Socks are sods for jumping ship so to speak. We have the same problem. I collect up my washing and once I have put it in the washing machine I always find a rogue sock that has jumped off along the way.
@onewing Thank your for your great comments Babs,it happens all the time in our house I'm currently grounded can't walk, drive and I'm struggling to sit at my computer, damaged my knee and have to keep it straight no bending until I see the orthopaedic surgeon on Tuesday, could then be out of action for a few months, OMG:)
