Certainly my husband doesn't. I could bore him to sleep if I talked about this too much. But I am excited because I have just solved a laundry problem that has been bugging me for weeks- no, months.

I can get the silly stuff into the machine and onto the line or into the dryer fine and dandy. It's putting it away that is the killer for me at the moment.  I think perhaps because it was a two step job (at least) and I lead a half-step life right now, with two little girls who produce masses of laundry but can't contribute to any solution yet.

The difference is that, instead of sorting the traditional way into darks, lights, undies etc,  now I am getting everyone to use a separate basket for dirty laundry and then washing each person's laundry separately. Already sorted. This seems to be some sort of key. So, when it dries, I have a small amount of laundry that is already sorted and I can put it away straight away! 

Of course T1 and M2 can put theirs away. (And eventually they will be washing it as well.) I may experiment and wash theirs together and see if it still works.

I'm actually doing more work than I was because it was the boys' job to sort undies and household washing (such as tea towels and washcloths etc.) But it's taken me much less time to do them myself this way. I am still washing whites separately; I just pull them out as I put in a load.

The other thing is that I have counted everyone's underwear (OK, I know this is starting to get too much- even for me) and worked out that instead of washing everyone's clothes weekly we can squeak by with every eight or nine days, which should make life a bit easier, too. Everyone except the girls, of course, who run through their clothes at a fine old pace.
