I need this today. (I need it everyday :O )
Set the timer for 5 mins, do something, then come back and tell us. Do another 5 mins every time you see this pop up!
I just did a clothes srt in the spare room.

got laundry switched around, put away the clean laundry, then realized if I'm going to call the apt to have maintenance come out and look at the dryer, I probably shouldn't have laundry running when they get here. :doh Well this gives me an opportunity to get the rest of the house picked up before they come in, I guess! I might just call and see if they can schedule someone to come in Mon or Tues when I am home. I also cleaned off the top of dh's dresser.
