    I bet you hadn't even noticed that your favourite jumper looks more like a dress these days. Everyones been too polite to say anything though.

    Geez Ozzie, I bet your wife has already suggested many ideas for you! do you listen? Or maybe because your the one doing it she stays out of it completely? I think we need to import some Aussie men here to the US!

    carla:

    Mrs Ozzie hasn't done the laundry since we exited the borg. We sure changed our life around, eh?

    But we have our jobs to do and Mrs Ozzie is very busy with her business so I'm happy.

    But I still get ******** about those clothes hangers!!

    Okay, I can't believe I'm answering this domestic advice post, nor do I believe I am answering with such a grandma answer, but here goes:

    Snip discarded pantyhose into thin strips across, which makes stretchy rings, like big soft rubber bands.

    Grab several hangers into a neat stack and have put the stretchy ring you've made over the hooks. Pull the stretchy ring under and thru the hangars open space, and then pop the ring up over the hook parts AGAIN but now from the other side. Dang, it's so hard to describe such a simple, easy thing. This makes a very happy little package of hangars that can be thrown to the floor of the closet without tangling.

    Hope this was understandable, if I had an illustration, you'd just say, "OH!"

    Ikea is usually good for that kind of thing I hear.

    I like to use the plastic ones; they don't tangle so easily.

    Ever try that new invention - the clothe's dryer w/different settings for delicates too?

    Take stuff out quickly and hang up right away.

    This thread had me LOL. Can you believe any of us spend this much time thinking about hangers?

    I get rid of the wire ones, and break just as many plastic. Finally bought the new "space age" bags that you stuff and use your vaccum cleaner to pull the air out. They work great but weigh a ton and now that the seasons have changed I have all those bags to go through......and I assume iron and hang everything in them without enough hangers.

    There has got to be a better way!

    Oz,

    Twink has got what they call a vacum bag, She puts all the clean clothes inside then sucks out all the air with a vacum cleaner this keeps the clothes clean & tidy and minimises space
