    Well...I've almost done it :cool: But not quite :o

    Jars of various sugars have been moved out of the pantry, half-shelf wiped down and tins placed with precision. Then an awful lot of shuffling around of tins and condiments and jars has enabled another batch of tins to be cunningly inserted.

    Just the remainder to do now *gulp* I shall sit with an early elevenses and ponder further. Come on brain, don't let me down just as I was beginning to like you.....

    note to self: also stop watching so much Good Life (Neverrrrrr!!!!)

    Oh dear God, I've just seen the nine boxes of cereal bars and two tins of biscuits for Xmas. :eek:

    Kettle! Now!

    Thanks for the heads up, I have bought two of those bulbs at £7.49 and planning on buying more, so hopefully if quick enough will snag a couple more - I never remember things a few hours ahead so have a free alarm clock on laptop that I set and when it goes off house if full of church bells ringing, love them and I never miss whatever it is I set them for. :rotfl:
