    Strikes

    They are HTML code so you can't paste them into word doc then back over, you will need to restrike or copy & paste your list including the code ie [strike before with the closing bracket [/strike after also including the close bracket as far as I am aware. IIRC they work on wordpad.

    Thanks to everyone for the support on my paper - I feel so relieved to have got the thing done... :beer:

    More evidence of the power of the Flyladies (if any were needed...)...

    Having 'chased my compost bin' the other day (by e-mail.... :rolleyes:) and reported it here, I got ready to go out, hardly 30 mins later and....

    A delivery van screeched up to my door, a guy dashed up to my door, silver mules whooshing about his ears, massive green package in tow, and *there it was*!!! My brand new compost bin, to add to my collection (I so wanna have four like Hex... I have three now!).

    I guess he must have been lurking on the board....??? Tall guy, muscular, quite young - belong to anyone???? :D

    Mudbath and Soappie: take it easy, eh???? :rotfl:

    Off to bed, then off to fly tomorrow...

    Mudbath you are wonderful, no I had not seen it! They do those lovely boxes you can add photos too, I was looking for something personalised for some ladies in the family :D brilliant, 3 for 2 too! I used topcashback because they don't charge commission & I have got the higher rate with them :) (if anyone wants my referal link pm me)

    toochoosey possibly busy but being the second site you are struggling with today, possibly your internet connection

    Expenses, that reminds me, I still need to chase up my missing ones!

    Right not lots more done but it's looking a little better in here, need to gather uniforms to set out, make packed lunch then bed time I think. Night all x x x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Unfortuately not, but if you see him again, send him down this way ;)

    Had a soak in the bath (there's a ginormous cobweb on the lampshade in the bathroom:o)... am now too tired to sort myself out for the morning :rolleyes: so breakfast will be banana & cereal bar. Hopefully I'll have worked out what clothes I need to pack by the time I wake up!

    See you all tomorrow... hope you manage to stay out of trouble :p
