I just went in to hysterics!!! When you said "I used the power wash.." I thought to myself "Hmm I didn't know you could do that." About that time you opened the dishwasher and I laughed out loud! 😍
Oh, Margaret, I feel for you. I am your age; packed up, repaired, painted, cleaned our home of 42 years and felt all your emotions and stress. It took a year to get everything in place, including a new septic field which required tear down of trees we planted and deck we built. When that happened, I knew I could never drive by and see what the new owners change. It's funny (not the ha ha kind) how we shift into a new perspective and look instead to the beautiful changes ahead. We're 7 minutes from our son and family and have been on standby to lend a hand with their babies since the oldest was 2. It was the best decision we ever made. Congratulations on listening and taking action on what feeds your soul. Word of advice: brace yourself for the years of activity ahead, and get all the rest you can!
You're doing good! I was thinking in my past life I did so many moves that I never had the spring clean I just moved out clean my house and moved on to another clean house, but now I've been in this house 41 years that would be another story I would imagine when the time comes for me to move from this one and it'll be my kids clearing it out cuz I went to heaven😊 by the way all of that story is in my a glimpse of my life on my UA-cam channel LOL❤ hope your move is great and God bless you
The check should be handed to you at the settlement table with your realtor and the new sellers and their realtor! That is so strange about this transaction!!!
Your sense of humour is one of your greatest strengths and blessings..for yourself and for us who love being your u tube buddies❤ should call you bubbles? lol 😊
Oh my gosh, I’m sorry but I laughed out loud when you shared your dishwasher dilemma! I can tell you’re done and ready to get the heck out of there! I’ve been in my house for 32 years and don’t plan to move any time soon, (hopefully never),😊😊. I’m looking forward to seeing your new home, good luck with the cats!
Hahaha - Rule of thumb when preparing to move - Keep a laundry basket or box full of cleaning items/soaps/paper towels, trash bags, etc. in the house you are leaving so you have stuff to clean with. Take the basket/box in your car to the "new" house when you are totally out of the "old" house. Also put toilet paper, and other essentials in the basket as well. Never saw a kitty play fitch. So cute.
Ok, chickadee… regarding spilling your coffee… I have a little trick for you. I know of this bc I have had kitties my whole life and this is something that mostly targets their little mistakes. It works by eating away the enzymes that are what create the odor and cleans by default. I also use it on spills, etc bc it's a handy quick-grab, all in one kind of thing. You can play around with whatever measurements you want but the concoction combination is: Blue Dawn liquid dish soap Baking Soda Peroxide Hot water Mix up in a spray bottle (sprayer may need clearing at times from any possible clog from the Baking Soda), mix /shake up. Then just spray on areas needed. For urine, spray, leave on for a few mins. If need be spray again or wipe clean. If on carpet you can just vacuum it (baking soda may still have some consistency if not used in a spray bottle). The peroxide mixes with the baking soda to eat through enzymes and Dawn breaks down any oils while all giving a clean scent. I sware by it. I've used this for decades and it works every time. In this case, in the future you could spray your pillow right away...then it can be like a pretreated spray before using the washing machine. It's just a great quick grab when something happens. 😉👌
From the Amana website! Stop the dishwasher immediately. Cancel the wash cycle. ... Remove dishes from the dishwasher. Add ¼ c of vegetable or other cooking oil to the bottom of the dishwasher. Run a Quick Cycle with no detergent or dishes. If suds are still present, repeat the above steps.
Margaret you gave me a good laugh today with that dishwasher. I did tear up when you said how long you had been there. Time to make memories in a new place. Get some rest.
I can count on you to give me a laugh. When I saw the soap suds coming out of your dishwasher I laughed so hard. Then when you were telling about going to bed at 5 and didn’t take your teeth out I laughed so hard again. I sure miss you the days you don’t log. You will be so happy and relieved when you drive down the road Tuesday. ❤️
6:11 Have a rest for a while as you are so exhausted you’re not thinking straight and everything you seem to do ends up needing a redo. Maybe just sit at the top of the stairs outside. I can understand why you’re exhausted but it will end. And what an ending it will be.🎉🎉🎉
Maybe start putting treats in the carrier to get Parker used to going in and out of it. Or maybe play throwing her mouse in there... you would have to be quick fastening it up again though. My husband and I were staying in a swanky hotel with an en-suite jaccuzzi bath. I chucked in some nice bubble bath and started it up. 2 mins later, the suds were halfway up the walls of the room. We were hysterically laughing and used every towel in the place to clean it up. So much for our romantic evening :-) The bathroom was beautiful and clean though.
