last time, i used some of those previously mentioned 'chav' laundry bags, but, for my 6 yr old, i packed a complete outfit into carrierbags, so she had one bag for each day. that way i could decide what she was going to wear, and she wouldnt get changed several times in a day! i could keep her stuff in her 'room' without it all being spread about everywhere.

this also meant that we had spare carrier bags for using as a bin!!

i also kept hold of some 'spares' lol. i will definately do this again!!

I used those checked bags for tent bags, as a couple of my tents will not go back in the orginal bag for love nor money. 

I used to use different holdalls for everysones clothes - but am slowly changing, especially for week long trips.  
I find those bags for life are great - or the supermarkets own shopping bags., as they are waterproof, so if they get moved off the picnic rug, onto the grass the clothes stay dry.
Socks and undies get put into the free carrier bags from supermarkets - keeps them together, and I can have a separate bag for each of us.   It is one of the few things where Pip and Alice have their own - as they are the same size most of the kids stuff will do both of them.
I have also found that using the on site laundrette mid week has helped me reduce the amount of clothing that I need to take.   Provided that I have one decent outfit if we go out anywhere, I am not bothered about the clothes being nicely ironed.   An hour in the play area and the kids look like street urchins anyway.

I also use the carrier a day for my little DS.  Its great, I usually pack shorts and trousers to match the T shirt along with his pants and socksand then a couple of extras loose just in case.  When we went away last August it was soooo wet, I did have to do washing in the middle of the week.  I take a couple of those big chav bags with towels and stuff in and then all the dirty washing gets stuffed in there as we go along.
