I don't schedule my washing past Monday being the day to wash the girls' bedsheets and towels. Depending on when I get started I'll do our bedsheets and towels too. If not then they're done Tuesday. THen it seems that the rest of the week it is rare if I don't do at least one load of washing. I split mine into whites and light colours, then dark colours. Dark jeans etc go in by themselves but fortunately with summer none of them are hitting the washing basket.

I would love a bigger machine. I seem to wash all the time and if I don't keep on top of it then I end up with a mountain I can't jump over of both washing and ironing. When DD3 comes along she wil be in cloth so that will be even more washing to do. I mix the girls' clothes in with ours now but have always kept baby stuff separate so I guess I will do that again this time. Maybe instead of buying a bigger washing machine Harvey Norman might have a washer woman on sale one day
