Am I the only one who hates doing laundry?

Not even the washing part, but sorting everything beforehand... Lights, darks, towels, delicates… how do you guys actually do your laundry? Do you separate everything or just throw it all in and hope for the best lol

Bedding separately due to size but wash everything at 30-40 degrees as takes 30 mins then add in an additional 13min spin so it’s dryer to hang in garden or on doors now it’s colder - pearl clutchers at the ready :) ….. all adults in house now but did the same when kid was young …. Can’t remember the last time anyone in the house was ill

I don't do the separating bit much. We have one basket. On Sunday night or Mon morning I pull out the few lights/white for one separate wash and everything else is darks. I also wash towels and bedding separately but these never go into the basket, they just go straight from rail or bed to machine.

I loathe making up beds. I dread it and put it off, even though I know it takes less than 5 mins.
