    It's on post #1, on the first page of the thread.
    I always copy'n'paste to a Word document, so that I know where I am on it, and can mark things as done as I go, without having to hunt the thread for my own posts (I think you can do a Search for posts you've made yourself).

    ETA, ah, good ol' Toots has come up with the goods.:beer:

    I usually do mine once a year for most of the bungalow; kitchen ones at least twice a year, as they get cooking smells trapped in them. All our curtains were carefully chosen to be machine washable.;)

    You are a good wolfie.

    evening all

    Toots hugs honey you sound down xxxx lots of spoons being chucked your way

    lamewolf wish I had copied my list into word as I have no ideas about where I left it!!

    What I do know is that I have filed and shredded for England this afternoon and ......(wait for it).......... I now have no filing or shredding left to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can also see the top of my coffee table I had almost forgotten what it looked like!

    OH went next door to watch the footie (he hates the noise the shredder makes) so I took the opportunity and pulled everything out of the filing cabinet and got busy
    Also did a balance transfer too which was another job on my list and in with the filing I found a cheque for £32 which was nice so I have put that ready to post, have also got the hospital insurance plane ready to post later so if I could find my list I could cross lots of things off!!!

    Very tired but don't want to go to have a nap as I wont sleep tonight, made that mistake last night :(

    argh just realised I haven't had my antibiotics at lunchtime so better go take them now :(
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Hi Al; :wave:

    Am back, had a lovely wee break, although I cldn't make use of facilities as AF came early and I am paranoid about going into pool etc with AF esp as I had nothing with me. I did manage to polish off the pink champagne and had a massive breakfast in bed and a chilling dinner last night so all chilled, came home and tidied out mine & DD's underwear drawers, emptied TD & refilled and done HHI. Just gonna have my curry now, see you all on the new thread x
