Checkbox not aligned with text - css

Question

Hello does anyone know why my left green checkbox is not aligned on left of the text ? Here is my code and what I see right now.
I want something like this "V Etendre le linge X" for one row (V is the checkbox and X is the destroy button)
html,
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
button {

You have position:absolute on your checkbox. Removing it fixes the issue.
#todo-list input[type='checkbox'] {
text-align: center;
width: 40px;
height: auto;
/* position: absolute; */
/* top: 0; */
/* bottom: 0; */
margin: auto 0;
-webkit-appearance: none;
-ms-appearance: none;
-o-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
}
