I'm doing my laundry. Has to be done before things start crawling down to the cellar on their own. All my jeans are in the wash. 2 machine loads already with jeans and smalls. Should I do towels and sheets too and a piece of turquoise linen fabric that needs to be washed and pre-shrunk before being turned into something ... ?

lol .. has to be done 
.. decided to do sheets and towels as well 
which means I get my daily dose of exercise - 4 flights of stairs up and down x4 into the bowels of the earth ( no lift )

So it's a communal washroom? Do you have to book the room or are there enough machines for everyone?

Yes , the laundry room is for us all - 20 flats in our house. We book on a board in the main hall - 7am - 2 pm or 2pm - 9 pm .
There are two big laundrette type machines and one spin drier. The room is mouldy and smelly but the machines are clean. I spend as little time down there as possible. When one lot is done , I take it out , put another in and then take the damp clothes upstairs to dry . Jeans get hung up around the flat to dry, while smalls go into the tumble drier in the kitchen.
Usually no problem getting a laundry time as some people have small machines in their own bathrooms.

my kids were something for about an hour and then chuck it in the wash..Grrrrr!!

I know what you mean . When I had a washing machine in the flat, clothes would hardly every make it back to the cupboard. Now that I have to make the trip to the cellar 4 flights of stairs down with no lift , I save things up and wash less often.

One of life's necessities and when we do not have ready access to a washing machine and dryer, it is amazing how we conserve our energy and plan ahead.

so true .. awareness training 
I'm just grateful that I don't have to go down to the river to wash my clothes .
