            Haven't finished catching up yet and I don't think I've posted this week (where is the week going?). But, I have cleaned every room in this house and finished wrapping Christmas presents (all except for the one I am waiting for). Washing done every day even though it has rained every day and I'm tired of seeing it draped round (I don't have a tumble drier).
 Feeling a bit bored but there's only so many cupboards you can tidy....
 Oh, and morning btw

            I am officially p!ssed off! I feel rotten, my left shoulder is agony, as are my feet, and I've had a ton of work (unpaid) dumped on me by the CAMRA branch Pubs Officer. Enough, in fact, for it to fulfill the "five extra things of my own" to add to Kaz's extras list this week.:mad: What's made me cross is that he's sat on some of this stuff for three months - if it was sent in a timely fashion, it wouldn't all be so overwhelming.:(
 Anyways.... here's what I now have left on the Extras:- Do 3 items off your toots list (items 3, 5, 10) These are now all long-term things requiring Mr LW's help We did shift several items off it last week, don't know if this counts?:o
- Make     20 min for a home made spa / face mask / you time Not     gonna happen!:eek:
 Add 5 items to this list of your own, that are achievable this week. Will have to think....
- Wednesday night I received FIVE:eek: separate emails from the local CAMRA branch Pubs Officer containing beer scores I have to enter onto the spreadsheet. Some date back to August.:mad: There are on average 20 scores on each, not in a format I can cut'n'paste, so will have to all be typed in by hand:( – the pub, location, name of beer, score awarded, date, and member's name and membership number. The information then has to be integrated onto a second sheet, which is the analysis, giving the average score each pub is achieving, and is used to help us determine next years Good Beer Guide entries.
 So my 5 extra things are:
- CAMRA email #1
- CAMRA email #2
- CAMRA email #3
- CAMRA email #4
- CAMRA email #5

            Hi all
 Kitchen restored to list level, and WM and TD on this morning (even risked putting a few bits on the line :eek: )
 Finishing my lunch and drinking gallons of water as I woke up with a mega headache, then doing a couple of HHC's starting at one to get my porch, conservatory and bottom of stairs hotspots cleared.

            Afternoon.:D
 Managed some flying yesterday, hoovered all downstairs, upstairs the day before.
 Had hair cut on monday.
 Decluttered my broken jewelry to these guys, https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2084905.... sent it yesterday, money in bank now....£400 richer ker-ching. If you have any gold or silver, it may be worth gathering it up for some pennies for christmas or whatever.
 Also took some scrap metal, old copper pipes from some work on the house from ages ago, to the scarp yard. £19.50 for that lot which had been lying in the garden for a number of years.:o:D
 Have a HUGE ebay pile to get through....and there's more to come. Ruthless head is on.:rotfl:
 Today I'm mainly batch cooking and getting my kitchen sorted.
 Dining room, cleared, table decluttered, floor swept. Looks quite spacious in there now.
 Some of you may remember the CHAOS (can't have anyone over syndrome) that I've dealt with for many, many years. Well after hubby's party at the house we had another friend come over, invited by hubby no less, to stay last weekend.
 Plus last night I had a friend/colleague over as we had some practice to do re our studying.
 It feels really good to have people over and not be ashamed of the place.
 So what I'm trying to say is that FLYING WORKS.:rotfl::j:TDFW Nerd 267. DEBT FREE 11.06.08

            Lamewolf - can I make a suggestion
 Could you not BUILD a pro-forma for the e mail so that, when you get them, they ARE in a format you can copy & paste (or cut and paste?) - maybe using an appropriately-sized chunk of spreadsheet?
 Then (deep breath) TELL the 'gentleman' concerned that, in order for you to produce/process the data as promptly as possible after he deigns to send it, he needs to use THAT format. Or you will return his e mail for re-formatting?
 A little more work now but a HUGE timesaver (and stress avoider) in the long run. HTH and hope you don't mind. (Ideas and IT is what I am known for at work;))
 Ooh have we got a Louise? (Best Del Boy impression) THAT is my most favourite name... Welcome Louise! have this - (Goes to lust after Mr. Vanian) Triker - one of your FB friends is on there!
 DD's PB Winnings have arrived! Kerching!
 Had lunch, further frog-chomping done - same frog but now someone else is doing the sorting for me my bit's done! my bit's done!
