    Finished, back is well and truly knackered and I am well and truly annoyed with DS!

    I just need to come up with a way to cut out the middle man and hoover the dogs :cool:

    Saw this http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4082158.htm on the weekend. our house fills the hoover what ever room I do. I was considering it, but I suspect poopydawgs would eat/hate/chew it up or hide under the bed :doh:

    TGot a load of 1970's Woman and Home magazines left in the airing cupboard by MIL. I'm a sucker for "vintage" mags, but logic dictates I'll never read/use any of them. I might just have to throw 'em out. Oh dear.

    Don't throw them - they might be worth a few pennies towards the redecorating funds - see here

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Goodness Me! When I last looked (admittedly a couple of years ago) they weren't fetching buttons! I must go and investigate further. Thanks Moam :A