I am doing the same. Moving from a house I lived in for 35 yesrs. You will be relieved!! I was worried to, but the memories goes with you doesn't stay with the house. Your just leaving a home you have cleaned and toiled over a million times. A new easier life ahead!!!🎉
End of an era for sure! I'm sure you will have many mixed feelings when you leave. Onward and upward! I hope you get to have a few days of me time and take care of yourself. Exhaustion has a way of bringing us down when we least expect it and normally when we think we've conquered the tasks!
I just had a thought listening to your mussings.How many of us that live alone talk to ourselves (or animals) as we go along with out day? That is actually what you and others on UA-cam are doing....except you have an audience LOL. In my 59 years if marriage we moved 3 times and each one brought joy and sadness. Our last two were out of state so we left behind family and long time friends.This is my last home until the nursing home or the end. It is all bittersweet.
Hi, Margaret! By this time next week, you'll be all moved and probably have everything organized and put away. You're almost there! Putting the kitties in the bathroom while the movers are there is a good idea. Make sure all the movers know to NOT open the bathroom door under any circumstances. Put their carriers in there with them. With any luck, they'll go inside them. Oh my goodness, what a sudsy mess. I see several rounds of bailing and rinsing in store for you today. I can't help myself. I had to laugh. Have a good weekend, Margaret! See you next time!
Hi,I didn’t laugh because I used a small amount of Dawn in my dishwasher before. The same thing happened.My husband thought I was just scrubbing our floor. Now Margaret that should make you laugh.I am 62.You are doing a lot.Please get some rest.Thanks for sharing!
Make sure you rest up because when your tired things just don't seem to go smooth! Like spoiling tea on your pillow things will come together to you good luck
Hope all goes well...get some rest and once you get in your new home (with all the work THAT involves) you'll think about how you feel about all aspects of this move. I sympathize with trying to move cats. We once had to throw a blanket over one of ours until he wrapped himself in it and we were able to put him in a basket and drive to our new house which was only about 10 minutes away. They are difficult for sure!!!
Omg Margaret! I sympathise with you ... Moving sucks I did same 2 months ago ... Sold &downsized the throwing out &clutter massive migrane. Also the Agent that I sold with here in In AU request a move out professional clean apparently it's the norm here...The seller also did 1 for me as well . I don't think with everything packed I would have managed the move out clean costed $250 AU and that was for a 2 bedroom apartment..pls take it slow....❤ &don't stress.
I LoVe your couch Margaret! And that kind of microfiber fabric cleans so easily! About the dishwasher fiasco: scoop out as much of the suds as possible, check where you add the power wash stuff and then just keep running it till it's all gone!
Ohhh Margaret, the dishwasher was so funny😂 ,not for you unfortunately, my friend on the morning of her move managed to pull the washing machine door off, which see was leaving ,(,things happen)😂😃😊
Google says… Pour one cup of vinegar and a few tablespoons of salt into your dishwasher/washing machine to neutralize the soap suds. Run the dishwasher/washing machine on 1 cycle for a short while after that.
I know you are so tired, but you have me laughing so hard over the Power Wash in the dishwasher… and when you said… Really, do I care anymore more??? You are a trooper!! - Belinda
Hi Margaret: you’ve got this. You still have a great attitude. Nothing gets you down. Wishing you a happy week and all the best heading into the newest chapter of your life. Please don’t forget to show Parker and Frisky where their litter box is as soon as you take them to the new house. You won’t have any accidents. Much love sent to you from Ontario, Canada! ❤
I know what you are going through as I myself had a major move that I did all by myself. I did hire a company to move me after I boxed everything, etc.. Still in all, it was quite a daunting operation that took many days and I packed up over 90 boxes, I was in my late 60s at the time. I’m now at 72. I know that I could never go through that again. Yep so I understand what you’re going through. I pray that this will be the last major move that you have to take.
