Laundry

[Niamh celtic mist]

I don't know about the rest of you..but, I hate to put laundry away...I don't mind washing it or drying it...I hate to put it away! Right now hubby does the laundry..but, I drive him nuts..cause I leave my clothes in the neat little piles he folds them in the laundry room..I could live out of a laundry basket and it wouldn't bother me...I look at it as wasted energy...Why put this stuff away..when I'm just gonna be wearing it again! :bug: Don't even ask me if I like to iron...my only consolation is that my clothes have more wrinkles then my face lol! :collapse:

[Etoile]

I'm doing my laundry right now!

I agree with you. I don't mind washing and folding, but I hate putting it away. I don't have a lot of room in my drawers or in my closet, so I'd much rather leave it in the basket than make space for it. I only have one basket, though, so that makes for another pile of dirty laundry on the floor.

[IvyWitch]

My washer is so small, that a large load for me is like a small load in a regular sized washer. So....when I do laundry I either have to fold it the second it come out of the dryer or the laundry workload gets backed up.

[BrigidMoon]

Don't mind washing OR folding. I HATE putting the damn things away!

[Ceres]

Don't mind washing OR folding. I HATE putting the damn things away!

i timed it and found out that if i put away each load as soon as i fold it, it takes two minutes or less to do! this makes it a lot easier. if it takes u longer, maye u need to get rid of the clothes u dont wear so there is more room.

[LadyTrinity]

I dont have an opinion either way. I do it. I dont hate it or love it. Its part of life. _travolta_

[Dio]

Hahaha!

My dirty clothes are on the floor, and the clean ones are in my laundry basket!

I am sooo lazy! :devil:

[Garnet]

I own little that needs to be ironed. If it does, I'll snatch it out of the dryer before the machine stops turning, give the clothes a shake, & hang it up on an old store rack next to the dryer...where it stays until I want to wear it. Everything else lives in the laundry basket until I want to wear it...or need to use the basket. I can't remeber the last time I used an iron.

[Gwenhwyfar]

lol, I dont mind washing and drying it but thats about as far as I go with it. My fuseball table is right beside the dryer and looks like an overflowing laundry basket.:T

[Marishae]

OMG!!! It is soooo good to know that I'm not the only one!!! =) I answered other. I don't love washing/drying my clothes - but I don't hate it either... I don't mind the washing/drying part... I do hate folding and ironing... Out of the dryer into the clothes basket they go! lol I don't like hanging them up and putting them away - I'm just going to wear them again! lol Drove my husband batty! I did start hanging some stuff up. I guess if I got all my clothes unpacked and the closets accessible, then maybe I'd put them away, but for now... dirty clothes are on the floor and clean clothes are in the basket! lol =)

[Ceres]

Kinda makes you wonder why people bother to own dressers than take up space in their bedrooms. Maybe someone should invent a dresser that is actually storage unit for clothes baskets so there is a place to put the basket when you arent rooting through it?

I'd buy One! Just think our dressers could become valuable antiques! Maybe even museum pieces!...My hubby is giving tme the evil eye on this idea lol! I'm just sooo glad I'm not alone!!! :uhhuhuh:

[MoonDragn]

I don't mind washing laundry, its lugging it 2 blocks to the laundry room at the apartment complex that sucks. I don't mind folding it either. My mom used to make me fold all of the laundry, including her underwear.. Theres just something you really don't wanna know about your mom's cup size LOL.

