Welcome flybabybunting (fbb). If you go to the top of the thread, you will see thread tools - click on this, and subscribe to the thread. Then the thread will be saved in your UserCP. If a new post is made, it will come up bold in your UserCP, and you can click on the down arrow to go to the last unread post.

One thing that helps me get things done is the HHC (half hour challenge) where we challenge each other to do as much of our lists in half an hour as possible. We then all meet up back on the thread 30 mins later and post our achievements.

Flybabybunting, it's my first day doing this as well - hopefully it will go better than my working from home - I've barely done anything so far because I've been on the phone to our IT dept. trying to get my email running!

However, sheets are being washed, to be followed by towels and the pillowcases which wouldn't fit in the first load!

Pigpen - Happy birthday to your mum. Same day as Harry Potter How is her woofie dog getting on?

Dusty - sorry, no knowledge of turbolister. I think pigpen and AnW'sMum have spoken about it before though. Is AnW'sMum on holiday?

Her deefer can wag his tail again now sthough he still cannot jump onto the sofa. One of his feet is a bit floppy still but it is looking like most of it will fix in time.. Dusty.. you'll have to copy and past the listing to another file.. ie.. redo it.. or.. try duplicating the listing making minor alterations and uploading them.

Just a quick good morning and will catch up with the thread later.

It rained so hard here during the night it kept me awake.

Going to see mum this morning then doing my meeting and greeting.

Hugs for anyone who needs one.

Valli Either freecycle them or charity shop. Clearing clutter allows new things to come into your life.

Catch you all later
