Random thoughts

I was pairing socks this morning and got to wondering how many hours, days, weeks I've spent doing this over the years. I had to stop myself going on to all the other trivial chores we all do. They could add up to longer than I've actually lived!

I often wonder about all the times ive spent worrying about things i cannot change. Wasted effort, Ironing is well up my list of waste of time chores, im naturally rumpled why fight fate.

Re: Random thoughts

where do all the odd ones go, when the 5 girls were at school by the end of the year we had three carrier bags of sox that just wouldn't match up

Re: Random thoughts

My son and daughter in law don't bother with such things as pairing socks, they say life is to short . They have a wicker hamper that all their socks go in to and they just grab a pair at random when needed. Consequently they share socks and rarely have a pair which match but are never left with odd ones

Re: Random thoughts

Do as my wife does Moira and bung 'em on the beds for the wearers to sort out.

Re: Random thoughts

They have a point there Meg - anything goes these days, you can wear odd socks, and no one would think any more on it ....

Re: Random thoughts

Especially if you wore odd gloves at the same time. Come to think of it, what about odd shoes as well, that would make a nice 'odd' outfit.

Re: Random thoughts

It's just over 2 years since my husband died and I THINK I've managed to get rid of all his socks now
