    This is what's left:

    Buy last 3 bits for hamper for in-laws (needs to be done by Thursday)
    Print of Christmas card list and add/delete
    Empty wardrobe, drawers etc of unwrapped presents - sort and wrap
    Take presents to parents that they've bought for children

    Mmmm is it worth doing the windows just to finish my list. I can't really do a binbag dance as I don't have enough carp to fill a binbag anymore! Will do a 60 in 60 to substitute xx

    Dusty My boys loved the Redwall books. DS3(19) is rereading them now. I think they were young teens when they started reading them and there are loads of them. I also bought them the sets of James Bond and Inspector Morse books from The Book People. They were very popular too and good for mid-older teens.

    jo We seem to be having a lot of mould here too. My nurse tells me it is because of the warm damp summer and humidity levels.

    Good evening all :) Decided to try just for Level 1 this week, as I did some last night and was exhausted afterwards.

    On the pegs- it is wrong to have different coloured pegs on one item of clothing. Also, they should be in some form of order (I do all red pegs, then all yellow pegs, then all green pegs, then all blue pegs and then white pegs... it's the closest to rainbow I can get with those :p).
