    :hello:Hi all
    I haven't been around for a while. First excuse was the demands of work and my second excuse is that I have been away with the campervan at some music festivals. But now I'm home and I really need to get the place sorted but I seem to have no energy or enthusiasm for that. What secrets or tips do you have , to get yourselves motivated?

    defrag pc.. means it sorts all its files out and gets rid of all the bits it no longer needs..

    find it here..

    start menu.. programs.. accessories.. system tools.. disk defragmenter

    it doesn't delete anything you will need just tracking cookies and such rubbish I usually do the disk cleanup first as it makes it a bit quicker.. and I run a scan for spyware as well.. get rid of everything at once.

    Afternoon all.

    Wednesday is bedrooms day for me. I've stripped and remade my bed. Done two loads of washing which was outside until it rained a little. Some of it was dry and has been put away, the rest is draped upstairs, it's nearly dry and it's supposed to rain again.

    Dusted and vacuumed all the bedrooms and the bathroom/toilet floors.

    Dusted living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Made sausage casserole for lunch.

    Tried to watch West Wing on VOD (Virgin) but after the second phone call making me have to pause the system froze and I gave up. May try again this afternoon!
