	My OH does that too JustGinnie, and I always have to check his pockets of his trousers for loose change, bits of paper, handkerchiefs, the list goes on. my son always manages to end up with odd socks, don't know how they get lost form his room to the wash basket!

	To Valerie, re the shirts. Many years ago when we hadn't been married that long, I got fed up of finding shirts with the sleeves rolled up. In the end I cut the sleeves off three shirts, to make a point. I hasten to add that I did make a professional job but didn't discuss my solution prior to chopping them off. The result was he hardly ever bought another shirt with long sleeves......perhaps thats why we live a mile apart now...lol......jl

	My OH receives his back exactly the way they were put in the wash....can't say as I've ever noticed if he's been wearing them inside out.....will have to have a look later ...x

	Mine has to sort his own washed, dried socks out, most of them are the same style/ design/colour for work ones so easy to do, he does it while he sits and watches tv I don't make myself a slave to his laundry, if he wants his boxers ironed he can do them himself otherwise wears them unironed which is most of the time! He does annoy me by not unrolling the tops of his socks, which seem to curl as he removes them from his feet! Lizx

	Don't turn them back the right way - he will do that himself the next time he wears them - just settle for them being the right way only 50% of the time!!

	I let mine sort his own socks out.

	...have to admit, I bought some socks from M& S in Street, with 'L' and 'R' on the bottom. I have to match them up!

	No Jill - could not see that working with OH , he would not even notice, would put them on and that would irritate me even more!!!!!

	You don't have to turn them back the right way - just leave them inside out and match them up as normal (if you must). They soon learn. LOL Jill

	Why do men nearly always take their socks off inside out and then when they are washed and dry I have to turn them round before I can match and roll up.