Hey girl, couple things while I'm laughing at the dishwasher. 😅 I'd have used a towel to sop up the suds. I'm glad you don't have more dishwasher soap ! When we pulled out of our driveway 4ish years ago, i never looked back .that was hard. I made the mistake of google earth my then house. Buyers took out every tree, the fence, 3 ponds, all gone. I shake my head. Anyway, once moved, take a mini vacation somewhere tropical. Now fb is telling me i will be cancelled if i dont do what they say. I'm Cornfused. Breathe. Stayin aliiiiiive 🎶
Oh my dear girl, as soon as you sat down on the couch with that full cup of tea, i thought to myself yikes. But i had mentioned to you months ago how nervous i get as you walk n move all around wirh a full full full cup of tea. U reassured me its ok. N now here minutes after washing your pretty couch, you spilled tea. Im so impressed how well you handled that. Hang in there its almost over, youre so close. 😊❤️
I have scars on the very top of my legs and about an inch above the leg elastic at the front from someone bumping into me while I was holding a mug of tea. But that said I do still wander around with a cuppa! Live and learn? Apparently not. 🙄
Take care of yourself moving is hard but the move will be good. Get some sleep . After 38 years in my house when we locked the door for final time was a feeling of relief and no stress.
You’re too cute! I was concerned about the tea spilling on the couch. I don’t have a dishwasher, but I agree with the other comment about rinsing through with cold water. When I have too much sudsy water in the sink, I rinse through with cold water - same concept.
I love Parker and guess what? I live in Parker!! That is the name of my city!! Meant to be that I watch you guys 🐾🤗 BTW- dishwasher issue.... yep .. done it before ... nothing to do but to keep cleaning it up until it's done. Ha glad not just me!!! LoL
As soon as you said you used some of the “power wash” stuff in the dishwasher, i cracked up. Ask me why? Been there, done that. Nothing you can do but laugh.
You've probably already solved it, but in case you haven't, I would take the racks out of the dishwasher and wipe it all out with towels, then let it sit open overnight. Tomorrow you can try running it with vinegar and salt., but you only let it run for a few minutes, not the whole cycle. You know the new neighbors coming by to introduce themselves and offer phone numbers is really a bright spot in all of this hassle. So, things are getting done and looking up!
Thanks. Dishwasher 0 - Margaret 1. It took 4 cycles, but the suds finally dissipated. I will be at the ranch house today and will try to find the DW. pods to do one last load of miscellaneous stuff tonight.
I will be so glad for you when everything is out of this house! I know there will still be a lot to do but you can take as long as you either want or can stand because there’s no deadline! My suggestion is take a full 24 hours (really 48 but that’s not going to happen!) to just relax the first day in the new/old house. I seriously doubt you will do it so at least take frequent sit downs to just look out the window while having a cup of whatever. Keep hanging in there, you’re almost to the end of the tunnel. 💕👏👍👏👍💕
Yes!! Even too much Rinse Aid gave me the same results Too Much Suds hence I don’t use any rinse in aid in my dishwasher, don’t care if they sparkle or not 😮😮😮
Margaret! I can tell you’re tired! It’s no wonder with all the chores you’ve been doing! Your fatigue reflects the cumulative work and stress you’ve been dealing with for days (weeks)!😅 But please know your sudsy dishwasher was just a piece of comedy to me! I just laughed outloud next to my sleeping husband! Luckily, he didn’t hear me and think I was a little wacky 🤪! I think you’ll laugh pretty hard about all those suds once you’ve rested and started to reflect on your moving adventures 😂. I hope you are starting to quietly visualize your life in your calm, neat home where you won’t have a demanding schedule or much stress, and you can feel a lightness and a sense of freedom about doing anything you want! 😊
Hi Margaret!! I'm so sorry 😢. Well I would rinse out a cup make my tea & proceed. Personally may not be smart but I'd take all out dishwasher 1 at a time rinsing in sink. Then try get suds out I'd Google how get suds out of dishwasher I know tiny bit of fabric softener helps in washer xtra suds. I'd Google. But run on short cycle cold water try. Yes getting kitties in bathroom sounds easier wearing bee keeper garb lol try get cats in carrier. Ok now to watch rest of video. I know you've got this. Go Margaret!! 🙏🙏🙏
Do you have any white vinegar? (probably a dumb question) - that will get rid of the suds. (run a cycle with just vinegar). I wouldn't worry oo much about getting the place spotless - you know the new owners will clean it from top to bottom. Hang in there - its' almost over!
Six years ago, we moved three states away from our home of over 30 years to be near our son, DIL, and 4 granddaughters. Also from the state I was born and raised. Our parents had all passed before we moved. We pulled out, and I never looked back. Grinned the entire trip here to our new home. My heart was already where we were moving to. Sounds like you feel the same way. It’s been a wonderful six years here, and we are so thankful to be here to watch the grands grow, watch their activities, and help when we are needed. Best decision ever! Good luck! (I did not overflow my dishwasher before leaving). Thanks for the laugh!😂
Wow, that’s strange how Massachusetts does that with the picture on your drivers license. Here in Ohio when it’s time to renew your license which I think is every five years you automatically have to have your picture taken. Is the picture thing in Massachusetts because you can do everything online, we cannot renew our drivers license online because you have to have an eye test and a new picture here in Ohio.
Empty the dishwasher and take all the bubbles out of it wipe out with cold water and then run a rinse cycle It worked when I did it I used the wrong soap
@@MargaretbeingMargaret I'm in England has your snow stopped now. . I was living in a house and it got sold the people who bought it wanted to rent it out . Which was good for me Hope you slept better last night it is really stressful moving xx
😂😂😂😂omg. Shut off the lights and go to bed …..my sil and did that at a laundromat when we first had gotten married. Lol soap all over the place. Talk about I love Lucy lol. Take care. ..😂
Well you made me laugh ,how many times did you have to de-suds the dishwasher ? You’re overtired and doing silly things ,moving is stressful. It’s as bad as getting divorced ,they say. Put a big notice on the bathroom door ,WILD ANIMAL do not enter .Poor Parker .Good Luck xxxx
Note...anyone you give permission to to deposit money directly into your acct. You are also giving permission to withdraw from there. The attorney option is best.
Oh no, did you put dishwashing liquid in your dw? You can't use the sink washing liquid in the dw because it is not suds free detergent. Your no stupid! Just doing your best! Moving is just A LOT! Hang in there, your almost done.
I might have missed it but why are you moving? Is it coz you are going to look after your grand kids if so I don't understand why you are moving all by yourself and cleaning by yourself? Why isn't your daughter or son helping you?
Please go watch Margaret's previous blogs for answers to why she is moving! She has had help from family&in today's video, she said her son was coming Sunday to help.
I just went in to hysterics!!! When you said "I used the power wash.." I thought to myself "Hmm I didn't know you could do that." About that time you opened the dishwasher and I laughed out loud! 😍
That means one of us is laughing!!
Oh, Margaret, I feel for you. I am your age; packed up, repaired, painted, cleaned our home of 42 years and felt all your emotions and stress. It took a year to get everything in place, including a new septic field which required tear down of trees we planted and deck we built. When that happened, I knew I could never drive by and see what the new owners change. It's funny (not the ha ha kind) how we shift into a new perspective and look instead to the beautiful changes ahead. We're 7 minutes from our son and family and have been on standby to lend a hand with their babies since the oldest was 2. It was the best decision we ever made. Congratulations on listening and taking action on what feeds your soul. Word of advice: brace yourself for the years of activity ahead, and get all the rest you can!
love this!
I am so sorry about your dishwasher but you are right, that was an episode of " I love Lucy!"
🤣😂🤣❤️❤️❤️
Put the pillow in the dishwasher LOL. My suggestion would be vinegar and if possible cold water.
Lol. that was funny!
