from, 'Secrets of the Royal Servants' [channel 5]- how do you like your undies folded?

Marianne72

I was going to respond to the 'what are you currently watching' thread, but there's a bit of weekend fun here. 'Secrets of the Royal Servants' [channel 5] is not on playback but should be soon. This docu was tamer than I hoped, but two facts about King Charles were revealed: how he likes his Valet to fold his socks and underpants. 

I like to fold my knickers in half [gusset up toward waistband], then left to centre line, then right to centre line, leaving a square shape. Socks are flattened [if recalcitrant, a rubber hammer helps!] then folded in half, toe to ankle. Does your spouse do this small task or do you? How do you like yours folded, if at all? If you could afford it, would you employ someone to fold your underwear?

  • Boxers are folded first into three with fly in middle, and then folded in half the other way. Stacked in groups.

    Socks are paired, folded into three and put away vertically (hem down), arranged by colour group for easy selection.

    I picked it up from Marie Kondo and it worked so I stuck with it.

    I find it soothing and mindful. I can appreciate the items and check them over for wear.

    So no, with thanks for the offer, to the helper, paid or voluntary, on this task.
