Babylicious Report post Posted September 10, 2008 it's always the same isn't it? and mainly the other one never turns up. I think there's a sock monster in each house Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted September 10, 2008 I have a basket og 23 odd socks. Still hoping the other halfs will turn up. How sad is that!! You might find This Thread useful from post number 36 onwards... Failing that, I think someone posted in 'quirks' about their child only wearing odd socks - you could perhaps arrange a deal with them. And for the future, I seem to remember Kathryn knows a thing or two (or should that be a pair...) about methods of holding socks together in the washing machine. Or, just buy all the socks the same, then you'll always have a pair (but don't get me started on this one because I can tell the difference even if they look the same).

Tally Report post Posted September 10, 2008 The way to find the lost sock is to throw away the odd one you have in your basket. Then the other one will turn up, guaranteed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flora Report post Posted September 10, 2008 The way to find the lost sock is to throw away the odd one you have in your basket. Then the other one will turn up, guaranteed! Gosh, yes that does happen doesn't it? Without fail. I wonder if there's a way of pretending to throw out the odd sock and trick the missing one into thinking it's safe to come back Flo' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane Report post Posted September 10, 2008 I have had a missing sock come back today. It must have known it was being talked about. Only another 22 to find! It is my son on the quirks thread who wears odd socks. My NT daughter does also. As for me I like a matching pair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flora Report post Posted September 11, 2008 Warren, I did the same thing as you with my boys socks. Went out and put a huge batch of identical pairs in black. Trouble is, with washing etc, they are now all different shades of black and I still find myself spending time matching them.... you can't win!!!

Kathryn Report post Posted September 11, 2008 And for the future, I seem to remember Kathryn knows a thing or two (or should that be a pair...) about methods of holding socks together in the washing machine. Little plastic feet thingies with two holes in to poke the socks through. They stay united right through the wash until you put them away. Couldn't live without them. They get lost and broken eventually but some helpful person on the forum told me where I might find more. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
