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

I got a photo message from DH last week, his feet without shoes up on his desk.. odd socks so obviously I have no system or at least one that works, I blamed him he put them on Now I am wondering why he had his shoes off at work

On the line in pairs, off the line in pairs.... love the coloured toes and heels that make it so easy to indulge my OCD

But you do get a medal for good sock sense, gorki! Life is too short to worry about such things.

Never really recovered from the shock.

I've got coat hangers with lots of pegs attached(Lakeland ) and it's really easy to take the socks off dry matching them up as you go. That does save time. We once stayed in a convent in Santiago de C .b and the nuns washed paired and IRONED DH's socks.

I actually peg them up on the line as they come and when dry throw them on relevant person's bed for them to put away. The only trouble is that DH and DS have some that look very similar so I give them all to DS and he throws back the ones that aren't his. Doesn't always work and some get inside duvet covers where they stay until the said covers are next used. I'm afraid I would not win any medals for efficiency !

Mine go in the tumble dryer and then get sorted when they are dry.

GS has worn odd socks as long as he could get away with it. Now a mature (?) twenty year old he says it's a statement.

I hang them higgle outdoors and in but pair them up as I take them off the indoor airer. Odds get shoved in the sock drawers to await their partners.

Until she grew up to be a high school kid, Minibags always wore odd socks so it didn't matter with hers.

Oh no - not the odd socks syndrome!

Could you explain in a little more detail please. It sounds a hybrid method.

Second method too but always end up with an odd sock or even two!

Well that's not higgledy-piggledy then is it?!

Higglydy-piggeldy but they have to be next to a matching one on the line.
