    Morning all

    Thinking about sexy.

    I did all the bedrooms on Wednesday and today I've polished and dusted the living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs. Also cleaned the fridge out again, replaced lining paper in the door where the milk is kept etc. Made a sponge before I vacuumed too. I think all those little bits should cover my last star :)

    Hope everyone's OK, nearly caught up.

    I do but not always as soon as I might. I've been doing that today and so far have found a refund for a pair of jeans (postal) that they have not refunded the full amount and have possibly taken off the postage which I had paid rather than refund it. The online meat company have taken out 3 payments rather than 2.

    I am not happy. One email sent, one phone call made - both now being looked into. This happened last time I checked with another company too.

    So beware and keep your receipts and check your statements especially if you return stuff!!

    One load of washing in, shopping put away.

    Better go and put away clean washing up and load the DW. Things are going to be happening in small doses today as I still feel dopey :o. Heating is on, so hopefully the house will be warm by the time family arrive.

    Must locate my half-done meal plan....
