Pegging the washing on the line.

This conversation came up between my sister and I recently about our little special procedures in pegging out the washing, and it seems we are very similar.  Firstly we start with the undies closer ro the centre of the Hills hoist and then come out further with bigger items. Sheets are always on he outside line, probably because it is longer and can take the width of a queen size sheet.

Then there is the positioning of the pegs, undies must have two pegs on the top not one peg in the crutch (takes longer to dry). I don't peg t-shirts by the shoulders.

The work uniform tops that don't need ironing can be hung out on hangers, quick and easy to put away.

I also separate his and hers. I can hear you say, this takes too long but you save time when you take them off the line and fold as you go into his and hers.

My daughters have not heeded my advice, one doesn't use pegs at all, so on a windy day she has a few problems. The other one likes the one peg crutch style and 'whatever lands out of the basket into the hand approach'.

It seems the style of 'pegging out' is not going to be passed from mother to daughter, so who knows what style may develop over the generations. When it comes down to it, as long as the washing is dry, does it matter?

Do you have any special little ways of pegging out the washing or do you use a clothes dryer instead?
