I've got one of these too
My kids call it 'the clothes monster'! 
I do at least 1 load of washing every day, sometimes 2. I think it's just the way it has to be Serren, sorry! 
At least we don't have to do the washing like they did back before electricity. Thank goodness for washing machines. Load it in, switch it on, take it out and dry it. Much better than it taking all day just to do one load.
