Sock It To Me!

I have completely outdone myself and I don’t know whether to be proud of it or embarrassed.

You see I decided to spend a proportion of my day sorting out my odd sock bags . . yes I have more than one bag. 

I went for the world record of sock pairing and matched up 164 pairs and I’m not done yet.  Can anyone beat that?  Would anyone admit to it?

I still have about a hundred lonely socks (very conservative estimate, it’s probably much higher than that).   

To be fair many need to go to the textile recycling bins as they either have loose elastic, they’re really worn out or they’ve lost their colour (especially the black ones). 

I’ve been amazed by the number of different colour black socks I have.  You think you’ve got a pair but they just won’t match up.  I am particular you know!

These socks have been littering my bedroom and I got fed up of the children constantly whining "we’ve got no socks". 

So now I have floor space back in my bedroom and no nagging from the kids!
