Are those underwear peg things any good?

[MamaG]

You know, the ones that clip onto your washing line nad have a round thing underneath with lots of little pegs on, for underwear. Do they work, or do you end up with damp knickers?

oops, this isn't good housekeeping!

please?

Yes, they're good if you'res hort of line space. Things do take longer to fry, obviously, but get there in the end.

why are you frying knickers?

my knickers are hot stuff already I don't need to fry them

I have one but hang it in airing cupboard not on the line.. Tis good, generally can fit all underwear from a wash on there and it dries really quickly.

Ta nutty, thats a good idea

sorry, didn't spot htat. One-handed typong.

I@ve got some from Ikea (shaped like an octopus as it happens). I@ve not noticed them taking longer to dry and they're fab as you only have to snatch [snurk] one thing off the line when it's raining! Great for indoors too where drying space is limited- I hang them from a curtain pole above a radiator, stylish but effective!

I use mine for socks so that I don't have to individually peg 50 socks to the line - tis brill! Also useful for camping.

They are bloody brilliant.

Right I'll buy one (from Ikea, I want an octopus)

MamaG I am impressed at your domesticity (real word??) today

AND I made pancakes for breakfast
AND i've baked today already

(should add that most of my housekeeping has been discussed on here, but not actually done )

Am now the proud owner of a bright orange plastic peg thing

I asked if they had it in any other colours, bloke looked at me like I had two heads

I SAID I'm the proud owner of a bright orange plastic peg thing

[round of applause]
Now you're frying!

Good idea Nutty! going to put mine in the airing cupboard from now on!

Congratulations MamaG!

Mine's yellow.

I can never see the point of these things except to save space on the line.
I prefer hanging the small stuff on radiators or on the garden furniture.I am much to lazy to peg a million socks.
