    Dusty - huge hugs and prayers for you and your family. Even though it's probably for the best, these things are never easy. You are in my thoughts x

    Thanks Valli. I forgot i'd posted that question last year! I must confess to having a bit of a matching peg obsession :o Do you run a matching peg therapy group?

    Emily - We are assimilating them flyladies subtly. Triker's proving mighty tricky though.MANTRA - MATCH YOUR PEGS MATCH YOUR PEGS unmatched pegs are the work of the devil
    TRY HIGHLIGHTING THE GAPS ;)
    Phil - I NEED an electrician. Well my house does - it needs a rewire - but my ideal life partner (were I looking) would need to be brainy so you're in with a chance if Mrs Phil runs off with the milkman :rotfl:

    RE the peg thing.

    SOME people have questioned why there is the need for wooden pegs. Both Dusty and I (at least) subscribe to the wooden peg philosophy. There are three main reasons, I think:

    1) Because they are made from a natural material as opposed to a man made plastic
    2) If the peg pings apart whilst you're hanging something up, you don't need to scurry around the garden finding the two halves - you know they'll naturally biodegrade eventually.
    3) They are all the same colour

    I personally have never found they leave marks on clothing. I have a little wicker basket which I keep my pegs in and they live there, together, in harmony with one another. Not a bug or an insect in sight!
