For some reason I can't copy and paste my list over :think:
Anyway I've made a start on blitzing my front room but then I checked my emails and found an email from a close friend that I'd lost touch with(he's in the forces and has been away somewhere hot and sunny but not very safe), I then checked my facebook and found he was on line!!
So I then spent the next 5 hours talking to him
Oh I got my list to paste :j
