Hi Hampy :wave:
Hope you are ok?
That the sort of rice i use:T:T but still have some instock and seriously trying to use stuff up:o

afternoon all - Reading back I was very impressed as to how motivated and determined everyone is, not only to plough onwards with the normal domestic drudgery but also to take it a step further and to start tackling more of the unspeakable depths :j

I also had the £1 email from ebay :T The trouble is I like to take my photos in the garden as it shows colours better but needless to say we have lost this mornings sunshine and the w ind and rain is back There must be something I can list though. I know the obvious answer is to list with just one photo and then add more in the week when the rain stops but I think I am going to run out of week ...
Mind you I dont think any of last weeks listings are going to sell tonight if I just relist them will that count for the £1 offer ????

In the meantime we went recycling this morning - I thought it better to do this sooner rather than later incase OH decided to reclaim anything from his heaps So thats at least one job done if we don't get to Sainsbobs this week
His corner of the living room remains an oasis of cleanliness but he did try it on last night by dumping some of his railway mags onto the magazine pile. These are going to be relocated into his work bag tonight :rotfl: The mag pile is minimal so I don't know why he though I would not notice it doubling in size

Regarding paperwork I thought I'd just about done. The file boxes are very jammed full though so I am thinking that I need to empty them out and see if anything can be disposed of, filing new paperwork is getting problematic. Everything in them is very recent, less than 5 years old so what can be removed will be minimal.
I used to have cardboard concertina files, totally unfit for the job but I walked into a tiny WHSmiths one day and there were 2 lightly battered metal box files reduced on a 241 offer - very much right place, right time

And in other news we were in Waitrose this morning and the tills were spitting out conditional spends £6 wys £30 with about 2 weeks expiry on them :j so I got 2 of them

So it might be worth doing a small purchase first to see if you get one before tackling a big list.

As its totally unlikely that I would be spending £30 I went in search of people in Waitrose with trolley loads but mostly people seemed to be doing basket shops. I managed to find one couple about to do through SS and one lady in the biscuit section with big enough shopping loads so I passed the conditional spends along - my random good deed for the day done

I have done that before - Some appreciated it, others looked at me as though they were about to call security for assistance :eek:
