    how did you do them? if you copied and pasted your list they disappear...if bringing it forward you need to quote it and then erase the [strike] and [/ strike] code from the start and end. HTH

    All the floors except the sitting room done, and that is currently inaccessible as there are chairs to go over to OH's and other bits and pieces needing homes.

    Windows are filthy (inside - outside is fine as I pay someone to do them). Floors need washing, dust needs evicting, but it's all going to have to wait...
