Laundry

[MickeyLumbo]

while you're at work, Gus Gus does my laundry. sometimes we play cards, naked, while waiting for the spin cycle to finish.

oh, by the way, i think i am wearing a pair of your briefs now.

I hate doing laundry.

I will let dirty clothes build up in my closet for a month or more.

Then I do it. Realize I don't hate doing it at all and tell myself that I'll do it once a week because having less to do is a better way to live.

Then I forget I don't mind doing laundry.

Rinse. Repeat.

Dry cleaning? Months may go by. Then I'll finally take it in and it'll cost me $100.

There were times in New York where I'd buy an entire new outfit for work rather than do laundry on a Sunday evening.

I run out of underwear. I go commando. I prefer commando anyway. Unless I'm wearing wool pants. That gives me rug burn in sensitive areas. If I *have* to wear underwear, and I'm out of a clean pair, I'll wear the bottoms to my swim suit.

Yup, I've said that here before, actually.

Sometimes I'll do a hand wash in the sink, just for a pair of panties.

I miss college. I used to send my laundry out to be cleaned. They came back fluffed and folded, and smelling really, really nice.

Hooray for Fluff and Fold!............Funny the stuff we could "afford" to do in College when we had no money that we can't "afford" to do now when we do

mmmmmmmmm, boot camp memories, like the first day or two when I first got there, before they issued us our uniforms, they issued us sneakers, sweats, and a swimsuit, the swimsuit was used as skivies under the sweatsuit.....not that this has anything to do with laundry, its just 1am, and it brought back memories.......I'll stop derailing this now.

I am all for this. Used to send out just work shirts but if I could pay somebody to wash everything.....

How often I do laundry is driven by the need for undies. Since I only wear those about 2 or 3 times a week I don't do a lot of laundry.

I confess (I know, wrong thread) that I've done the "buy new clothes to avoid washing the dirty ones" trick too.

Bwahahaha!! Laundry!

I do laundry every day, usually more than one load a day and on Wednesdays, I do TONS of laundry. Somehow, even with daily maintenance, I'm always behind.

I rarely fold laundry...my husband usually does it on Thursday nights during Survivor and on Sunday nights during Arrested Development.

I will put Chloe and Cassidy's laundry away, but I refuse to put anyone else's away, including my own. WTF is up with that? I don't know. I guess I figure Courtney's ten and can do her own....and yet I'm thirty-one and won't do mine.....

I've bought whole new outfits, including underwear and socks, to avoid doing laundry.

David does his own laundry. I refuse to ente his bathroom and pick it up off the floor. Nickolas & I share a hamper that we never seem to use. The clean laundry will end up on the couch for a few days waiting to be folded. Since Nickolas is 100% pure boy I have to his wash quite a bit. When I do his if I have something that needs to be washed I will toss it in. Right now I have a big pile in the garage waiting to get washed, all smelling like campfire smoke from their camping trip. The stuff I had on when I took Boy up there reeks too, even though I only stayed for 30 mins.

I must confess I bought The Boy new jeans and socks just so I wouldn't have to do it as often.

I try to get my laundry done once a week. Out of habit Sunday afternoon/evening is my 'nesting' time. Time for laundry, cleaning the kitchen and making sure all the stuff that I've left around the house during the week is put away. Somehow it just makes me feel better knowing everything is in it's place. (I'm also one of those people who likes to make her bed).

[Baileykat]

At least one load of laundry gets done everyday...when you have one kid who plays baseball...and one who either has tumbling class or cheer practice almost everyday...it tends to pile up on you! So there's at least one load going thru daily....

Add to this that hubby travels alot....I totally 'love' when he brings home his laundry for the week....and just dumps it off in front of the washer!


Last week I tried to be on "vacation" with the kids...meaning I didn't do any laundry!

I'm paying for that this week!
