why are plastic clothes pegs so rubbish?

[zzxxee]

they dont seem to last five mins before they snap
nothing is built to last anymore

my pegs are green, blue, yellow, and red..and I never hang an item with matching pegs......maybe thats why the fekkers have nearly had my eye out on numerous occasions when they snap....hmmmmm...:-((

i've had 3 loaves squished into one bag and me eggs delivered in a separate bag but with tins of dog food along side 'em grrrrrrrrr

methinks i'll pack my own and get a taxi home :D

Nahh, it's because you buy them from Lidl!! :P

Eggs and bread go in the same bag al, leave nothing to chance as far as they're concerned, they might fall out the top of the bag!

I too can not watch the carnage of the 'helpful' bag packers in the shops... I actually watched one of them attempt to put a bottle of fizzy water on top of my doritos, and then he put two glass jars in the same bag. I mean, who trains these guys?!

(PS: Peg marks on shirts are eliminated by the use of a hanger, just hang them on the line, not clothes pegs at all).

CD- has a point, I never realised how weird I was about hanging washing out either.

I have two lines, one I seem to use specfically for Mini Boo's clothes, I use the reasoning that its because this is near the wall and her stuff's too small to flap against, and get dirty from the said wall, but I think there might be a psychological (read mad) thing going on.

The other line holds everything else, however I do like to see clothes going down in descending order. For example, smalls 1st ,then ranging in size until the largest say a bath towel is last.

And yes, I have different colour pegs, however the same colour pegs have to be on one item.

Ye God's, re- reading my post is making me think I may need help!

[China Doll]

If I don't need help then you don't either Boo. That is exactly how laundry should be hung out.

And proud baby, and proud!

pmsl...weirdo's....in this lovely climate....(ahem)......just be grateful you get to hang anything out.... :-))

[Booo]

Haha yeah Joby, you do have a point. I washed a rug this morning and after heaving the thing out on the line- no mean feat I can tell you, it weighed a ton, it promptly peed it down half hour later.

I've left the rug on the line in disgust. The damn line will probably snap now under the weight :-(

[joby1]

or ya rug will go mouldy... :-o

Bring it in...beat it round the fireplace...then stick it on a radiator...you know ya want to......... ;-p
