    Have just gone back to check my washing machine to see if the load was finished and realised the flippin liquid capsule is still sitting on the side....instead of in the machine where it was supposed to be.

    One load of rinsed washing is almost done.... *****INSERT ROLL EYES SMILIE!!!******

    As long as it wasn't too soiled before you put the wash on, it may be fine :)

    Uniform Washer
    My freshly 'rinsed' washing is done - there was nothing majorly dirty in there so Im taking your word for it and hoping its ok. :)

    Have had my meeting with the football guy and got all the files for the welfare officers role and found myself agreeing to help with the registrations too... If they dont have anyone to do it, then the kids cant register and the club couldnt exist.

    Anyway - really really MUST pack now!!!

    ETA: glad you had a nice nap Toots, but sorry it spoiled your afternoon. Hope you feel better for it at least x

    that's the ONLY complaint I have about Flylady

    the lists lack certain key details...

    obviously everything needs to be on the list

    Piggers *face blue*

    you forgot to tell us to BREATHE

    ooo tax credits have renewed
    *kerching*

    I can afford MORE shoes
