    Kitchen and dining room huh?

    *sticks blu-tack over webcam lens* - that's QUITE ENOUGH PEEKING NATTY!

    seriously - any room in the house would be awarded PIT status. I've started watching Extreme Hoarders just to make me feel better! :rotfl:

    Thanks for the thread. I am in. Washing on line (yes; even more) and all ironing up to date and airing in front of sunny open window.

    Holiday list jobs complete

    - 1 - hanging loop on jacket repaired (one of those chain link ones).

    Welcome newbies; welcome back errant flyers!

    Quick query; do you put anything in your WM and DW when you do a clean cycle? Do you just run them on empty with detergent?

    Sorry if this is a daft question, there will probably be many more to come :(

    Some Flyladies use white vinegar; some use household soda - I use soda in the WM. What do you teach? Welcome to the thread BTW

    HHC at 11 ANYONE?

    Not detergent. There are various options, one being scoop of soda crystals in the drum and vinegar in the rinse aid part. Run on hottest setting. Some use bleach. DW I use one of the cleaners (buy when on special offer) but you can use Soda crystals.

    2/3 done in DS3 room but we are now on a break.

    Thank you everyone!

    I think I need to improve the contents of my cleaning cupboard! The only thing I have out of those is bleach :( Do you just pour bleach into the drum of the WM?

    Also think I'm going to do a supermarket trip later for cleaning supplies. Can anyone suggest what I should have as a bare minimum?

    I'm a biology teacher :)

    Thank you
