    Well I have four children.The three older ones all come home filthy from school so have three uniforms a day,DD2 has bladder issues so can bring two changes of clothes a day home at times plus bedding and Pjs overnight.DD1 is tube fed at night in nappies and often leaks..more bedding,more PJs.Sicky 4 month old means changes for him,me and anyone else who holds him and everything in the general vicinty.Hubby has clean work clothes each day,walking the dog means mud..ummm.That adds up to a lot of washing lol :p xx
    Well I guess I'm one of those slummy mums happy to send my kids to school in grubby clothes. My son has three school jumpers and so if he covers them all in yoghurt, mud etc then he goes to school the next day covered in yoghurt, mud etc.

    I could never do that!!

    DD has clean uniform everyday and DD2 is in clean clothes everyday. So am I and so is DP.

    I put my washing machine on whenever I feel like it. If the kids are sick at 3am then the washing machine goes on

    It's driving me nuts having to use my drier at the minute. We have had non stop rain for 2 weeks! I dry as much as I can on the radiators but sometimes I had to use it!
    I'm never offended by debate & opinions. As a wise man called Voltaire once said, "I disagree with what you say, but will defend until death your right to say it."
    Mortgage is my only debt - Original mortgage - January 2008 = £88,400, March 2014 = £47,000 Chipping away slowly! Now saving to move.

    Because I don't want to buy 7 jumpers? :think:
    Anyway, you can get most of the yoghurt out with a damp cloth to stretch a jumper out for 3-4 days...

    I'm with you, it's very rare that you need to put clothes in to wash after only wearing once. :o

    I think it is a matter of showing your neighbours respect. No one likes to be woken up or keept awake at stupid hour in the night because your neighbour desides to wash/dry, vacume, DIY ect.

    Why would you need to buy 7 for a 5 day school week?Even with three jumpers and you doing the loads you say you do you must be able to have one spare clean one?There's a difference between a spot of something that wipes off or a jumper,as you put it "covered in yoghurt, mud etc." Each to their own and all that...... :)