You're doing good! I was thinking in my past life I did so many moves that I never had the spring clean I just moved out clean my house and moved on to another clean house, but now I've been in this house 41 years that would be another story I would imagine when the time comes for me to move from this one and it'll be my kids clearing it out cuz I went to heaven😊 by the way all of that story is in my a glimpse of my life on my UA-cam channel LOL❤ hope your move is great and God bless you
The check should be handed to you at the settlement table with your realtor and the new sellers and their realtor!
That is so strange about this transaction!!!
Your sense of humour is one of your greatest strengths and blessings..for yourself and for us who love being your u tube buddies❤ should call you bubbles? lol 😊
lol
Oh my gosh, I’m sorry but I laughed out loud when you shared your dishwasher dilemma! I can tell you’re done and ready to get the heck out of there! I’ve been in my house for 32 years and don’t plan to move any time soon, (hopefully never),😊😊. I’m looking forward to seeing your new home, good luck with the cats!
Oh thank you!
Hahaha - Rule of thumb when preparing to move - Keep a laundry basket or box full of cleaning items/soaps/paper towels, trash bags, etc. in the house you are leaving so you have stuff to clean with. Take the basket/box in your car to the "new" house when you are totally out of the "old" house. Also put toilet paper, and other essentials in the basket as well.
Never saw a kitty play fitch. So cute.
Great idea!!
Ok, chickadee… regarding spilling your coffee… I have a little trick for you. I know of this bc I have had kitties my whole life and this is something that mostly targets their little mistakes. It works by eating away the enzymes that are what create the odor and cleans by default. I also use it on spills, etc bc it's a handy quick-grab, all in one kind of thing. You can play around with whatever measurements you want but the concoction combination is:
Blue Dawn liquid dish soap
Baking Soda
Peroxide
Hot water
Mix up in a spray bottle (sprayer may need clearing at times from any possible clog from the Baking Soda), mix /shake up. Then just spray on areas needed. For urine, spray, leave on for a few mins. If need be spray again or wipe clean. If on carpet you can just vacuum it (baking soda may still have some consistency if not used in a spray bottle). The peroxide mixes with the baking soda to eat through enzymes and Dawn breaks down any oils while all giving a clean scent. I sware by it. I've used this for decades and it works every time. In this case, in the future you could spray your pillow right away...then it can be like a pretreated spray before using the washing machine. It's just a great quick grab when something happens. 😉👌
Thanks for the “recipe”. I will mix some up!
From the Amana website!
Stop the dishwasher immediately.
Cancel the wash cycle. ...
Remove dishes from the dishwasher.
Add ¼ c of vegetable or other cooking oil to the bottom of the dishwasher.
Run a Quick Cycle with no detergent or dishes.
If suds are still present, repeat the above steps.
Margaret you gave me a good laugh today with that dishwasher. I did tear up when you said how long you had been there. Time to make memories in a new place. Get some rest.
Thank you so much.
Add salt to the soap compartment to break down the suds
put the coffee-stained pillow in the dishwasher and put that extra soap to good use!!! LOL
lol
I can count on you to give me a laugh. When I saw the soap suds coming out of your dishwasher I laughed so hard. Then when you were telling about going to bed at 5 and didn’t take your teeth out I laughed so hard again. I sure miss you the days you don’t log. You will be so happy and relieved when you drive down the road Tuesday. ❤️
I think so too.
😅 the dishwasher ! I’ve done that 😅😅😅😅😅
6:11 Have a rest for a while as you are so exhausted you’re not thinking straight and everything you seem to do ends up needing a redo. Maybe just sit at the top of the stairs outside. I can understand why you’re exhausted but it will end. And what an ending it will be.🎉🎉🎉
Thanks. I needed that.
Maybe start putting treats in the carrier to get Parker used to going in and out of it. Or maybe play throwing her mouse in there... you would have to be quick fastening it up again though.

Wonderful!
We picked up our check on the day the our house sale closed, and then went directly to the bank and deposited it
Your
Final walk thru will be a moment.❤️
I’m so sorry but I can’t stop laughing you made my day. 😅😅
That makes me happy!
😂😂😂That's an I Love Lucy moment......hope you can get a good rest soon....love Parker!!
