    Thanks Crafty.

    Froddington - I got my bracelet at our local gardencentre. It's called 'pure made by copperfield' and I got it for wrist / arm pain because I was fed up of still taking painkillers from something that happened last March! I've been pain free for two days now despite having to write and type and massage almost solidly for the last few days. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Pink fairy...i've done that course and really enjoyed it so if you've got any questions feel free to yell in my direction xx

    Tia - don’t want to sound boring but be careful using someone else’s wireless connection – it is illegal and there have been cases of people being prosecuted for jacking onto other people’s wireless (even if they do deserve it for being stupid enough to leave it unsecured!)

    Natty - Looking forward to pics of your new kitchen when it's done!
    Tia - that's a great MACAW. Not cheating at all!
    Mudbath - congrats of passing!

    I'm off to work in 5 minutes . . . to my lovely clean and sparkling desk. I spent an hour tossing rubbish and decluttering it yesterday. It looked so pretty! I also potted up some pansys last night that I'll take with me today to put on the desk :)

  • Thanks to all who replied about the paper thing - I don't feel such a flybaby now. Dh actually noticed all the cleaning when he got in although he looked a bit dubious when I was trying to explain it all.

    Will try to go for it all tomorrow - although I hate doing our stairs - 3 flights, 4 landings, 1 hall and a few extra steps. (Normally I get ds1 to do it but he hates it as well and he did a lot of lawn mowing on Sat). But I am going to pull out the TV cabinet as the dust behind there would choke an elephant!

    See you all tomorrow:hello:
