Swedish term or phrase: lappar
Can anyone help with the word "lappar"? As in the following sentence:

Att tvätta med sina grannar har både sina tjusningar och utmaningar. Detta är vad man får upp om man googlar lappar i tvättstugan…

Thanks in advance.

agree  Agneta Pallinder: I think notes is better than notices; less official sounding. Also, like "lappar" in can also refer to just the piece of paper, see e.g. Post-It Notes

agree  Thomas Johansson: I feel this is better than notes. It's more specific.

  -> I try to avoid giving a "disagree" when I have an option but I'm sure that "notice" is better here as you a "note" is something you have to give to the other person whereas a ''notice" is for something put up on a wall. Thanks for the "agree"
