    Oooh, Greenbee - don't know if you can help (probably not as it's a strange sort of question) but hubby is working in your neck of the woods at the moment (Aldermaston) and he needs to find somewhere to live while he's there - do you know anyone who rents out houses/flats in or around that area? (some of his friends are staying in Basingstoke, so within about 20 mins drive is good) Weird question I know, but there are a few of them still looking for digs and I thought I'd ask... :rolleyes:

    I'll ask around. Is he looking for 7 days a week or just Mon-Thurs? PM me an idea of the kind of thing he's looking for (and budget) and I'll see whether I can find anything useful.

    Stairs
    [strike]Move junk
    Clean window, frame & sill
    Wipe banisters[/strike] & skirting

    As long as no one goes into the kitchen or upstairs I'll be fine :D

    Bathroom next I think ...

    Toots - motivation coming your way... there's loads to spare!

    I just want to start the year with a clean, tidy, clutter-free house (even if it means I have to shove it all into the garage at the weekend!)

    I have 4 in front of me right now, and know I picked up a whole lot as I left work yesterday (and there will be plenty there tomorrow as well), so I hope none of you feel shy about asking. They give you 20% off between Jan 3rd & 18th, so you just need to make sure you all nag me to put them in envelopes and send them out :rolleyes:. Unless all 184 of you decide you want them, I should be able to let you have more than one each, just in case you forget something on the first trip...

    Either PM me your address or email it to the address on the yahoo group...

    Right... back to the bathroom!

    Edit - found them... I've got 16 here...