End of an era for sure! I'm sure you will have many mixed feelings when you leave. Onward and upward! I hope you get to have a few days of me time and take care of yourself. Exhaustion has a way of bringing us down when we least expect it and normally when we think we've conquered the tasks!
It’s almost over…and then the new building begins! lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂sorry for laughing but i did the same thing in my washing machine 😂😂😂😂😂
Margaret I’m laughing so hard. 😂you spilled your coffee. Suds everywhere oh my goodness. But I can tell you are tired. Take it easy girl.
😁
I just had a thought listening to your mussings.How many of us that live alone talk to ourselves (or animals) as we go along with out day?

Stick the cushion cover in the dishwasher 😂

Make sure you rest up because when your tired things just don't seem to go smooth! Like spoiling tea on your pillow things will come together to you good luck
Yes! Thank you!
Please take care Margret you look exhausted ❤ love from the Netherlands ❤
I am!
I just moved yesterday!!! My cat, Feisty will be 13 yrs next month and she was nooooot happy.
a huge adjustment!
Hope all goes well...get some rest and once you get in your new home (with all the work THAT involves) you'll think about how you feel about all aspects of this move. I sympathize with trying to move cats. We once had to throw a blanket over one of ours until he wrapped himself in it and we were able to put him in a basket and drive to our new house which was only about 10 minutes away. They are difficult for sure!!!
Omg Margaret!
I sympathise with you ...
Moving sucks I did same 2 months ago ...
Sold &downsized the throwing out &clutter massive migrane.
Also the Agent that I sold with here in In AU request a move out professional clean apparently it's the norm here...The seller also did 1 for me as well .
I don't think with everything packed I would have managed the move out clean costed $250 AU and that was for a 2 bedroom apartment..pls take it slow....❤ &don't stress.
Thanks for posting (and commiserating)
I LoVe your couch Margaret! And that kind of microfiber fabric cleans so easily! About the dishwasher fiasco: scoop out as much of the suds as possible, check where you add the power wash stuff and then just keep running it till it's all gone!

I didn’t know that was possible. I would have kicked it and walked away. I wonder if that is why I have a broken toe?
Google says… Pour one cup of vinegar and a few tablespoons of salt into your dishwasher/washing machine to neutralize the soap suds. Run the dishwasher/washing machine on 1 cycle for a short while after that.
♥️
Vineger gets rid of soap bubbles!
You're almost there. Sounding tired but not defeated! Bummer about no dishwasher, but sure it wont be for long, thank goodness 😂
Keep smiling 😊
So close!
I know you are so tired, but you have me laughing so hard over the Power Wash in the dishwasher… and when you said… Really, do I care anymore more??? You are a trooper!! - Belinda

Hi Margaret: you’ve got this. You still have a great attitude. Nothing gets you down. Wishing you a happy week and all the best heading into the newest chapter of your life. Please don’t forget to show Parker and Frisky where their litter box is as soon as you take them to the new house. You won’t have any accidents. Much love sent to you from Ontario, Canada! ❤
You need to put Downy in the dishwasher. I can’t believe you put that power washer cleaner in there.at least you can have a clean cup of tea
lol
I am so happy for you. Be a long road till you get settled in your forever home,but you have a great attitude so you will be fine❤ so excited for you.
Thank you so much!
I know what you are going through as I myself had a major move that I did all by myself. I did hire a company to move me after I boxed everything, etc..

Yep so I understand what you’re going through. I pray that this will be the last major move that you have to take.
The next move is to the new house. At least it will be walking things over and not a big move.
Hey girl, couple things while I'm laughing at the dishwasher. 😅
I'd have used a towel to sop up the suds.
I'm glad you don't have more dishwasher soap !
When we pulled out of our driveway 4ish years ago, i never looked back .that was hard.
I made the mistake of google earth my then house.
Buyers took out every tree, the fence, 3 ponds, all gone.
I shake my head.
Anyway, once moved, take a mini vacation somewhere tropical.
Now fb is telling me i will be cancelled if i dont do what they say.
I'm
Cornfused.
Breathe.
Stayin aliiiiiive 🎶
I will just love on my little one, that will make everything right!
A new beginning. Hv no doubt you’ll love it. Change is good. Get sm rest u look exhausted. Thnks for posting
Yes! Thank you!
Oh my dear girl, as soon as you sat down on the couch with that full cup of tea, i thought to myself yikes.

Take care of yourself moving is hard but the move will be good. Get some sleep . After 38 years in my house when we locked the door for final time was a feeling of relief and no stress.

I’d use a big towel to dry out the dishwasher.
lol. If I had a big towel!
You've probably already solved it, but in case you haven't, I would take the racks out of the dishwasher and wipe it all out with towels, then let it sit open overnight. Tomorrow you can try running it with vinegar and salt., but you only let it run for a few minutes, not the whole cycle. You know the new neighbors coming by to introduce themselves and offer phone numbers is really a bright spot in all of this hassle. So, things are getting done and looking up!
Thanks. Dishwasher 0 - Margaret 1. It took 4 cycles, but the suds finally dissipated. I will be at the ranch house today and will try to find the DW. pods to do one last load of miscellaneous stuff tonight.
I will be so glad for you when everything is out of this house! I know there will still be a lot to do but you can take as long as you either want or can stand because there’s no deadline! My suggestion is take a full 24 hours (really 48 but that’s not going to happen!) to just relax the first day in the new/old house. I seriously doubt you will do it so at least take frequent sit downs to just look out the window while having a cup of whatever. Keep hanging in there, you’re almost to the end of the tunnel. 💕👏👍👏👍💕
Thank you so much.
Oh no Margaret!!! You put dish soap in the dishwasher??? No no no!!! It just gets soapier 😮
Yes!! Even too much Rinse Aid gave me the same results Too Much Suds hence I don’t use any rinse in aid in my dishwasher, don’t care if they sparkle or not 😮😮😮
Margaret! I can tell you’re tired! It’s no wonder with all the chores you’ve been doing! Your fatigue reflects the cumulative work and stress
you’ve been dealing with for days (weeks)!😅 But please know your sudsy dishwasher was just a piece of comedy to me! I just laughed outloud next to my sleeping husband! Luckily, he didn’t hear me and think I was a little wacky 🤪! I think you’ll laugh pretty hard about all those suds once you’ve rested and started to reflect on your moving adventures 😂. I hope you are starting to quietly visualize
your life in your calm, neat home where you won’t have a demanding schedule or much stress, and you can feel a lightness and a sense of freedom about doing anything you want! 😊
Love this post. Thank you.
Take all the dishes out of your dishwasher. Pour vinegar and salt in it and turn it on. That will help the soap dissipate.
If only I had any on hand! lol
Never ever use anything besides dishwasher cleaner. You’ve learned the hard way like I did🤪 Put ALL the suds in the sink and do a final rinse.
Finally at that point after the 4th cycle !
Hi Margaret!! I'm so sorry 😢. Well I would rinse out a cup make my tea & proceed. Personally may not be smart but I'd take all out dishwasher 1 at a time rinsing in sink. Then try get suds out I'd Google how get suds out of dishwasher I know tiny bit of fabric softener helps in washer xtra suds. I'd Google. But run on short cycle cold water try. Yes getting kitties in bathroom sounds easier wearing bee keeper garb lol try get cats in carrier. Ok now to watch rest of video. I know you've got this. Go Margaret!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much!
Can you opt to have the $ deposited directly to your bank account ? They usually call it a “wire transfer”. It’s easy and convenient.
Best of luck Margaret, you are a champ❤
Thank you so much!
Do you have any white vinegar? (probably a dumb question) - that will get rid of the suds. (run a cycle with just vinegar). I wouldn't worry oo much about getting the place spotless - you know the new owners will clean it from top to bottom. Hang in there - its' almost over!
4th cycle finally got it under control.
How long did it take to get rid of the suds.lol
hours.
HAHAHAHa you just spilled the tea! 🤭
you are enjoying this wayyyyy too much!
gently dump water with a pan into the dishwasher and let it do down the drain. I'm still laughing.
