Swapping cups and plates.

I have two favourite mugs and so does Himself.
The plates all get used if the family comes over ...

We have too many mugs ?

I put clean ones at the bottom of the pile and take off the top the ones I'm going to use next.

It just happens in our house, I have a full size dishwasher, which, with only two of us, I use once every two days, which means most of the plates are used and in the machine anyway.

With towels etc. I have only two sets for kitchen and bathroom. One in use and one in the wash, plus a few extras for emergencies.

I rotate plates, bowls, towels, tea towels and knickers, but not mugs or glasses.

Makes a nice change to have a discussion about something which is completely trivial and has no right answers, isn't it?

No

Yes, I do rotate my plates

We rotate plates and bowls but have favourite mugs for tea, coffee and other hot drinks.

I do that as well, I also do it with towels, underwear and nighties.
A bit different with plates and pasta bowls, because all the everyday stuff is on a plate rack.
I do the same at work, even when it’s not necessary, new stuff always goes to the back.

I put newly washed tea towels at the bottom of the pile so that they all get equal use. Daft I suppose.

When I’m putting clean dishes away I do put the clean ones at the bottom and try to rotate mugs and glasses.

Good idea in theory, but in practice it is not so easy now to fetch out items from the back of a cupboard or the bottom of a heavy pile.
