Blimey - Greg is a bit posh, he has tablecloths ... :P

I put the washing in before I go to work, but then I have to ring my son up and tell him to put it on the line as he's at home during the day - so he gets the fun bit, and I just get to bring it in when I get home :-(

I love towels that have dried on the line, they have that lovely rough texture, and are much more absorbent. Yes, alright, I'm sad.

I once hung out a load of washing and asked my son to bring it in later. Then I went out. He decided that rather than putting the job off and risking forgetting it, he'd do it as soon as I was gone. I hadn't explained about waiting till it was all dry ...

I put mine in before bedtime, set the timer and then hang it out before I leave for work.

I love being able to hang out sheets and duvet covers so they don't need ironing :-)

You do indeed, Jen. 'Specially well-intentioned autistic boys :)

(I really ought to teach him to hang the washing out *my* way, which is, of course, the only "right" way, too ;))

Think just enough time before it rain to hang mine out now. Nice.

I have to disagree re Lenored sheets. I like my sheets nice and crisp not all soft and fluffy.
