Quote from: Mav We seem to have a big white machine in the bathroom Ooop's!! highly illegal

Actually this is the second property where we've had to place the washing machine in the bathroom. The first being a 1 bed flat and the only space was in the bathroom. A hole was drilled into the kitchen and the machine plugged into the mains there. All the plumbing for it was in the bathroom, anyway.
Where we are now there is a large cupboard in the bathroom which contains the boiler and all the plumbing for the Washing machine. There's plenty of room for it and works well with plenty of ventilation.

When I was a lad we bathed in the same room as the cooker (a Yorkshire Range). It was a galvanised steel bath.

Oh yes, till I was 8 we had one of those galvanised baths. It hung in the garden till required. Took many kettles of water to fill it. We, too, all bathed in the kitchen. Then we moved to a palace that had hot/cold running water, separate bathroom/toilet and I had my own bedroom with built-in wardrobe . I say palace, a three bed council house in Lewisham

The burning question is; when hanging socks on the washing line do you, hang by the toe or the heel?

Washing socks? What? Wear them once then throw them away.

At the least every six months...whether they need to be changed or not..

Noticed recently that some youngsters don't even appear to wear socks with their coloured plimsoles or training shoes.
I hang my socks by their tops, not by the toe or heel, it seems better for them to be the right way up.

Mine just go over the clothes horse in my front room.
So mine "rest" on their middles.

[#6]

I hang mine by the toes.
There is a guy living near by who suffers with OCD. He is meticulous when hanging his socks, sometimes rearranging them a number of times before he is satisfied.They must hang in their pairs and all adjusted to exactly the same length

Significantly less in this hot weather in my experience/opinion (though possibly longer in the winter as long as you don't have holes in your shoes letting water in).

what a waste...

.First week....wear them "normal side out"....... then... .. turn them inside out..... for the second week....  then change them "foot for foot " for the third week...  THEN... chuck em away !... 

[#9]

Same situation with under pants as regards turning them inside out..

[#10]

don't forget to recycle the used pants as a night cap in the winter as well

I cement them to the top of the garden wall. It keeps burglars out.

luckily I'm not old enough for that to work
