Wanted: Ability to put socks in laundry basket

Unfortunately, as a man, I lack this ability. Try as I might, the never seem to go in. They either sit next to it, pushed out by an invisible force field, no matter how many times I throw them from across the room.


Apparently, even Magic Johnson, with his incredible abilities with an orange ball called Wilson still can't get his socks in the laundry basket. Balls, yes. Socks, no.


How do I disable this strange force that covers the top of the basket? My wife seems very good at it, although her socks are made from an almost invisible substance. Some of my clothes automatically find their way into the basket from the side of the bed and the bathroom floor but I've yet to discover how. But not socks. Even when I carefully balance them on the top, they seem to fall out.


I've even gone into Robert Dyas, but even JML don't have a device to solve this problem. I scoured the back pages of the Daily Mail, and while I now have a bath with a door, a large slipper for both feet and a sleeping bag with arms, I still don't have the ability to put socks in a laundry basket.


Please help as my wife is getting rather cross and has taken to putting a thousand cushions on the bed (so you can't get in it) in retaliation.

Oh, I can't do that! I might do it wrong. There is a special way of working the machine. I thought you bunged everything in together of similar colours or wash cycles, but apparently there is some baffling logic to how and what to group together based on special algorithms that even Google can't muster, along with special eco potions made from odd smelling liquids that bubble on the stove and large sack of bicarbonate of soda.


I do the dishwasher and another assorted dishes.

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.

      I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
