Lacy? underwear? Do you mean the ones with more holes than material?

You should always puts pegs on seams, not NEXT to them as the seam is stronger than a single layer of fabric.

Never jam the pegs on, or if they are spring loaded, use the tightest setting. This will cause the fabric to fray during normal wind movement due to friction breaking down fibres in the fabric..

I love you, will you marry me?

Don't worry MSTRS, it's a girl thing - I do exactly the same as Yungatart.

Men just don't seem to understand the science of pegging laundry on the line...it must be done in such a manner that it maximises the drying, minimises the ironing, makes folding it a breeze, and avoids the dreadful mistake of having one's under garments on show to all and sundry who visit one's back yard.
For example, pair up the sox before hanging them on the line. Underwear gets hung at the back, if you have one of those pull out type lines, on the inside, as Jim2 says (your wife got a great catch, didn't she Jim?), if you have a rotary line. Towels and sheets do NOT get pegged corner to corner or all saggy - put some tension on them for goodness sake! And don't peg my shirts under the bloody sleeves.
Its hardly rocket science, boys!
RR - maybe we could start classes for these blokes - The Art of Laundry - Jim2 - you can be excused without a note from your mother - you obviously have the art of laundry sussed!

Where you went wrong is hanging up washing instead of going for a ride. You plonker.

OMG?! To think! I used to get on well with you, and now I find you know all about hanging washing and shit?

FAaarrrk, where did I go wrong?

I think you went right in that you have no need to learn that sort of shit since you've picked the correct place to live!

Went to hang out the 4th and last load (after she got home) only to notice that all previous hanging-out had been totally re-arranged on the line.
Where did I go wrong?
Bling for 'best' suggestions....

Did ya hang the knickers and bras on the outside lines of the washing line??? Good god man, the neighbours might see!

And you have to hang towels and bedding on the outer lines cos they're big and need room to flap and then you've got to make sure there's no gaps between the washing - come on man, there's 4 (FOUR!!) loads of washing to hang out. That's a lot you know...and if it's not all dry by the end of the day it'll have to come inside and good lord! then whatever will we do????????????????????????

(I parody myself so much in what I say it hurts to read it!

)

All the 'smalls' were hanging out of view (that is one instruction that I won't forget). To my eye (the one I can still see out of

) all was well, but no. I guess it IS women's work?? After all - BBQ's are a bloke's domain.

**apteryx_haasti** · 14th October 2006, 15:30

YOu didn't inadvertantly choose an order that spelled out a subliminal message to SWMBO did you?

Camisole-Overalls-Overshirt-Knickers....

**MSTRS:Me** · 14th October 2006, 15:44

You lot are all too serious today. Whatever happened to answers like....
The training hasn't taken. Suggest you put her through the course again.

i did that to a bra once...an honest mistake though! and then i couldnt work out why mum was laughing...on peg on the end, another between the cups and then the other end...there were several bras, so took a fair bit of room....
