I'm so organised I don't wear socks!

Well, not very often... and we have a basket of 'smalls' on top of the washer where all small things are put. This gets cleared out when a) no-one can find any socks and b) when it overflows down the back of the machine. We call it Soxfam.

Les Barker wrote a wonderful poem about odd socks in 'Get a dog and Barker yourself'.

Buying many identical pairs doesn't work. The trick is to get the most different socks you can find, so that nothing is similar. Or just wear odd socks a lot.
