    Just waiting for my nesting to kick in. I can feel it coming. Last night i had the urge to scrub the kitchen floor.

    Because my laundry is tiny and the door has to be closed at all times i forget that i have things to be hung out. Out of sight out of mind sort of thing.

    DF does most of the washing here... *hides*

    All I usually have to do is stick it in the washing machine.

    Ok so i am not the greatest with housework but maybe you could try a few things to either remember the washing or work out a better system?

    1. Ask Mr I Need Some Clothes to do washing 1 day a week
    2. Have set days for washing?
    3. Buy a timer - set it for a little longer than a load takes, pop it in a central room so you can hear it and it reminds you to hang the washing out.
    4. Remind yourself how expensive replacing ruined clothes can be - i left something in the wash once just overnight and it was ruined, no matter how much i washed it and i felt horrid.. now even though i sometimes forget i try to remember to atleast open the lid etc when a load is finished or put it in the basket to go out.
