    Sorry this seems to have been typed in a foreign language!! Can't make head nor tail of it!!!! :D:rotfl:

    Had typed a long (ish) post and was almost ready to publish it, when OH asked to use laptop to look @ bikes for DS2. Opened a new tab for him, he had a look and then shut the WHOLE WINDOW instead of just his tab:mad::mad:
    He has just had a short sharp lesson in using tabbed browsing, as he does that to me all the time and has gone to Halfords with a flea in his ear!!!

    So I can't remember what I'd typed at all! grrrr:mad:

    Thursday Scrub-a-dub ~ bathroom/loo and cruddy study!

    Defrag the pc will start this once Ive posted
    Level Three

    1. Clear a shelf/cupboard wipe everything before replacing neatly hmmm might (only might) tackle my big kitchen cupboard. Its full of glasses mugs and plastic boxes and all though all sorted into shelves, Im sure I have too much in there! It's all needed and can't be thrown out, but its not needed on a daily/weekly basis so might put some in my "days out bag" in the loft for next time we have a picnic!!
    2. Do a five minute job you have been putting off forever.. like changing a lightbulb or moving a hotspot... bathroom bulb needs replacing so thats a job for the OH!! Delegation!!!!
    Selling challenge ~ Thursday nothing to sell!!


    So in anticipation of the laptop being defragged once Ive posted this, MAY I CLAIM TODAYS STAR PLEASE TOOTS!!!!

    Had a terrible nights sleep last night DS3 slept through (as he always does) but i just couldnt get off to sleep properly, then woke up a few times and don't feel like I actually got a deep sleep :(

    I might have to supervise the TV from the sofa, when DS3 goes for his nap later :D
    :rotfl:If you have made someone laugh today... check your skirt isn't tucked into your knickers!!!:rotfl:
    Mrs B you're a legend.

    Thursday Scrub-a-dub ~ bathroom/loo and cruddy study! Done :D
  • Blimus no honey - if you have done all the throwing that you can then you can delete it and move on - maybe you will find more bits during the day - remember every fiddly little thing counts. but if you havent reached 100 and there is still stuff to sort through then you cant delete it but you could leave it on your list for now and move on to something else - hope that makes sense.

    Thanks Toots - I'll leave it till the end of the day then. :D

    Still to do:
