Up to date for this weeks list for a change - nice having a day off in the week to catch up instead of squashing it all in to the weekend as usual.

Cheers m'dear!
Its hard work - working full time and studying part time and the course is pretty high level difficult too! Still after this module Year 1 is done apart from the dissertation work over the summer
Anyway off to take the dog for a walk then plant some seeds and then get back to finishing off todays chapter (1 instead of 3 as I planned) very complex reading for today :eek: and get all my bag ready for tomorrow
I was called very organised yesterday as Itook everything I needed with me for all day - drinks, fruit, snacks, lunch etc instead of spending the best part of £10 in the cafe and also £5 on train fare. My aim for this week was to keep to the budget as am there all week
Glad I've caught up with the flying today as I know how much time it will free up this weekend and I am looking forward to a good weekend and the clocks change too

Thank you very much Dragon, I will give the white vinegar a try.

Union Girl~ do you own this flat? (ie are you the landlord) If so, have the departing tenants has ALL thier deposit back?
If you still have the deposit then you need to deduct for professional cleaning of the sofa / carpets and what ever else needs doing, ie maybe repaining the wall, dry cleaning of the curtains etc, that is what the deposit is for.Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles
