    Morning all, at work and having :coffee: before rearranging bookshelves in reception.

    Haven't managed to do a lot of flying over the last couple of days due to virus, but have dealt with washing up after the "chef" had finished, herded some laundry and cleared up after the engineer who came to fit the door buzzer extension. Luckily, we hadn't retouched paint or redecorated after the last engineer visited :D

    Oh, I filled the shredder as well. Another 27 filled shredders and that should do it:D

    Anyway, I shall be looking for presents in tins or made of tins for our tenth anniversary at the weekend. He's probably in denial.

    Relisted some stuff on ebay to make sure I maximise by 100 free listings each month and have listed 3 more bits. Total of 32 things on at the moment with the grand total of one bid :rotfl:

    Better hunt out those cards, either that or go and buy some more from the local shop.

    Ok, I'm confused - can someone help me understand?!
    I sailed through last week's tasks, they were great. I come on this week & find the same stuff again only 2 or 3 days later - my stairs don't need vacuuming after 2 days, my bedroom windows don't need cleaning after 3 days ...

    I s'pose I was expecting different tasks each week, maybe on a monthly rotating basis - Am I missing the point?
