Is there a Male person out there who can understand the Female of the species to know exactly what to get them for presents.
I don`t understand them full stop.
Just to let you know my wife does not look at these e-mails.
If man listens to ALL the nagging and mind messages there will be clues in there somewhere, trust me, we drop clues all year round, you just have to listen!

My father once bought my mother a garbage disposal for Christmas. She couldn't bear having the garbage in the kitchen for more than a few minutes after a meal, and it was his job to take it out on his way back to his chores immediately after eating, as he was going that way anyway. He was a farmer, so he had all of his meals at home. Dealing with the garbage made him feel slightly queasy. She was thrilled to be able to get the garbage out of her life immediately and he no longer felt ill. Two birds with one stone!

I have lost count of the times I have gone out with odd day socks on , someone bought me two lots socks with the days of the week printed on , sometimes I cannot be bothered to match them up which, if you get it wrong, you can guarantee that you will have odd socks on two days , even despite one of the two sets being different colours for each day . Even when matched I tend to just grab the first pair and so where them on the wrong day .
Mine even have a little logo which should be worn on the outer side - thus effectively one for the right foot, one for the left! Guess who usually ensures they are the correct way round as well as matching.
Of course, easier to match them up if stored in the pairs. Mine are paired as hung up to dry out of the washer: then taken down and rolled together - so never parted except actually in the wash.

I suppose better with all same single colour socks then it does not matter !

But even if start off same colour, often when washed they fade differentially thus will not match up after a while unless kept stricyly in pairs.
Anyway, can not wear same colour all the time -if have brown shoes would not want black socks for example, or brown socks with black shoes. Of course, I am remembering the standards of a former menswear sales assistant!

Need low temperature = 30 degrees, although on some old washing guidelines this is classed as a cold wash! My mother believed in boiling everything - the modern socks would end up suitable for a doll!The fool that do's my washing (me) seems to shrink them what ever colour they are!
Got some bamboo ones - theyshould be able to take a higher temperature?

Occasionally I use an airer frame overnight in the bathroom. Seems to work better!

The " Sock fairy "does not care about what you put in the washer! She takes one anyway!!
