    Ok i know i am stupid but could somebody tell me how i put a line through something when i have completed it on the computer. I feel silly asking as it probably obvious.

    No questions are stoopid! When you are writing the message, highlight the area you want to put a line through, then click of the "S" with a line through it button on the right hand side of the bar above where you are writing the message - the same bar with bold, italics, underline, etc, on. This will put [strike] at both ends of the area you have just highlighted. You can't see the line through (strike) at this stage, but if you preview your message, it will show.

    Hope this makes sense! It's difficult writing out the steps your fingers take, when your head doesn't know what it's doing half the time!:rotfl:

    Toots can explain it better than me....

    More stair decluttering done, Copy of Judith Krantz, Mistral's Daughter up for grabs. It's the hardback version. Let me know

    Post dealt with (arrived last few mins) DW unloaded (not sure if I already reported that!!!)

    Phone call from work to tell me to report to local branch on Thurs as there is practically no one there, all off on a fire marshal course.
    Dot to dot gradually getting completed lol but there are LOTS of dots :rotfl:

    Thanks for the explanations on how to put line through things. I love it how everyone is so helpful. :T :T
    I am on a roll this week so far. Last night did big pile of ironing as well
    Nearly finished todays list but got baby asleep in arms so stuck for a bit .
    If i put him down he instantly wakes up ( very anoying ) still it gives me time to catch up on thread.
    Also managed to s & s toilet, sink and kitchen.
    Bed covered with ironing waiting to be put away

    Afternoon all

    One load of washing hung up indoors, it's just started raining.

    I've done all the living room, hallway and stairs stuff (Toots :)) My time to myself was watching Corrie.

    I've put the rest of the books away and flattened the cardboard boxes and put them in the garage out of the way. We put the leftover carpet up in the loft this morning and got down the lampshade and that's been put up too. Just waiting for the blind man to ring now to say that's ready for fitting and it will be complete.

    Little bedroom tidied now the boxes are out and bed made up ready for DS who is coming down for a few days from tomorrow night. I'll dust and vacuum tomorrow when I do all the bedrooms.

    Dinner is cooking, off to catch up with the thread.
