rosepink1984 - Library :doh:Brilliant I never thought of that.:T Actually I could have a look at doing that tonight if I can find my library card and pin no. Thank you. You watch. I'll do that and then I'll discover about 6 copies all at once:rolleyes:

greenbee - Thanks for that.

carlsberggal - I think I enjoy them so much cos I quite fancy myself as a PI. In fact living the life Kinsey does is rather appealing all round really.;) Oh, it's nice to dream.

I'll let you all know if I come across a copy. I'm constantly trawelling ebay for it.

I think this migraine is finally starting to go, thank god.:j

Evening all

Took DS3 to his swimming lesson, very quiet at the pool.

Just going to tidy the kitchen and then get DS3 ready for bed. Ironing tonight and then my list will be done.

Toots should be add a picture to our post if we have finished the list (like the christmas tree to be added to the list):snow_grin this one would be fun.

Greenbee - we don't have fabric lamp shades, they're all metal/glass and have all been wiped or washed.

What's next....come on guys...I have energy now- keep up, keep up!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Valli - did I tell you that i've done my lists all week xx

Find a bookcase... take the books out... pull the bookcase away from the wall if it moves, clean thoroughly behind it, clean the underneath (that's where spiders hide), wash down the shelves & top/sides. Then sort and dust all the books before replacing, posting any TAG might want , boxing up the ones for the charity shop/ebay and making sure the ones you want to keep are clean before you put them back.

Repeat for all bookcases in the house...:D

Greenbee - I really like that one but i'll have to do the books and then get DH to move the bookcase (i'm still not allowed to lift heavy stuff). Then I can clean and he can put it back. Then I'll sort out all books alphabetically etc. Oooh...i've always wanted to do that and i've got at least 6 floor to ceiling bookshelves in this house with lots of other shelves dotted around. I need to create more shelf space so this is my mission!!! Thankyou!!!!:T

Oh don't. I tried to join to get rid of stuff but they appeared to not want me So I decided my stuff was to good to go on there anyway:p, and either ebayed it, gave it to a mate or charity shops instead!:D
