What is okay on the day of the funeral?

[Mumofteens4]

Do you think it would be okay to do my washing and hang it out tomorrow (the day of the Queen’s state funeral), if I stick to blacks?

🤣🤣🤣

It not about what the Queen would have wanted is it? Presumably the Queen would have wanted her grandchildren to have supportive partners while they grieve, but that didn't stop people having a go at the Sussexes did it? We passed rational quite some days ago in some quarters.

I've watched nothing of the hours and hours and hours of coverage. I watched the condensed version on Gogglebox and I'll do the same about the funeral. To answer the question...do what you want...as long as it doesn't involve anywhere that needs to be open.

Of course you'd not be doing anything wrong.

But no doubt you'll have a crazy neighbour who "shames" you on Facebook for hanging out your smalls - probably the same moron who'd shame you on Facebook for not clapping NHS workers at the start of Covid!

But you really shouldn't live your life in fear of your crazy neighbours and just do what you want to do!

Tomorrow’s day off would have been the perfect opportunity to meet with friends, two of them are in town from abroad and the rest of us are free. We did discuss booking a pub lunch or restaurant but thought it might be frowned upon as there’d most certainly be lots of animated chat and laughter.

But hanging up washing, yes of course you can!

The Queen was from the 'Keep calm and carry on' era, so I think she would say crack on, OP. I also think she would approve of your practical thinking re weather. Perhaps you could salute the laundry as it blows gently in the breeze

Oh.my.god. I thought this was a joke but you're serious?? 🤣🤣🤣

@garlicandsapphires yes it was sarcasm 🤣

I'll have my smalls drying in the breeze in honour of HM tomorrow. And not just the black ones!

I will be having a respectful bathe in a tub of Dubonnet. Wearing a paper crown.

Thats given me a proper laugh out loud moment!

You're serious when you say you won't mow the lawn when the funeral is on? Are all your neighbours hard of hearing? This kind of thinking is beyond me. I mean, fair enough if you lived within earshot of the funeral itself. But it is just a television programme that some people will watch and others won't.

You’ll be ok if it’s just dark colours and there’s no undies involved. I don’t celebrate Christmas but make sure if I hang my washing out on Christmas Day, It’s made up of red, green and silver/gold items. I also wrap tinsel around the line to make it look seasonal .

If it's a nice day I'm going to have to do some washing and hang it out because I missed yesterday and I've got a bit of a pile up.

I'm self employed and have a lot of work to do so I'll also be in my office working.

Check which washing powder/liquid brand you use. If it has the royal warrant then it is probably okay. Otherwise, you are being incredibly disrespectful and should be punished.

Will be driving DC to uni. Only just found out they have a compulsory session of something on Tuesday.

I was being sarcastic. Oh dear… 😂🙄

There is a thread on here at the moment with the exact same question 😁

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I usually do the ironing on Mondays listening to old comedy shows on Radio4 extra.
They've bloody cancelled Kenneth(s) Horne & Williams - not bona.

The forecast here is nice tomorrow I'll be doing laundry and putting it out whilst I can and avoiding the dryer.

I am planning to get up super early though to do chores as I want to watch the funeral when it starts.

I may try and fit in taking dc out to the beach or walk in the morning. They don't cope well with being in all day!

Just had mine replaced. I wish you the very best of luck!

If anyone complains about the laundry, shout at them for disrespectfully looking away from their TV for a moment.

I’ll be hanging mine out multi coloured!
