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!

As promised I am going to share my pegging rituals... I need to get it out in the open in the hope that I'm not the only weirdo

I use different pegs for different articles,
Socks and undies are pegged with simple but effective the old school style of peg, and if I run out I then use a plain blue soft touch peg.
Tshirts, stretchy tops and jeans are pegged with the newer soft touch pegs that are white with orange bits.
Shirts and sports kit are pegged with my newest pegs which are old school design but stronger and in two shades of purple.

When pegging a wash load out I start with undies and Paul's boxers on the inner rungs, moving outwards I then peg socks.

The next layer outwards are stretchy tops and Paul's tshirts.
Then go shirts on the next outer rungs, and finally jeans on the line furthest from the centre.

Occasionally If I'm not around Paul will hang the washing out and it's all wrong, I confess that I find it very difficult not to move everything to where it should be :)

Have I got a problem, or is it just the gypsy in me? ;)

'Melvyn' - where you run you fingers through your washing, you think it's damp but you're not sure. It could be dry. You leave out or take in? you've done a Melvyn'.
