Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ive got an anti crease option on mine :) It blasts steam for 10 mins at the end of the cycle. I sometimes stick my head in there for a facial :)

I'm surprised your so bashful about your "smalls" Jock. If the neighbours don't like the garish color of them, tell them to put some sunglasses on.

As there's only Mrs12bar & I at home now, we don't have a tumble drier. In the winter, we put our washing on the clothes horse around the coal fire.

I let it all hang out!

Jealous of your good weather guys, too cold and showery here. Plus I am back working full time and I'm not organised enough yet. Still at the shattered stage.

I would be deliberately buying massive Bridget Jones pants and ginormous bras just to hang on the line as a permanent feature if my neighbours said anything about my underwear :)

Celebrated exterior house painting with a new, green washing 'rope' - strung out in a triangle and loaded with miscellaneous leisure, running and other necessities.

Look at that. 10:30 this morning & a solitary cloud in the sky. Lovely day for hanging out the washing.

Lovely David, although some of the pegging leaves a lot to be desired unfortunately.

T-shirts should always be hung from the bottom not the top. But great pic and nice garden. Its a bit chilly here in Berkshire today. Not sure of drying capabilities. Will get my load out later . fingers crossed. :)

Arrgghhhhh, I knew you’d pick me up on something Jock. Though if you do look carefully, you’ll see I have followed your previous advice & hung my “smalls” up on the inside of the clothes line. Away from prying eyes.
