Anyone else have drawers / clothes cupboards that are badly organised?!
I meant to start as I go on when we moved. So. Unpacked things gradually but somehow my clothes are still for the most part squished and shoved into any old drawero_O:oops: How hard can it be to keep socks in pairs in one neat drawer?! Atm I have t shirts bundled in with jumpers and jeans squeezed in between. Please tell me I am not alone?! Going to tackle it at some point. Maybe I just need more drawers / cupboards??

Not me.... I am one sad individual, all my clothes are neatly sorted, wardrobe by work/everyday clothes all by colour ranging from black through to white. My knickers are sorted into tiny/not so tiny/and big pants, my bra's in colour order and my socks in lightweight to chunky order! LOL I sound like a freak don't I? To be very honest, most of my clothes don't see much action and if you could see my horsey clothes they are just sorted into summer/winter and that's it.

This is how I aim to end up! Lol I just need to stick at it in one day and get it done......

Hehehe love the idea of drawer dividers....I know, I just need to get the rest done....
 
You are not alone! No matter how hard I try to keep things in an orderly fashion it never works out. And I have a load of hangers with nothing on them too.

Now I need more hangers....In my wisdom I chucked loads out before packing to move....
 
In my defence I struggle to get everything washed and dried - and it seems to take me a whole week really to get to the bottom of the washing basket..... But then it all begins again!
So I just shove things into drawers whenever....
 
My clothes are orderly but with doing 12+ hour days for work, it means washing mad for my days off which is a pain! It also means that ironing stock piles!

I have found though that by having separate washing bags (colours, socks, darks, whites, jeans, towels) I can just grab a bag and stick it in much easier than trying to sort it from one bag/basket and definitely saves time. I can also see when I have enough for a wash load and I can text OH to wash the red bag/grey bag etc!!!!! Nice and easy!!!
