Oh girl can I relate! After years and years of lugging copious amounts of laundry to the laundry mat and spending gobs amount of money on overpriced and filthy laundry mats we finally moved into a house that had a washer/dryer hook up. Because I would only do laundry every two weeks at the mat, seeing as what a pain in the ass it was, often some laundry didn't get done as frequently, such as sheets, towels, and clothes that I only needed occasionally. So often all that would pile up and then I would have to spend hours at the mat. The first week that we got the washer and dryer I pulled out all the excess laundry and did it all. I also took the time to wash things that were clean, but needed refreshing too. I was so happy not to have to lug pounds of laundry anywhere. Now, I do my own personal laundry once a week. Towels, sheets and such are done on an as needed basis. I used to complain so much about doing laundry, now I just do it. The only thing that would make it better is if the washer and dryer were on the second floor where the bedrooms are, but there is no hook up and no where to put it. I'm not complaining though!

Congratulations on your new purchases. Enjoy!
