House Rules

[beansbeans!]

No shoes in the house
Put things back after you are done using it.
dirty washing in the washing machine, unless there is clean washing in there
Put dirty dishes and cups in the dishwasher but only if the dishwasher is empty or has dirty things in it. If dishwasher is full please put it on.
everyone must make their beds in the mornings.
Close the door behind you, but not if someone else is following you through the door. A door in the face hurts.
