Magshard20, at last I’ve found someone who calls it a ‘maiden’, that’s exactly what I call it! I used to live in Cheshire and my mother always called it a maiden, but my grandmother from Derbyshire called it a clothes horse. Now we live in the south I find everyone calls it an airer! To me it’s still a maiden.
Anyway, back to the point, I always hang clothes out in a particular way, socks in pairs, other items all in their groups, if DH does hang out washing I also go and do it ‘properly’. I put all tins away in the cupboard labels facing out so we can read them, stack the dishwasher ‘properly’ and clean the kitchen ‘properly’. DH does lots of stuff in the house, but rarely ‘properly’ in my opinion , but he is a marvellous cook. I don’t stop him doing anything otherwise he may stop doing all the things he does and then I’d have to do them all myself!
