Answer me this

Girl washing day. 
  • Sort the coloureds from the whites. 
  • Wash the coloureds and whites separately
  • Wash the coloureds at 40 degrees, using a scoop of washing powder and a dose of fabric softener. 
  • Wash the whites at 60 degree, using a scoop of wasing powder, a dose of fabric soften and some white booster. 
  • Get the washing out on the line or on the drying rack as soon as humanly possible. 
  • Bring in the clothes from the line as soon as they are dry.
  • Sort the ironables from the non-ironables. 
  • Put away said clothes. 
  • Iron the ironables - this includes duvet covers and pillowcases. 
  • Feel a sense of pride
Boys washing day: 
  • Throw all items in the washing machine
  • Do not sort the whites from the coloureds
  • Set the washing machine just as you're going out. 
  • Leave the wet washing in the machine for two days
  • Hang out the washing on the clothesline without re-washing. 
  • Leave the clothes on the line for at least 48 hours
  • Decide, on taking the clothes in from the line that they don't smell that good. 
  • Throw out the clothes and buy new ones
  • Or put them in the machine again and start the process over. 
I just don't get how people can wash their clothes, then leave them in the machine to fester, or leave them on the line for days on end.

I just don't get it. 

Or maybe I'm just my mother's daughter, forever obsessed with having clean clothes and always having the fear that I'll run out of clean knickers.
