I haven't read the whole thread, sorry if I repeat what someone else has said...

Most of the time, yes it gets put away straight away. Although at the moment there is a metre high pile on the change table

when hanging it out I put what I can on coat hangers, which saves space on the line and time later on.

As I take it off the line I fold everything else into the basket. Then when I get it inside it only takes 5 mins to put everything away.

The only time this falls apart is when someone takes the washing in "for me"- in other words because they cant be bothered asking and waiting for me to do it (soo annoying!). Or if I'm rushing to get it in for some reason.
