Right now I have most of it sitting on my couch waiting to get folded and more to be done.
With 6 kids and 2 adults, it's a never ending process. My weekends are laundry, laundry and MORE laundry.
|
|
|
|
| The never ending cycle of laundry. I try to run a full load everyday. Sort, Wash, Dry and put away. After avoiding it for 2 days, I have 2 loads on the floor in my bedroom begging to be put away. And 5 loads sitting on the floor in the laundry room.

Today...two loads wrinkled in baskets in the living room, one wrinkled in the dryer, and one in my room that IS folded...ready to be put in drawers! It's senseless to even try and count how many downstairs because that number could change by tonight...hopefully it won't though!
|
|
|
|
| I can't hang stuff outside. I have very severe allergies, including things like mold, ragweed, grass, certain trees, pollen, etc. No way am I intentionally going to let all of those allergens all over my clothing, sheets, towels, etc that go directly on my skin!
|
|
|
|
| My laundry is washed, dried, folded ( or hung)and put away. Even all the socks! The throws from the couches are folded and sitting on the dryer. Only thing dirty is what we wore yesterday. This is totally a first for me lol. We re-arranged our house this past weekend so all the laundry got done for a change. It feels pretty darn good to not having laundry staring me in the face screaming " do me, do me!"
|
|
|
|
| Ahhhhhh laundry the ever lasting cycle. Never ending.
|
|
|
|
| Yesterday was he first day over here (UK) that I've been able to hang the laundry out to dry. It was beautiful, a long line of white school shirts, gym shirts and tae kwon do outfits against a bright blue sky and birds singing. And then ironing straight from the line. It's true little things please little minds!

| I just wrote about this on one of my SparkTeam's boards... but if you have an exercise ball, fold your laundry while sitting on it. Especially big things like towels and sheets. It works your core muscles. Just thought I'd share that tip. An easy way to sneak in some stability work.

| My laundry? LOL! My basement looks like the dryer threw up! I don't know about anyone else but sorting socks to me is such a waste of time.
|

Right now I have a load that I just finished washing. But unfortunately our dryer has been broken for about a month so I have to go to the laundomat to dry it. I will probably take it later today to dry and then come home and fold it while I watch tv. My husband is working out of state right now so who knows when the dryer will get fixed. But at least I get some extra exercise lugging wet clothes to the laundromat.

| I hear you all over my bedroom floor,in baskets in the basement

CORPS9499, oh, the crutches-situation changes everything. Too bad about your H not helping out much, I know mine wouldn't either. Do you watch Wife Swap? I do sometimes, and I'm always amazed when I see those husbands that work full-time and then come home to help do chores around the house. I think the first time I saw that, I started drooling over the TV screen.

Marie - that's true, but when I was on crutches (and even now that I'm not but my ankle still isn't totally healed), it was a huge PITA. My H only did the bare minimum of laundry needed to keep us in clean underwear, so there were like 30 loads of laundry to get through when my ankle was healed enough to get down there and do some.
I'm almost caught up now, so that's good.

|
CORPS9499, I have my laundry room in the basement, too. On the plus side, think of all the calories burned from going up and down the stairs.

| On the bedroom floor, in a basket on top of the dryer, in the dryer, in the bag from this weekend, and I hope there's none getting smelly in the washer!
|
|
|
|
| Mine is in the basement and I hate it. Next house I buy will have main floor laundry.
|
|
|
|
| I don't mind doing the laundry... I usually plan to do it once a week, every Monday. (If need be I will sneak in a load during the week.) It makes for one whole of laundry but it all gets done (and hopefully folded and put away) to start off the week with full drawers. My laundry is in the basement so I use that as my exercise for the day, going up and down with all the loads. I also have started getting my older son to help, sometimes sorting the laundry and other times folding.

My daughter cleaned her room last night...I had five loads to do today, now I have 10! Her closet was waist-high! I have just folded one load, started the dryer, started the washer, and still cant see the floor from all the mountains of clothes. I will be done around midnight...provided I keep my ears open for the whistles and bells, and start new loads on time. And ohhhhh,yes...she is helping!

| My laundry is waiting to be washed and I have some waiting to be folded too. I hate the folding and putting away too. It's nice now that the kids are a little older. The oldest two put there own away and the little one trys. I don't really care at this point if it's right as long as they can find what they need when they need it. lol

| My problem is that I have no problem washing and drying clothes .... i just HATE folding and putting them away. I have like 4 laundry baskets that need folding right now. The thing that really agrevates me is when I finally do fold them and put them in my 4 year olds drawers... him and his 1 year old brother pull them out and throw them all over. I usually end up folding the same clothes atleast 3 times GRRRR

today i have a pile of clothes pilled up on my spwre bed folded, not put away yet, i have a basket full of clothes thats gota be hanged up, my laundry floor has a days washing ahead, my clothes line is 1/2 full of dry washing. i have a pile of sheets that need folding,
my linnen cubbed is full, need a bigger one. my builtin robe has fallen apart and chocker full, i need more storage i need help
|

Well I "thought" it was all done, but I turned around and it had recreated itself! I did 2 loads Sunday and I swear there are 2 more waiting...sigh.
I do love doing laundry, its peaceful to feel the warm clean clothes come fromthe dryer, and no one else bothers me whie I fold, sometimes putting it away is a challenge, as I have lost/gained sizes I tend to hold on to all the favorites and have no room in my dresser(s). I love clothes!!!!
I made a deal with my partner too, we change the sheets 2x a week, we both love the feel of fresh sheets, that doesn't make the laundryroom any less busy.
Cute topic, thanks

As of now, most of the constantly worn clothes, are on my bed waiting to be folded, and one load if light colors in the dryer that could be folded-but won't be tonight. I have to do this before I go to bed, and it is 10:55pm, and I just finished eliptical/weights!!! I have made my workout a priority, I must be crazy...
We have major problems with clothes, with stuff in the dressers that we don't want to get rid of, and all the clothes that we do wear all the time are in baskets after washing...
|

|
|
| i hate hanging out my washing on cold winter days my hands have turned to ice. and they take forever to dry grrrrrr
|
|
|
|
| Some of my laundry is in the washer/dryer, some in a basket, and some neatly folded on the couch. The socks are not folded, they are thrown in a basket. It drives my hubby crazy, but I hate doing socks. Of course, my teens laundry is somewhere in his room in various stages of clean and dirty.

I am the WORST about laundry! I have no problem doing the laundry - folding it and putting it away is a whole other issue.
My husband is a former Marine and is really good about it - it comes out of the dryer, gets folded, gets put away right away.
I am a bad influence on him, though because right now he has a stack of clean laundry on his dresser.
I have always said that if I had extra money I would not hire a cleaning person - just someone to do laundry!
|
|
|
|
| I don't think I will ever get to the end of the washing mountain - just when I get up to date I turn round and it piling up again. My hubby is one of those who never puts it in the basket - his is always in a heap next to basket. The clean washing is usually in a pile waiting to be put away - but at least its clean.

|
| well what can i say I HATE CLOTHES lol im bad bad bad.i let my clothes build up then i run out of clothes, i wash my clothes dont hang them out so i end up washing them again, i hang them out and forget to bring them in when dry, my bedroom floor has allways got clothes on the floor, at the moment my gues bed is full of clothes. when i fold up the clothes i dont allways put them away. what can i say IM BAD BAD BAD i need to pull my socks up, hubby needs to kick my arse,
