When you have a lot of socks to wash and dry....

Hung outside higglety pigglety by the toes. Higglety pigs again indoors on the pulley. When dry, I toss them on the bed, black, navy blue and brown, no blooming pattern to help match them up so I inform DH his clean socks are upstairs ready for him to flype. I hate flyping and unflyping socks

I can't be a***d to hang them out in pairs. They get sorted when they're dry.

I also "CBA" Agus and Nina. My DH is so anal he does hang them in pairs.

a link for the non-Scottish amongst us

On Agus's behalf.

I will tell DH he can flype his own flyping socks in future.

I can't be bothered to hang out small items, so tumble dry them. When I do so for DD I always sort the washed items into clothing type and owners, also pairing the socks, before hanging on line. It makes sorting easier when dry. When I used to put away washed and dried terry nappies they were always folded into their kite shape first.

By the time baby number three came, they were just bundled into the drawer - no folding at all!

Thanks for the link J08 Should have thought about the translation bit. Anyhoo, when DH gets there, tell him to flype off some more!!

Even worse for me is unflyping the beggars for washing.

Just had a thought, if I didn't actually bother to unflype, would DH know the difference. Ha! Lightbulb moment.

I had never heard that word "flype" Thank you jo8 for the link to its meaning.
I pair socks up and hang them in the linen cupboard as it is warm there. Also drape underwear there to dry!!!!

They wouldn't dry very well if they were still flyped up.

I make Minibags unflype her own. I just fling them back in her room if they are too flypey to handle/wash.

She's being a slow learner about sock de-flyping

Does anybody care?

My DH is also a slow learner re de-flypeing.

I care about deflyping school tights! Big time!

I mean I care about NOT deflyping them.

Does anyone who doesn't care have to read it?

Nope.

I never have a lot of socks to wash or dry - I do my own personal washing and all household items, the others do their own washing. I hang socks up as they come out of the basket and pair them as I put them away.

What's deflyping?

Apologies for using a Scottish word which I should have realised not everyone would know. Just used it through habit as this is the term we use here.

Flype is when you pair socks together, unflyping is when you separate the pair.

I don't think we deflype in Fife

Very good point J08. and well thought out may I say. [Grin]

Bags I may try your method of throwing them back at him. Oh sorry, meant back in the room of course.

Och Gally. You Fifers just don't know you are actually flyping

Sorry Gally just read your post properly this time!! You don't deflype.

Dry higgledy piggledy, in drawer h p and sort when i want to wear but am presently training myself to wear h p. as well.
