    Huge (((((hugs))))) for you Toots, I don't know how you do it, and keep up so well with the thread, good luck for the treatment.

    Dinner is done, I walked over to the farmhouse and DD is reluctant to come back just yet, so seeing as its a fine, suuny day, I thought I would giver another 1/2 hour, we may not get this weather for long!!!
    I have cleaned the seats the best I can though not sure they will be stain free. I have also sprayed them with fabric conditioner and am hoping for the best!!!

    Going to check list now and see what I can do...........

    Pigpen, is it me or are you having a clear out off all unnecessary items?

    I will do some more work on the old paperwork tomorrow which will finish this list off nicely.

    Toots, again huge hugs for you. I jsut don't know how you cope with it all. Much respect from me.
