  • michelle,

    thant's brilliant. thanks so much. Laying out clothes is a fab idea. DH will always unfold a whole pile of t-shirts before he finds the one he wants. also i have a BM with a 9hr timer so i could have fresh bread first thing in the morning. (will do that for tomorrow). The reason why i sound so clueless is that, there isn't much info out there for young women on managing their home. Tho' cosmo gives you 50 ways to great sex, lol! I think homemakers are a dying breed; it makes me feel a bit unsure of myself like i'm really old-fashioned.
    Goals: Have a Homemade Christmas 2008, lose a 1 and a half stone, be thankful for everything I have.
    Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
    How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

    Morning all

    Too late to say good luck to Toots, but I'll say it anyway :)

    One load of washing out on the line, it's a lovely day today.

    I've given the bathroom and toilet a good clean and the floor is drying now.

    Watched Home & Away, Corrie and Jericho (priorities, priorities :D)

    Waiting for shopping to be delivered now.

    1 - Press ctrl-Alt-del and see what's running?
    2 - Ask the techies on the techies board?
