    I flippin HATE drying pots and putting them away.

    I understand scientific studies have proven that it is more hygienic to let pots drip and air dry on the drainer than wipe them with a cloth. Leave 'em a couple of hours and then just put them away ;)

    Ok. The Person. I have to say this and I am sorry if it offends anyone but I feel as though we were lied to and I hate liars with a passion. I see many many things in shades of grey but as for lying and stealing that is def black and white. I am furious that the lovely wonderful caring flyladies concerned were caught up in all this and I think in my own way I wanted you to take a step back and not emotionally exhaust yourselves. There was something that made me think "hang on a mo....." but thought I was being a toxic person for even thinking it.

    So I hope you can understand me posting this - I had to get it off my chest as I feel so protective about you all!

    Hugs n kisses

    1 step I think a lot of us had similar thoughts and reactions to you so don't beat yourself up about it or they will have won.

    Am sat here reading the last of last week's thread and keeping an eye here, it ain't 'alf confuzzeling! tabs open left right and centre :rotfl:
