    Lady Liberty - did you see my earlier post about the Jeremy Vine show? It was incredibly positive - lots of stories of those who were told the prognosis was poor but have beaten their illnesses - especially liked the one of the man with cancer all over his lymph system as that made me think of you. If you didn't hear it and want to, it will be on the BBC Iplayer.

    Thanks Rose I'v only just seen your post so I will catch it on Iplayer. Hope your headache has improved.

    Jo lovely to see you hun....I have reposted my pics on FB just for you (any excuse lol) xx

    I have just renewed DH's car insurance online & saved £125 plus I went through quidco so quite plesed with that.

    xx

    Quick question - how do you copy your lists for several posts and then add "done" or cross out lines?

    Thanks

    Hi folks

    Hugs for all those in need.

    Been busy, sorted out some kitchen draws, cleaned the oven did the daily type stuff.

    Cat1 brought me a dead mouse and deposited it on my clean kitchen floor! how did he know I have just washed and dried it!

    Just got the windows to go, inside are ok, but it is raining so out side will have to wait.

    Why are plastic plant pots for my seedlings so hard to come by free of charge?? the local tip does not keep them to one side, wyevales no long recycle them near the door, freecycle dont seem to have any, I have a 'wanted ad' up, ebay they cost money, and local shop they cost even more, even my neighbours don't seem to have any grrrrrrrrrrrrr

    1 step if you 'Go Advanced" you'll see a little symbol like an S with a line through it. Highlight what you want to cross out, and click the strike button. HTH :)

    :hello:Hi! I'm not on the list :confused: but I am back for another week of flying. dd's bf visits us for the first time on Thursday so really must make extra effort to get house into shape! It has been a blessing to keep busy working on the list as my friend has had her op this morning, quite a serious one but just heard she made it through and is now on the ICU and doing ok!

    Hi flygang,

    I'm in again this week but in my own fashion as week from you know where at work, and visitors over next weekend.

    Am flying through the kitchen and a couple of cupboards - now I have a perfectly working pressure cooker (tested last night). Not been used for a few years as I'm a convert to the slowcooker now - so yep I'll be getting rid of it. But where to? Does anyone use them anymore - just can't decide what to do with it - help!

    Otherwise I'm pleased to say not much to throw but plenty to take out and reorganise as it all goes back in. The joys of a tiny kitchen!!

    Best go feed a hungry boy.....

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
