right........I'm fed up with my washing machine going constantly..........I'm sure I'm causing an enviromental disaster just in my house...........
so I run 4 times a week and cross train.....................
OH runs 5 times a week.......
1 son has PE 3 times and plays hockey 5 times and runs twice.................
1 son PE 3 times a fortnight....hockey 2 a week and horserides
3 rd son just horserides...........
this just makes so much washing everyday before you start in the normal school uniform/ clothes/ sheets/ towels.
so how do people cope with constantly washing kit......
Maybe it would be better if we were all couch potatoes wearing the one set of clothes for the whole day

you do not need to wash kit after every use
Nick... you're required for laydeez friday amusement on the photo thread...
Don't worry we'll still respect you in the morning!!
I let the sweat dry and use it again
When it gets smelly and people notice, then I wash it
I re-use mine as well, hang it on a hanger to let it "air" and wear it again, no one notices or i run on my own!!!
LOL, OH wshes my stuff once a week no matter how many times it's used
Now that I'm biking as well, I have two sets for her to wash
I don't find sports it too bad - it generally dries pretty quickly.
Stuff like jeans, most school uniform, throws for the settees because we have dogs etc go in the dryer. Worse in Winter when the radiators are covered in clothes drying - not really a problem in Summer.
I wash my running kit when it can crawl to the washer itself. Usually get 2-3 runs out of it but I do run alone!
On the subject of washers... My machine's 20 years old (inherited it!) and last night it took ages to do its normal programme. Clothes came out warm (depite a cool rinse) so I reckon it's over-heating. And a couple of things have run, inlcuding my sports bra that's now sludgy mauve / grey colour. If it's the thermostat is it worth replacing? Mr S says it may be time for a new one.
Just about to say the same Shimmy Shimmy
mine only last a few years
popsider agree with worse in winter with radiators and banisters full of the stuff.don't use a tumble dryer.....
and agree about the stuff drying fairly quickly for sport but it seems to be neverending........
oooooh what's occuring?
tum tee tum......
Do you have the thing where there is always the same item in the bottom of the wash basket because it just wont fit in so you think, well, I dont need it at the mo, it can wait until the next wash.
Mr Shimms gets washed every time though as he stinks Being a laydee I smell of roses when I sweat.
