    Aww, it's great that you're not arguing. Can DH make a habit of checking his pockets before putting stuff in the wash-bin? I've convinced Mr LW to do this, as with lupus brainfog I cannot be relied upon to remember - I've "laundered" a £5 note before now (came out OK and was subsequently spent) and also a piece of paper with what looked like the remains of an email address written on - that one we shall never know as it was all but illegible and Mr LW couldn't remember who gave it to him.:D

    Well I dont wash anything thats not in the basket, and he swears he didnt put them in and that I must have picked them up from wherever they were and washed them...but I wouldnt have done that!!!

  • A bit of a rough day for me today what with some unexpected form filling but I've got the downstairs toilet room done. I'm off to do the upstairs toilet room, bath room and shower room in a minute when I've got the children a fruit snack.

    Motivation and the will to do this is lacking today but plod on I must.
