    Hi Mel,

    Havent read all the replies, but Yep i very often hang washing in the evening/night.
    Especially if it is a warm night it means that i will have a load that is dry to pull in fisrt thing in the morning. i also do a load at nigh, put it on just before bed or on the timer (though that has the tendency to wake MJ on a bad night) so that it is ready to hang out first thing.

    My clothes line is a retractable one on our back porch, so it doesnt matter so much if it rains, it means that i miss out on the direct sunlight, but i can get stuff dried earlier.

    The other thing i do (especially in winter when things take longer to dry) is dry a load inside on the rack and then other stuff draped/hung around the house.

    So NO i dont think that it is a bad idea!

    I hang my washing out in the evenings too and then the rest I have to time for when Lachlan goes down for his nap during the day.

    yes, it goes out late afternoon or evening time and gets brought in late evening or next morning. If naps havent finished drying I leave them on a clothes airer inside overnight and that usually is enough to finish them.
    We also have a constant pile of laundry ready to get folded and put away in the lounge...

    Its how I've always done it

    MIL tells me I'm crazy because of spiders etc, but I always fold the clothes before I put them away & to be honest I've never encountered anything nasty in all of the years I've been doing it

    And here I am thinking I'm the only one who looks like a crazy lady hanging clothes out at night... although I am usually doing it around midnight
