Jeans are not supposed to be washed til after something like 4/5 wears are they as they mould to your shape.....well I dont wash mine that often so thats my excuse and Im sticking to it!

Tops, vests, undies etc have to be washed after one wear I cant help it Im afraid. Dresses, cardis etc after a few wears.

And even though I am erm ample in that department I cannot wear a bra to bed!! Bras are instruments of torture at the best of times for me so I like feeling free when Im asleep lol I will probably regret that when Im 50 and they skim my ankles lol

The other day I put my clean skinny jeans on, made pancakes for breakfast and beat the batter a bit too enthusiastically, totally forgot I have an apron I made for things like that! Sponging didn't work so they had to go straight in the wash grrr...

Tsbao, I'm just too busy/lazy/tried really, plus laundry is expensive and clothes don't last as long, lots of excuses!
I also admit to sponging off dirty areas, like if I've spilled something a bit, babywipes are brilliant for doing that!

I think obsessive laundry and washing is very over-rated lol!

Se I love laundry. Its one of my favourite chores. I love the smell of it, the idea of it...I even like doing it, I hand wash a few times a week too, and love that! Its just the amounts of it. Having had a day off I've had both :eek: washing machines (one dog, one human) going all morning. Its ridiculously expensive to buy detergent which I kind of resent. I always use the cheapest value ones for the gods, but I spend more on ours because of scents, usually supermarket own, but not value ones. Sometimes I'm beguiled by others though. I've got to buy more washing stuff tomorrow

When Jasmine was a baby we used washable nappies for her and there was nothing better than seeing the airer outside with a load of pristine white terry nappies blowing away......







Ive think I have said too much lol

I cannot bear hanging out wet washing, or doing the ironing, or most laundry related chores

I do my mum's ironing because she pays me - she hates it even more than I do! I iron as little as possible of my own stuff though. Tedious job.
