Sorting Out Those Washing Day Blues...

To save time and energy when hanging out the washing, I have come up with the following system which I find works really well:

I hang each persons washing on a separate section of the hills hoist. For example, all my son's washing goes on one side, my daughters on another etc. The same with towels and sheets
When it comes time to bring the washing in, I fold the washing from one section of the hills hoist at a time, and place them into separate baskets (ie use one basket for my son, one for my daughter, one for my husband and I, one for towels etc)
Once the washing is folded and in separate baskets, it is easier to put away as each basket goes to the appropriate room which saves having to sort everything out again once the washing makes it inside.

I no longer dread washing day as I find this method has halved the amount of time I spend doing the washing as I am no longer double handling everything. 

It has made life so much simpler and leaves me with more time to do the things I would much rather be doing... like spending quality time with my family!
