absolutely. Although it is only because I am so pregnant. Before pregnancy, I was hanging most of the washing while Tom and Amelia did their spelling and the another load after tea each night.

Daniel won’t be here during the week starting February so I will probably take over hanging out our washing again then unless I can rope someone else into it. 😀

Hi Cathy, yes I did read all your posts on your blog. Beautiful, wonderful, convicting thoughts and images.

Yep, I hear you…we can’t always hang our washing out either as the line is not in the sun. How about putting a few drops of essential oils in the rinse water? I do that sometimes. I also like to read a website called Tipnut…great tips for households! An excellent entry with related posts for laundry can be found here: Quick Tips for Drying Laundry.

So Therese, did you get someone else to hang the washing out? 😉

Wow, that’s amazing that your hubby does the bed changing. Hey, maybe you could help Abba out with her drying issue?

any ideas ladies?

I am rearranging by routine this year, I am trying to do 2 loads every 2 days I used to do washing in one day a week but have found that as the kids get older and their clothes get bigger we do not FIT on the line anymore. So after the twin tub in Manila (I was frustrated out of my head with balancing the spinner AAAHHHHHHHHH) I relish my huge Maytag front loader, my mum swears it does not wash as well as a toploader or a twintub, but it is economic for my tribe……….

But you gals gotta see my entry on Pring a mother of 5 in Baseco and how they wash there and thank God for electricity and our fresh clean environment!!! It is amazing that mothers all over the world from different socio economic levels can relate when it comes to washing and keeping clean……but we have the easier life by far, imagine washing like this pregnant or sick, in the sticky humidity of the Philippines……we just have it so so easy!!! Thank God

My eldest is hanging in most days. We have about 3 loads a day. Two get hung in the morning and one at night.

Tomorrow he is going to Adelaide for a few days. I will have to rope someone else in to do it.

We only hang out the bedlinen, towels and teatowels, as we live very close to a dirt road, and we also have super friendly sparrows, so the rest of our washing is put onto clothes racks on coat hangers – makes for easier ironing, too, or onto clothes airers.

We only ever use the clothes drier during really wet winter months – cheaper and easier.

We have a Kleenmaid washing machine – similar to the large ones in the laundromats, and it gets everything super clean – better than the old twintub that I used to have, and so much easier. 😀

Have a great week,
Blessings,
Jillian
