Washing up, bad for your hands, just load it in a machine - or even better get someone else to load it while your 'busy' on the computer.

I refuse to add up the amount of time that I spend researching family tree information (lets just say too much), I am suppose to be studying (for uni) when I'm at the computer my eldest son keeps giving out to me about it, my mother asked him if I was doing all my homework, he told her "no she keeps getting sucked into family history" .... little snitch  ;)

Let's just say the house is mucky, the garden is a mess, the ironing basket has overflowed, the cupboards are empty......and I don't give a ****!
