Does size matter?

[Cass72]

If I have lots of whites I will wash them separately (I have white bath towels so I'll just chuck them in with them). Other then that, I just do dark/ light loads. I generally wash DS1 and DSS clothes together - they are smelly teenage boys (haha) and they seem to generate enough between them for one load, sometimes two! I also like to wash DS2s clothes separately or with my smalls or with lighter stuff (not heavy things such as jeans, overalls etc).

If I split everything into smaller groups I would be defeating the purpose of getting a bigger machine and doing 4 or 5 loads instead of 1 or two. Besides which, I'm also a lazy-washerer. My mother was aghast when I chucked everything in together - for years I followed her old rules and would never have washed towels with clothes.We have enough clothesline space (two small pull-out ones) but are peg-poor! I need to buy more pegs.... where do they go? I'm sure someone has a stash of pegs hidden somewhere.....

FWIW our machine also has a sensor so it doesn't matter how little or much you put in, it only fills with enough water to do the load. Oh and the turbo spin also cuts down on drying time on the line.

Does anyone hang out there clothes in a particular order?

I've only recently stopped hanging things on the line according to colour, size and use....... this was a very big step for me. I would sit inside and try to block out my anxieity at the thought of mis-matched socks hanging side by side on the line next to a towel that clearly needed to be hung towards the back of the line. Eventually it worked and I can haphazardly pick out a peg and not care one whit what colour or type it is!
