    Bless him :A I remember my DD doing a similar badge at Brownies & making tea & toast too! He did so well doing a Sunday dinner for everyone for his first go :T

    Thanks SunnyGirl, I was so surprised when I jokingly suggested he do the meal for Mothers Day and he said O.k. I really didn`t expect him to do it, but he did. He has now asked to help with tonights dinner and of course I couldn`d say no, could I.:D :D

    kassey-Congratulations on the new arrival.

    Soappie-Hope you`re feeling better soon.

    when you edit your list and want to cross out what you've done, look at the line of icons immediately above where you are typing - the very far right hand one has an "s" with a line through it....that is the "strikethrough" button. Highlight your text, then click the button - hey presto!

    I can't take credit for this as EssexHebridean posted it for me - many thanks :T Once you're in the Edit bit click on Go Advanced & the 'strikethrough' button is there. Hope this helps.

    aimee in the reply box there's an icon on the top right that's a S with a line through it, highlight what you want to strike through then click on it, alternatively (just to confuse you further lol) you can do it manually/typing (I do) by doing this before and after a word so it ends up like this HTH.

    ETA: it didn't display - [ s ] [ / s ] lets try it with spaces lol you dont put spaces in though

    Magnificent Monday - Living room, hall, stairs and porch!

    DONE! :T

    my list:
    clean car?

    Wont be going to Morrisons cause I'm driving past it on Wednesday so it seems silly making a special trip. Had to go and get some leccy, I've checked online bank, my parcels from amazon and HMV have been dispatched (books/DVD's yay) made a sarnie cause I was starvin, and DD1 has just turned up...whilst were on the subject, can I please ask for 'get the job' vibes for her, she's having an interview at a restaurant today at 1.30 - she desperately needs this job. ta x
