[RubySlippers]

you should take towels and bedding to the local laundrette for a service wash as that makes a big difference ...

ohg od no parkign driving hassle
haev taekn diuvet to be dry cleaned tho

[bozza]

It took me four days but that was because I was working (arrived home unfed at 7pm on Monday and was in the office at 8am on Tuesday) so could only line dry one load a day until the Friday when I don't work. But I did wash on holiday. But still had all the ironing to do, which was also completed by the Friday.

my dryer cant keep up

[portonovo]

We caught up with the washing/drying within one day (it continued to be fine and dry once we were back, so everything dried outside), then the ironing took another day.

ONE DAY?? how many kids?

[MrsSpoon]

Usually takes me three/four days, we don't have a dryer so it would depend on the weather, if raining then that could be extended to a week.

Where have you been?

[MrsSpoon]

Although should add last few holidays have been to a place with a washing machine which is fantastic, I just shove a load on every day when we are there and bring back at least one case of clean washing ready to iron.

About a week. The house looked like a bomb had dropped.

Now that summer (summer?) is finally over just threw all (washed) summer clothes and towels in bags and hurled them up into the loft. Can iron that lot next year.

Am still tripping over the suitcases in the kitchen.

Am NEVER AGAIN coming back from holiday and going back to work the very next day!!

[TinyGang]

9 big loads after a week away.

Just got through it all then we went away again for another week.

Each time the pile was so big it had it's own base camp, sherpa and snow cap.

last hol I went on they had a laundry service so I just gave them all of our stuff and came home with clean clothes in the suitcase.

I bloody LOATHE washing.

[NomDePlumeIsIrrationallyAngry]

0 days.

Family of 5, 1 week holiday

Bedding was changed and washed the day before we went and we had a washing machine (and dryer, although didn't use it) at the house we rented. One wash a day was plenty to freshen up all our bits and bobs and the stuff dried in about an hour.

[MrsSpoon]

V nice Cod, that explains the "la" in your name then!

[bozza]

The reason it took me so long was because I was straight back to work and line dried the lot. Would have taken longer if it had rained.

[ComeOVeneer]

None. We got back from a 2.5 week holiday yesterday. We hired towels and bed linen, and I did laundry there whilst in the rented house and this weekend we stayed in a hotel (wedding) and had the laundry service do it, so just the clothes we travelled back in (bliss).

[Mercy]

We got back on Saturday having been away for a week - and I only finally unpacked the kids bag yesterday!

Two loads done, 1 more to go until I've caught up.

(and then there's the ironing to do.........eventually)

[portonovo]

Three kids here. We got home just before teatime, shoved the first wash out. Did another wash that evening and hung both washes out overnight. Next day did the rest of the washing and dried it outside. Then took another day to catch up on the ironing.

We often have a washing machine in the cottages we rent, but I've never felt the need to use one yet.

[BecauseImWorthIt]

Had a washing machine and dryer in our house in France (rented - we don't own one!) so came back with mostly clean stuff.

And then I'm blessed with (?!) a DH who takes responsbility for all the unpacking, putting away and washing and drying.

[KTeePee]

Took over a week because the weather was so bad here when we got back - too cold to get things dry outside and my dryer is no good to dry from totally wet...
