    Seconded!

    Think that'll be do-able!



    Well am still on DS's lappy - he's had to reset it as he has timelocks and things on so I can't play Mah-Jonng while he's at school :rotfl: Upshot is I am having a full factory restore on my PC...it's taking ages. Fortunately I have a disc of the whiteboard software in my bag - and I suppose the PC will have been decluttered of loads of useless files as well as useful! I am flying meanwhile, all beds stripped, DS's made so farr and have changed his duvet cover.

    He was a very nice man, nicely dressed and conversation went well but I don't think there was really any interest on his part - body language friendly but no signals so I don't expect there'll be a re-match!

    We have liquid snow falling out of the sky!

    Good luck, Ragz... but go easy, eh?
    Valli - nice but not 'the one'? :confused:ETA: ah... just seen your post. That what was I thought about DH when I first met him, mind you....

    I'm popping in to claim my star from the other day:

    Star Please Toots! :j:j
    Level One

    [STRIKE]Sort through all the games and make them nice and neat (or disappear)[/STRIKE] DD did this

    Extras
    1. Mend an item you have been putting off.. ;)
    2. [STRIKE]ALL the dirty laundry to the wash baskets[/STRIKE]
    3. Wash a set of curtains and rehang.
    4. Sort the shoes.. I always have dozens of outgrown pairs!
    On the ebay postings - I haven't done this for years, though I have the Turbo Lister software on my PC (no doubt w-a-a-a-y out of date) and a Paypal account all set up. But the small print for this weekend says that Turbo Lister can't be used for free listings :o and I have forgotten how to do the listings one by one... Must go and investigate it all.

    I'm trying to do 2 hours of research a day at the moment; but am planning to fit the Master Bedroom into my schedule today. That would be 3 stars, so not too bad. Try to get back to 4 stars next week. (One day I'll make 5!)

    Hugs to all
    MissH
