    Afternoon all

    Not done any cleaning today apart from tidying up, washing up etc but I'm doing the bedrooms tomorrow because the weather forecast is better.

    Shopping delivered and put away, including a few bits for the Christmas bags and cupboard.

    Dinner cooking now.

  • The easiest way natty woud be to quote pigpens post then delete bits you dont want being careful not to delete the codeing for the colour bits. Then to cross off, highlight the bit you want to strike through, then there is a button with an "S" with a line through it you press to strike through it. If you need more help I'll just change bubs nappy and get my lunch then be back!