[enchancea]

I hate washing it, I hate drying it and I hate putting it away

[Wintersteel]

I hate every part of it.. Especially since I don't own my own washer and dryer.. using the ones in the complex stinks.. First off people are always hogging them, we have like 30 units in the complex, with three washers and three dryers.. You get people who leave their clothes in the washer for days.. or put things in the dryer and never come back for them.. I always ended up moving someones clothes everytime I do laundry.. I set a timer when I am doing laundry, for both the wash and dry cycles to be considerate to others.. I even had some clothes ruined, cause somebody washed some greasy, oil stained clothes in a washer.. I wonder if they used any soap?? :rant:

I never put my clothes away.. I just dress straight from the laundry basket.. :shhhh: _tsk_ :lol:

[Hærfest Leah]

Yeah that because the washer and drier does all the initial work. If we still had to go beat our clothes on rocks we'd never do laundry then. LOL I have a habit of after I fold it I put it back in the laundry basket so our daughter doesnt get to them. The basket goes in our room out of they way and kinda stays there. I never get them put away right away.

[Bec_W]

I never used to mind washing, but now that we live in a flat with a communal laundry I really do loathe it.

[Black RiverWolf]

my clean ones are in a basket and on the floor in the closet in drwers. i hate laundry but if i don't do it soon im going to workd Nekkid

[MoonDragn]

When I was little my mom used to do it by hand. I used to have to help her wring it out and hang it on the clothesline.

[Koehnae]

I love washing clothes.. love the smell of the soap and dryer sheets all through the house. But, I have to put it away... can I just have someone come and do the folding and putting away for me?

[Linx]

I don't mind washing it, but i hate folding, and putting it away, so now my son does that. $5 a week LOL. It is worth that for me not to have to mess with it. :)

[Gracie]

I love to wash, I love the smell of the fabric softener as it dries, and I love to feel the warm soft clothes. I HATE to put them away!

[soilsigh aingeal]

I hate laundry.

[QUEEN OF THE DAMNED]

I have an automatic washer so I dont mind washing, I just hate hanging it out and folding and putting away. Takes so much time. I refuse to iron, I hang up the clothes as soon as I get them in so I dont have to iron. I haven't ironed in 4 years :)

[lil_suzie]

I dont have an opinion either way. I do it. I dont hate it or love it. Its part of life. _travolta_
Uh huh thats how I feel to, its just another thing thats gotta
get done and I do it every day so its never a big chore at all
if you keep up with it.

[MAR]

Well, For me! I don't love it or hate it! It's something that I have to do, :rolleyes: but what I HATE is pairing the socks! :grrrrr:

[Faerwolf]

i like it when i have a washer and drier in the house, but i hate going to the laundry mat.

[PoisonIvy]

I really don't mind doing laundry at all seein' as how I'm a domestic diva and all! :bigblue:

[HorseCrow]

I don't mind washing (stuff it into the machine), but the folding/ironing is a waste of my time ;)

[nightstream]

I feel weeeeird... I LOVE laundry. I guess most of that love is in comparison to other household chores that I absolutely hate, like vacuuming (I hate hate hate the sound of vacuum cleaners), and I've learned to time a lot of my activities by my laundry. I know exactly how long it takes to wash a load and dry a load, and I use that to say "okay, I'll see if I can get my Chaucer homework done while this load dries" or "I'll only make myself study for one more rotation". It used to be a scheduled weekly activity until this semester (things have gotten a little haywire, and now I just have to find random blocks of time to do it in...).

[Bigboper123]

I like doing laundy especially since we got the new washer and dryer

[Karma Chameleon]

Yeah, I don't like putting things away either. I still have some clean stuff setting on my couch waiting to be put away. :T

[blueangel]

I used to love washing the clothes but I could never be bothered to hang them up until I reminded myself that I'll have to iron them if I don't hang them up quick! (See energy saving and I don't have to iron - my least favourite activity)

[Meadhbh]

I hate doing the laundry, thus I put it off till I'm fishing for things in my closet. It can be a sad, sad thing what I pull out of there. In all likelyhood due to the fact I haven't gone through my cloths in ages. I find things I forgot I had in the back of that thing.

[Gabriel Le Chat]

I feel weeeeird... I LOVE laundry.

*Whew* I was being to feel like a freak. I LOVE laundry too. Most of the time, I even look forward to it. Folding laundry is total zen moment - complete relaxation. The color, the texture, the smell, the purpose... I can't get enough.

