In college, I had a friend who used the "sock test" to decide when it was time to do laundry. He used to stuff his dirty laundry under his bed. When he could no longer fit even one more dirty sock, then he knew it was time to do wash!

It seems that you have a similar system, JG.

If I went 10 weeks without doing laundry in this house, I can't imagine what it would be like. Considering that I do between 8 and 10 loads per week, Can you imagine the mountains and mounds I'd be dealing with???
