To get to end of your washing basket!

Strip the beds and get the first load in before it gets too hot Grin

The one positive to very hot weather is how quickly my washing dries ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ my basket was heaving with bedding, towels and dh's work clothes yesterday, now it's virtually empty. The towels were dry in less than an hour! My last load is currently in the machine to be pegged out before it gets too hot. Making the most of it before the blessed rain starts on Wednesday.

Yeah!

The excitement is real. Basket empty, well it was till toddler poured cereal down herself.

Towels in. Beds later, at the moment all the throws and heavy blankets from sofas are on the line.

Dressing gowns next.

It's like Christmas for washing nuts!

Yep two loads out already, one in the machine and one left in the hamper. This weather has been glorious, I have done a load a day and been pretty much empty hamper status all week! Today's pile is from the teens cleaning their room yesterday. Sigh.

Oooh sofa throws... I forgot about them... they could do with a wash...

PuttingDownRoots · 18/07/2022 08:25

From living abroad... dont hamf it out this afternoon. It dries too quickly and goes hard!

I used to joke I could hang the washing out and take it in at the same time.

I washed 2 quilts yesterday. The light summer one fits in the washing machine but the heavier one had to be washed in the bath. We put the heavier quilt out still dripping and it was dry by the evening.

Ooh these are good washes. I've got the sofa blankets ready too. Thinking of doing pillows next

Completed it OP ๐Ÿ˜‰ - I got most of it done yesterday. Thought I might try and wash the summer duvet's today and/or the puppy's bedding but do question how my life is going when I consider how satisfying I find it all.

I've just got my second lot of the day out on the washing line! ๐Ÿ˜„

Dog blankets are in! I've even given her wellies and trainers a spin with the last load.

It's not good how happy I am about getting all my washing done.. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

DeadButDelicious · 18/07/2022 11:16

That should be DD's wellies and trainers. Not the dogs. The dog has no need for them. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@DeadButDelicious Grin sticking the shoes in is a great idea! You'll be on the curtains next ๐Ÿ˜†

It's the little things isn't it?
Hot weather is only any good for drying the washing as far as I'm concerned

TuftyMarmoset · 18/07/2022 13:39

Iโ€™ve put my washing line away to make space for the paddling pool ๐Ÿ˜ŽI got loads of washing done last week though, even washed the sofa cover!

I need the curtains to shield me from the blistering sun ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I am eying up the cushion covers though... the dog blankets were dry in less than half an hour...

notangelinajolie · 18/07/2022 13:45

Great weather for drying sheets. I also have an empty washing basket. Iโ€™ve washed and dried the lot today. Just need to wait for tonight when itโ€™s cooler to make the beds ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Think an afternoon floating on a lilo in the paddling pool Iโ€™ve just filled is beckoning ๐Ÿน๐Ÿ–
