    If you go to the reply box and look at the stuff along the top, there is a capital A. If you click on the little drop down arrow next to it you will get a box come up with all the colours. Click on the colour you want and you should be able to post in that colour. To go back to black just click on the arrow again and you can choose black (top left hand colour).

    Feeling better today so will have a bash at todays list (may skip moving the furniture:D)
    I'm glad you're feeling better; but remember what I said about taking it easy. I never move the furniture; that's what Mr LW is for!:D At one time, I would have emptied and moved 6-foot bookcases without another thought, but no more.

    I feel extremely tired today (possibly Mr LW driving the pigs home at mega-decibels last night may be something to do with that) and for some odd reason my left ankle keeps swelling up *confused smilie* so I think I've done pretty well to get through today's tasks this early.:)

    Tuesday ~ Living room, reception rooms and hallway
    Level One
    Declutter and vacuum floors Done (Mr LW)
    Wash any soft furnishings and plump pillows and fluff throws Done
    Level Two
    Vacuum under sofa cushions and wipe away any gungy marks Done
    Tidy coats, bags and shoes All tidy
    Vacuum under furniture you can safely move Done by Mr LW Sunday
    Level Three
    Tidy understair/hall cupboard Tidy
    Dust and deweb Done
    Polish glass and metals and mantel Done

    Extras

    1. Wash windows and curtains Windows done; hall curtain done at weekend; cannot do lounge curtains (need help to get them down)
    2. Clean out fire..arrange for chimneys to be swept.. every 6 months if you burn wood and smokey fuel! N/A
    3. Wipe doors and skirtings Done
    4. Catch up on any important phone calls Boiler service organised by Mr LW. (I don't do phones).
    5. update finances spreadsheets Done
    Tuesday is as complete as I can manage.:o
    Posi-vibes wherever needed for today; ((((HUGS)))) where they're needed, also.

    Thank you. I'm still finding it hard to accept I can't do the things I could:( I keep looking at the bookcase and thinking I'm sure I could manage that (Rolls eyes)

    Sorry you are not having a good day, hope your ankle is ok.
    I'm still miles behind on the tasks, I keep running out of energy:(

    Sending you lots of positive vibes and (((HUGS))) as well.:D

    Hi all sorry i didn't come back just been so busy with everything. I'll have a read through the thread and catch up in a bit. the boys meeting went well, i am really pleased with DS1. The only probs with his are lack of concentration and not listening properly, no change they then.But apparently he should cope well in secondary school. He's only in Y5 now but were off knowing if theys anything extra we can do to help him.DS2 ((he's in Yr 1)well he's a nightmare to sort out what with slow development etc but we are getting a special pack for him to work on. So that's all good.

    Monday ~ Kitchen & Dining area Star please toots!:j
    Tuesday ~ Living room, reception rooms and hallwayStar please toots!

    thanks love!!!

    Bleeding heck i can't believe i've done them both, shows what last night can do. right off to start on the bathrooms.

    I think that's the hardest thing, when you think back on what you used to manage, and realise you can't do it all any more. I'm still working on that one myself.:(

    No idea what's going on with the ol' ankle. I'm working on the theory that if I ignore it long enough, it'll get fed up, and start behaving itself.;)
