    Once the wardrobe is done and I have unearthed my knee high boots check if they now fit OK on my calves and give them a hoover out/clean/polish if so.

    Ladyliberty - just because i'm off the sick list doesn't mean I come to do your house now!!! Seriously, you take it easy on my orders (and loads of people will shout at you if you don't - I know!!)

    Valli - aahhh, I get it now....that's awful! Have you sorted it yet?

    Pigpen - I haven't done the list but my DH has done it because I printed it off for him!!! I've done all the washing, drying, s/s and am ready to go tomorrow xx
