Has struck again!!!!

Does anyone out there have this problem?
Is there a solution?
Am I the only one(probably not)?

In less than 24 hours of washing,drying and ironing every item that was stuffed in the laundry basket yesterday, I got home from work and the Phantom had filled it again.
This was by no half measures. The lid would not fit on and its a standard size basket.

This happens everyday in our house and sometimes twice a day.

Heeeelp

Teresa

haha i dont have that problem, but mam did when i lived at home haha

i only have to wash twice a week, x

There is only 4 of us!!!!

I think that it is the eldest offspring who wears a lot of clothes but always says she has nothing to wear in her wardrobe lol

Teresa x

i blame my brother, because when i iron for mam, he has more clothes than anyone put together lol,

Annie I have a 7 year gap between daughter and son so will be washing and ironing forever.

Might send the ironing to you Kitten lol

Teresa :)

haha x

Oooh tell me about it !!!!.It is ridiculous the amount I get.My daughter works in a hospital and wears her own clothes.She will only wear them once.Then she goes to the Gym every evening so that lot goes in the basket too.My son has been home from Uni and brought everything back with him.My iron packed up today as it was worn out lol......and the cost of washing products!!!!!!

well after 1 and 2 left home i sacked the sockfairy, didnt seem that many odd ones to find, now the linen, im lucky nat does her own no one irons if they do they do there own, no more school shirts etc xx

Please don't mention the odd socks!!!!!!!!!!!I have a pile of them.All my sons.
If I can't pair them up in the next week they are going in the bin !!!!

lol jane if you do that the other half of socks will turn up xx

They will end up in the bin too then lol.

ha at last im not alone! on saturday i emptied bathroom linen basket, which was full up, emptied daughters basket from her bathroom and lifted clothes from sons bedroom. did 5 loads, hung it out, dried and ironed and put away all by eve.it was a good sunny day with a breeze perfect for laundry.
so how is it when i go to bed on sat night my basket is also full back up.

my two are 13 and 15. they are at school and when then come home change completely. if they have a bath before bed, more clean underwear and pjs. it never ends.
at least when they leave school, i will be minus 10 polo shirts, 6 sweatshirts, 4 pairs trousers and 10 pairs socks!!!!

There are only 2 of us if his washing ain't in the wash bin it don't get done, if my ironing isn't on the ironing pile he won't do it. Odd socks he has all black the same style, I have a few different in the winter it is down to me to keep them paired.
Simple really (for us)

Damn must put my shorts with his shirts to be ironed. !!

When I went through my sons washing that he brought back from Uni,I found a bra,a couple of scimpy pants ,and a top sixe 8.No he's not a cross dresser....it was his girlfriends lol

lol Jane I used to visit my Dad in France and their 'treasure' got used to finding odd clothes in their ironing and used to just put them in my room even if she hadn't seen me there. and I was long left home then....well I did that at the age of ..nooo just lets say I actually still did it 6yrs ago.
I hate ironing sorry

Your phantom linen basket filler visits my house too.I have at least one load a day,and there are only two of us,oh,and four cats.

I also have a phantom kitchen sink filler,everytime I go in the kitchen there is another bowl full of mucky pots.

Before I go to bed,I wash all the pots in sight,and tidy round. Yet when I come down in the morning there are more pots to wash.

Perhaps the cats party all night.

Tell me about it got rid of 5 kids the gained grandson now son as come back home after 15yrs it never goes away

I moved house everytime one left home, not much room in this here tent!! lol

Oh for a linen basket filler in our house. T'would be wonderful.

My lot just decorate the bedroom floors with their dirties and expect me to pick it all up after them, no matter how much I protest - and that includes hubby.

To get round to my side of the bed I have to climb uphill and downdale at times.

Nooo Dianne...
If it's not in the bin, don't wash it.
They won't like it, but they'll learn !

Only 3 of us at home now, but I often add grandson's school shirts at a weekend, if I'm doing a white load.

I like to wash bold colours separately.. Why do mine discover the bright red top, AFTER I've just washed a load of similar colours.?
