    Hi you lot...lemon tree I don't have Excel and don't know how to use it anyway.
    Hypno..your tea sounds lovely as well..yum...mine was really simplejust turkey breast and onion stir fried with a packet sauce(picked up in home bargains 25p each) and rice...
    Karmacat...hang on there ...that's my list for the whole of October...lol...it all needs deep cleaning as I've been a mucky pup and not kept on top of all the housework and it depresses me...so as "life laundry etc"..needs to be done....

    And on that note....I've made a start...LOL....I've brushed all the floors upstairs and the hall,stairs and landing and hoovered both living rooms.
    The bath mats have been washed and are going on the line shortly.

    ooh, I missed that bit - but it is there. I'm not usually on the boards as late as this, thats my excuse, and I'm sticking to it :) Your start sounds really good! I actually managed to clean (the centre of) my kitchen floor before Wol got here the other day, I was very impressed with myself (but too embarrassed to blather about it, except to another mucky pup!) :)

    Onion gravy .......... bliss.......... I still like gravy, tho veggie granules aren't quite the same as Burdall's gravy salts.... :)

    Not a problem - I'm fine with it. And yep, Burdalls, v old fashioned, and a fantastic taste.

    Definitely take your time over the cleaning - you never know, something more interesting might come along to do! Bad news about that 14 hours shift too - another reason to take it steady the rest of the week.
