I usually do mine all in 1 day (or 2 if there’s more in the week for some reason)

Stockpiler. Saturday is laundry and house cleaning day. Unless I take off on Friday then one or the other gets done that day. It’s great to have a scheduled day until that day gets interupted with something else. Then I have 2 weeks of laundry to do the next week! I, too, fold it all and put it up all at once. I fold on my kitchen island and table. It makes me clean my kitchen before the first load is dry.

Total stockpiler. I enjoy pretending it doesn’t exist. But I wish I could get in the habit of doing it daily, because I am usually tired of all the clothes by the time everything is folded and then it takes a couple of days to put it away. I always thought it would be so nice to have just one or two loads to put away.

Total stockpiler here. Sadly though I fall short when it comes to putting the laundry away, and it generally sits in laundry baskets for the majority of the week.

I am definatly a stockpiler. I do the exact same thing that you do, I save it all for one day when I can do laundry, homework and general house cleaning. The picture of the bed filled with folded laundry looks all to familiar. I fold it all and then put it all away at once instead of making many trips to the towel closet and to my daughters room, this way there is only one trip to each. I also don’t let my husband anywhere near the laundry because he doesn’t do it in the same order that I do (sheets, whites, lights, darks). I know this seems a little OCD, but I have always had to do my laundry in this order for as long as I can remember. This way the clothes are hung up in the closet and put away in the same order and everything is easy to find. And you though you were crazy…

I’m a total stock piler.

I wash on Monday’s, and fold on Tuesdays. Unless I have something better to do. Than I fold when there isn’t any more room on the couch!

I do all of my laundry on Monday. I just want to get it over with and put away. I still have to do a few loads during the rest of the week,towels and stuff, but I don’t have to spend time dealing with a mountain of laundry.

I so want to be a distributor, but I always, inevitably, end up being a stockpiler. I’ll go for a few days doing a load a day, and then, subconsciously I think I should be rewarded with a day off for all of the effort I put in. You know, a kind of “pat on the back for a job well done.” Except I don’t just take one day — I take three or four. And then, the laundry is overflowing again. So, I go back to the marathon laundry day.

I always wait till my day off to all my laundry…
When I was younger and laundry was my chore, I had to do it every day.
It was a never ending cycle. (still is for 12 people)

I’ve tried the one or two loads a day way and have found that I tend to be more of an ‘open the washer to find load of damp clothes that were washed days ago so run the washer again and come back 2 days later to realize that the clothes still never made it into the dryer’ kind of a gal. Sigh. If I could ever actually get caught up on laundry, I’d be thrilled. :)
