Sticking your finger in your mouth to see which way the wind is blowing so you know which way to hang the sheets so they billow the right way.

I have a washing line but Fred does the washing and has it in the tumble dryer before I can suggest it might well goon the line.

I did make him try to use the washing line but did relent because it was very tiring for him to hold his hand up to the line while trying to do the pegs with his one hand!

Sharron, there's nowt like getting a good billow on your sheets - a very satisfying sight.

Have to confess to having a bit of a "thing" about clothes pegs - I have to root through the pegbag to find pegs that match what they're pegging, I tip the pegpag onto the floor until I find the right colour. If Mr C hangs the washing out I have to go out and redo it when he's not looking (do I have a problem?)

Never had, and probably never will have, a tumble dryer - love the clothesline.

When it's too wet to hang out then the clothes horse comes out in one of the spare bedrooms. Used to love the wooden folding clothes horse - made a great tent with a blanket over it.

I use a clothes line. Also use the tumble dryer (when necessary). I also have a clothes horse (in the spare room) for things that shouldn't go into the tumble dryer.

We have a "wet season" here in summer....... hot & steamy; can't use the clothesline, and if things are left on a clothes horse they can/will go mouldy.

I never leave pegs on the line...... messy..... and the birds would steal them!

I peg things up in groups, so it's easier to put things away.

I don't do what my mother did....... match the clothespegs colour to the clothes (sorry Marie lol)

We lived outside Oz for years, in apartments, nowhere to hang washing......... when we got back, the first night in our own bed, we both said "what's that funny smell?".......... it was the smell of freshly laundered sheets, dried outside! So much nicer than any fabric softener.
