How many times a day do you put your dishwasher on?

[Woui]

Just being nosey really as I've only just brought my very first dishwasher (no idea why i waited so long!).

Do you wait until it is totally full? How many times a day do you use it? Do you use the short or long circles?

Twice, sometimes 3 times if we have used a lot of pans for dinner, but we are a family of 10 so it gets full quickly