OMG! I just thought of the title for my next book... "The Tao of Tide"

[Strega Del Vento]

I'm freaky because I LOVE doing laundry. I can't explain it really---maybe it's the smell of the freshly cleaned clothes, or the warmth of the clothes fresh from the dryer. It's something though.

Dishes I hate, but laundry I love.

[Yasmine Galenorn]

Laundry's a chore because all of my clothes, but not my husband's, have to be washed with a darks-only detergent, and most of mine--but not all--have to hang dry. My husband does most of the laundry though, or he'll get it started and then we'll both just sort of take care of it as it gets done. Wouldn't mind it if we had more spare time.

Yasmine :colorful:

[Evendusk]

For me the only part of laundry that is decent is the folding and putting away because it means that that particular chore is almost over. And I've always like pairing the socks and making that little inside-out bundle with them.

[bladeraven]

Laundry is great when someone else does it.

[EponaCapaill]

I don't mind washing so much, but because my dryer is broken I have to hang my clothes to dry. HATE that! Seriously slows down the process. Sadly, there is no hope of fixing the dryer, and I can't afford to buy a new unit right now. Folding is also not so bad, but putting it away? Just doesn't happen!

EponaCapaill

[magick186]

oh, i hate laundry period! :cool:

[spirit wind]

I hate laundry.
And said so well! :uhhuhuh:


Laundry?!?! :foh:

[Tom Bombadil]

Hmmm, washing is okay. Not much real labor involved. I LOVE drying though...because in this itty-bitty Kansas town I live in most houses still have clotheslines in the backyard, even though most people don't use them for anything other than linens and the occasional beach towel after swimming. I kind of started using the line under duress, since our landlady is totally AWOL and has no clue the washer and dryer we we're paying extra rent for are both rusted and busted, but now I'll never go back to a dryer, except maybe in the wintertime and only if we move to a larger house that has plenty of room for one. But never in spring, summer or fall! I love going outside in the sunshine and hearing the cardinals sing, the cats greeting me and playing hide and seek among the sheets, the sun shining down...and it's so much more effiecient, in terms of both time and energy. Hang...forget...bring in before dark...though, if you're stuck drying your clothes inside, I agree that's totally NOT COOL. I did it all through college to save quarters...it works, but it sucks.

Folding and putting away is alright too, until I get to the socks. Then it's suddenly time to play Unreal 2004. :toofless:


Ironing is only for sewing and job interviews. Otherwise you're anal.

[Copperaven]

yep have to agree with the hanging outside part

love to go out, there is a bunny family that lives near my clothes line and the nearby trees have lots of birds to sing to me

each of the dogs will come and visit for a minute, and if hubby is working outside I can watch the sun on his back while the muscles move, :hahugh: sorry this was about laundry :bigredblu

socks are the worst, that is why hubby gets only one type and color of sock (which he rarely wears anyway) so they all just get thrown in a "sock drawer" lol saves me tons of time

fresh clean bed linens right off the clothes line smell so good and can help you sleep better

[Jenne]

Putting it away sucks hardcore...washing and drying are a pain, but only particularly when I have stuff that can't go into the dryer. LOL

[Niamh celtic mist]

I must admit that there is nothing like the smell of sheets that have been hung outside on a summer day..it brings back an instant childhood memory that just warms my heart.

On the Flip side of this memory is remembering when I had to hang those sheets and clothes as a chore as a kid. We were a family of eight and that was alot of work. My mother never used the dryer in the summer and fall. I dreaded this! I can still hear her calling to go get the clothes in before the night air gets on them! It was always a lousy ending to perfect summer days.

This also makes me think of clothes pins. I used to hate the old ones that did not have the spring...they were never wide enough to hang the jeans! The spring ones were awful when they broke though..I can remember getting some pinched fingers!