Six years ago, we moved three states away from our home of over 30 years to be near our son, DIL, and 4 granddaughters. Also from the state I was born and raised. Our parents had all passed before we moved. We pulled out, and I never looked back. Grinned the entire trip here to our new home. My heart was already where we were moving to. Sounds like you feel the same way. It’s been a wonderful six years here, and we are so thankful to be here to watch the grands grow, watch their activities, and help when we are needed. Best decision ever! Good luck! (I did not overflow my dishwasher before leaving). Thanks for the laugh!😂
lol. great post! Thanks!
Wow, that’s strange how Massachusetts does that with the picture on your drivers license. Here in Ohio when it’s time to renew your license which I think is every five years you automatically have to have your picture taken. Is the picture thing in Massachusetts because you can do everything online, we cannot renew our drivers license online because you have to have an eye test and a new picture here in Ohio.
Yes, it’s a Mass thing!
Do you have a shop vac? You could vacuum the suds out. Good luck in your move.
not at the house.
Lucy, all you need there is an Ethel to join you in your shenanigans.
Empty the dishwasher and take all the bubbles out of it wipe out with cold water and then run a rinse cycle It worked when I did it I used the wrong soap
Thanks!
You are moving right along.
Boy it feels like slow motion!
Get some rest and then keep going! You will get there soon!
That’s the plan! Thanks!
I have to say.,,you are hilarious to watch 😂
My life has never been dull.
Hi I hope the move goes well for you . Is your tenant moving as well . Hope you don't mind me asking xx
I don’t know what arrangement she is making with the buyers.
@@MargaretbeingMargaret I'm in England has your snow stopped now. . I was living in a house and it got sold the people who bought it wanted to rent it out . Which was good for me
Hope you slept better last night it is really stressful moving xx
@@MargaretbeingMargaret did you get rid of the soap suds in the end xx
hours later.
Salt in the dishwasher maybe?
Edit: oh, it's been said.
Are you going to live with your son and his family in the new house? I've missed all this in the videos that I have watched.
Building my own place attached to their new garage.
I've only recently found your videos and I'm trying to catch up
Sprinkle salt over the suds
I want the lamps 🤣🤣
Come and get them.
Haha long drive from Illinois @@MargaretbeingMargaret
Put vinegar in the dishwasher
lol. there is NOTHING here.
😂😂😂😂omg. Shut off the lights and go to bed …..my sil and did that at a laundromat when we first had gotten married. Lol soap all over the place. Talk about I love Lucy lol. Take care. ..😂
Oh dear! Havent had that happen before.
I know, right?
Try cold water, not hot. Maybe add vinegar? 💕💕💕
There is nothing here. 4th cycle it is getting much better
@@MargaretbeingMargaret Lol, yeah. Maybe add some dirty clothes! 🤣 Of course I'm kidding. I never had a dishwasher. What would I know?
lol
Well you made me laugh ,how many times did you have to de-suds the dishwasher ? You’re overtired and doing silly things ,moving is stressful. It’s as bad as getting divorced ,they say.
Put a big notice on the bathroom door ,WILD ANIMAL do not enter .Poor Parker .Good Luck xxxx
4 cycles did it! lol.
Direct deposit to your bank….that’s what I did.
😂😂😂😻🙏❤️
Note...anyone you give permission to to deposit money directly into your acct. You are also giving permission to withdraw from there. The attorney option is best.
I would question if this is true.
@@cynthiaolson959 according to the bank, it's true.
😅😂❤❤
White vinegar!
Oh no, did you put dishwashing liquid in your dw? You can't use the sink washing liquid in the dw because it is not suds free detergent. Your no stupid! Just doing your best! Moving is just A LOT! Hang in there, your almost done.
Get some good sleep!
😂😅😂😅
I might have missed it but why are you moving?
Is it coz you are going to look after your grand kids if so I don't understand why you are moving all by yourself and cleaning by yourself?
Why isn't your daughter or son helping you?
Please go watch Margaret's previous blogs for answers to why she is moving! She has had help from family&in today's video, she said her son was coming Sunday to help.
Thanks!
This is for future Margaret. Vinegar or fabric softener will cut the soap bubbles 🎉
Good to know!
You have gotten to uptight and you needed help
