    Thanks Inky, I was thinking about a tenner, so I'll look around, I'm going to be getting a lot of things from Mr T soon (sofa and bed included!) so I'll throw that into the basket too!

    Cool, they've got a cross cut one for a tenner so I'll get that one. Probably go tomorrow actually. Can you recycle shredded paper?

    Evening :hello:

    Ames, I recycle my shredded paper, also , when we had a cleaner, I just made sure that things were put away and then the cleaners came and blitzed. I used a cleaning firm and they sent 2 ladies round every 2 weeks. It did cost a bit more, but they brought all their own stuff and I knew they were insured. Also, it was easier to complain if needed and dispense with their services;)

    Whatatwit, that's made my mind up!

    I'll take the shredded paper to the recycling bins, I hope they're big enough lol.

    evening all -

    i've been running.... only 2 miles but considering i coughed up a lung at 1mile, i did well to carry on to the 2mile mark....

    Erin was scootering along in front of me... then she went into playpark while i made another loop of the circuit....
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    oooh, whatatwit - the other night, you asked if I'd been to Quarteira - I haven't. Have you been? I know it's quiet in comparison to a lot of resorts with Vilamoura joining on to it. We just go for somewhere with a handful of bars and restaurants. I've booked an apartment, so it is cool to stay in some evenings etc. Apparently it is a bit of an overflow resort for workers etc as well as tourists.

    This is where we are staying

    Maz, well done! It must be even harder running when you're ill. Erin did well too!