[colusaskye]

I'm really good at washing.
I'm not too great at getting clothes out of the dryer, folding, and putting away.
I generally wear clothes straight out of the dryer.
If I'm going to shower and the clothes need to be ironed, I just hang them up on the shower curtain rod and the steam from my shower de-wrinkles.
But man, folding and putting away, that's just a pain.

[Crimson Mess]

I really hate doing laundry lol
my husband does it most of the time ^_^

[halfwaynowhere]

i hate doing laundry! i'm working on cleaning my room, its really bad, and there is a lot of laundry to do... i have too many clothes, they don't fit in my drawers, and even if they did, i can't get to my drawers because i have junk stacked in front of them... i don't mind starting a load, but i hate having to take stuff out of the dryer and put it away... and now my mom is accusing me of breaking the washing machine, so i'm not touching it anymore...

[AutumnWitchie]

Right now, I like doing the laundry except for putting it up. I just got a new washing machine so its like a new toy I guess. Give me a month and then the newness will wear off and I'll be back to clothes being tossed in baskets. lol

[Flar's Freyja]

Don't mind washing or folding at all. I hate putting the laundry away. There never seems to be enough room!

I don't iron unless absolutely necessary - I don't really hate it but I do hate getting the ironing board and iron out and then having to put them up.

[xstarE_nitex]

lol don't mind washing or drying... machine does most of that :)... but I hate!!! the folding and ironing part and then putting it all away... its so simple yet such a task...

[~Anamorata~]

I don't mind doing the laundry...it's just the folding and putting away, that gets on my nerves! :blech:

[frigga]

about all I like about laundry is to smell it hen it's all nice and clean! :tongueout Other than that, Hate it! :blech:

[SammieAnn]

I do not mind the washing and drying part I just hate to fold it and put it away

[Gypsy flower]

Hate Laundry!!! not so much doing it but folding and putting it away it takes to long, unfortunatly I have a bad habit of leaving it in the basket in the corner after its done rather then putting it right away!! so much funner things to do than that!!:dancy:

[Lunacie]

I enjoy washing and folding. I miss having a clothesline but they are not allowed in the park where I live now. But the clean things just don't seem to get put away. There they sit in the basket while the dirty laundry piles up on the closet floor instead of going into the basket to be washed. :lol:

[smckim]

My friend and I were just talking about this today, I didn't mind it when I had my own W/D but now that I live in an apartment, its off to the laundromat for me now...and yes I HATE IT NOW!!!:rant:

[Crystal Raven]

i got laundry beat...one "dirty laundry" basket for the entire house in the upstairs hall central to all bedrooms, I bring it down, wash it, dry it and sort it into piles by person...do a "laundry call" everyone comes, scoops their pile and dumps it in their bin (each person has a tupperware bin app 2' wide x 2' long x 3' high in their closet for everything but socks & underware (everyone has 1 smaller bin for these) and sunday best which is hung up. No fuss no muss, little work!!! :lol:

[Rowan Darkmoon]

I HATE putting it away!! Our dryer is broken so we do our washing and drying at the laundromat. Putting away six baskets of clothes after you've just washed clothes for three hours drives me crazy!! So, it sits around for awhile. :hahugh:

[Tanya]

I love it, and I'll tell you why. We have a top loading twin tub jobby that needs almost constant minding, transfering tub to spinner, and back to rinse water, then back to spin. We have a VERY tight water budget since all our water comes from the sky.. but here's why I like it... Everyone else HATES the job... its a perfect excuse to spend a rainy afternoon sitting on a lawn chair in our 3 walled laundry, watching it rain and reading a book and every ten minutes stand up, stretch, slap clothes here and there.. an NO ONE comes to see me.. no husband, no kids... maybe the dog hangs out.. maybe for once I get to be alone and drink a cup of tea and write some poetry

[Astara Seague]

I dont like to do it really but its pretty easy except for the folding and putting away
I make my kids do their own!
see how mean I am {well they are over 21}

[Kalika]

I hate it alll...... but I do it anyways. :p

[Hærfest Leah]

I'd like it better once we can get our laundry room more organized (which it was but somehow a tornado went thru it) and it stays clean and roomy.

[zede]

i voted other cause i don't mind the landry at all but i wouldn't say that i love it. i am alittle ocd with it though cause i do it almost every day. can't leave it go. i think it's because when i lived at home and for awhile after i moved out i had to go to the laundry mat and i hated it so now that i can do it i never want to have to do a ton of it at once ever again.

[CalisticSunrise]

I really don't mind washing and drying. Although at the moment my dryier in the new house doesn't have a plug. but i cannot seem to every want to put it away. and i dont even own an iron. i figure just get it alittle wet and throw it back in the dryer it'll be fine

[Ancient Wisdom]

I love washig my clothes! But i dont have a dryer so i have to hang it out in my back yard! Then when it's dry......It'll hang there forever.......

[Bluewillow]

I don't mind doing laundry. I used to actually enjoy hanging my clothing out on the line back at my mom's home in Oregon. lol Now my husband does the laundry, since I can't walk anymore (at least for now, until I have surgery). He doesn't mind doing laundry, but isn't so fond of ironing. lol

[Mysty Moon]

i hate folding a especially putting it away if i could get away with it i'd just dump it on the floor sometimes i do

[Zephyrstorm]

When I have a washer, dryer and space for laundry, I don't mind it much - but right now doing laundry means carting the clothes up a hill to machines that cost too much and don't work that well. So right now I'm kinda hating it.

[Marcasite]

HATE it. I don't think I'd mind so much except that we have to pay to do the laundry at $1.25/load. And our laundry facilities are seriously 'ghetto' as my neighbour puts it.
The washing machine is missing a chunk somewhere in the tubing so it leaks all the soapy water all over the floor after every load. What's even worse it that the floor isn't quite even. So the soapy water drains at a rate of 1mm/ week and the floor is perpetually slimey. The drier is even more fun. Not only does it dance around the laundry room as if in a perpetual seizure, it also has the habit of opening the door in the middle of the load. Does it stop? Nope. It tosses your clothes out all over the slimey floor while robbing you of $1.25. There's a cinderblock in the laundry room to shove up against the door, but it's too heavy for me...

[Duwayitheru]

Other. I dislike sorting through the basket of dried clothes. I don't hate it or anything, because that's the most I really get involed with it. Mostly my fiance does the laundry, while I do dishes and such.

[Flaire-FireStar]

oy. I hate laundry..... usually I'll get half way done and forget about it. :doh2:

[Lyrien]

I'm the freak, I love doing laundry. Love it love it! Folding, putting away, and everything. It is such a cathartic experience for me. I can see a huge pile of filth and transform it into something pristine and beautiful. Same is true for vacuuming, except now that we replaced the carpet with berber, I can't see the vacuum marks as I go along... that's depressing.

[Willow Rosette]

I dont mind the washing and drying since I have a washer/dryer in my apartment but I always wash and dry intill the first load comes out of the dryer and then I get backed up and dont put it away...dont take the load in the dryer out....or the load in the wash into the dryer. So I end up washing a load several times to get it into the dryer.

[Libris]

I love to wash clothes and hang them up to dry, but I HATE putting them away. I don't own many clothes that need to be ironed. I hang pants up by the cuffs so the wrinkles pull themselves out on the line.

[Brigid Rowan]

We have 5 kids. And that means almost 10 loads of laundry a week...oy...I am numb to it now.

[angle kitsune]

its okay I guess, i hate lugging a hamper up to the laundry mat, sitting there for two and a half hours (the dryers only dry about half way each time you use them) but I get some nice time to read when Billy is at work or at school. I never bother folding them, one of us will just mess it up looking for something anyway so we just stick it in the dresser and be done with it. its just a pain to get it to the laundry mat and back to the appartment. I would hate it if i bothered folding it or if Billy wanted it folded.
