in green and yellow. No rotting wood, no rusty metal and doesn't take much to find a matching colour peg

these pegs

I bought a couple of packets of matching pegs - to save me time finding matching pegs when hanging out the washing

Tops from the bottom, bottoms from the top here too.

And pegs must match.

And items shouldn't be hung half folded over line, iykwim.

Does anyone else do this - with light stuff such as her tights, my mum always put a peg at the bottom too so that they didn't blow about so much.

I've never matched pegs in my life. I'm quite proud of that

There is no correct way, but there are as many preferred ways as there are people.

I would tell him that if he hangs the washing out it'll be done how he wants it.

Er.....that's it.

I think my DH hangs it wrong, but I also think if he is hanging it & I don't need to then I don't really care
