sock stress!!

savingsgirl

I confess, I am a hoarder. However I am trying my best to change. My problem is I have a huuuge box of odd socks. Every few weeks I match what I can but always have loads left. My ex never wanted me to chuck them but now we have split I am tempted to bin the lot - socks are not expensive!! Should I do it. Please help!!

I had an old boss who purposely wore odd socks! Made me laugh every day.:rotfl:

If there's anything I know I won't use, I ebay it or chuck it out. I'm not a believer in keeping things 'just in case'.

Chuck them -they drive you mad ! and old socks feel horrible.

have a pairing up session and then chuck any that are left over.

The little blighters breed anyway so you will soon have a fresh batch of odd socks to deal with:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I tend to do three things with old odd socks.

1. use them as dusters or cleaning rags.

2. give them to the children so they can make something, like sock puppets.

3. bin them.

Bin them! I have a tendency to keep the mismatched socks, waiting forlornly for the stray ones to turn up. Then every now and again I chuck them out, surprisingly great feeling of liberation! [Though i do sometimes miss the satisfaction of uniting the long lost pair :rolleyes: ]

Use them for cleaning, or wear odd socks under boots.

If you have too many to use for cleaning and can't bear to throw them all at once, you could do it gradually...but I bet you you'd feel loads better if you chuck them all straight in the bin

cut the toes off and sew them into a long sausage, then fill with other odd socks (and the toe bits) and you've a draught excluder. sadly i did this to prove i could find a use for a very large box of odd socks i'd accumulated.

You could used them to make soft toys. Like this. Or you could just bin them.

Flog them on e-bay - you'd be surprised what people will buy out there. Make if fun, tell them this is where washing machines sending them when they've swallowed them.
