    Ooh its a bit nippy in the kitchen. Ive got the radiator off in there as the laminate is stacked beside the radiator.

    Nipped into town and got a few more Christmas bits. Will get some wrapping done tomorrow as there is not much room in the spare room and I can hardly move.

    Just waiting for some washing to finish and will get that hung on the airer.

    hello everyone, I would really like to join you if thats ok. Could really do with some
    motivation to get ready for xmas and hoilday which is in two weeks. So help with
    keeping on top of the housework while trying to do everything else would be brill.

    Wondered how you put a line through to cross off items which you have completed if someone
    would be so kind to explain. Look forward to being on the thread.

    Hi XYZ1000 and welcome to the thread. To put a line through stuff you need to use the 'Go Advanced' button next to Post Quick Reply, then highlight the text you want to cross out and press the button with a picture of an S with a line through. It is called[STRIKE] strikethrough[/STRIKE] I think

    Evening all, DD did really well today and came 3rd in her short story...I'm a very proud mummy...:D:D:D:D

    I've spent the last hour looking at the offers on MrT and MrS, think i have my shopping list sorted for next week.

    Rhys now in a fowl mood today because he didn't get a nap today. DD in a bad mood because she is over tired, so early night for the kids i think.

    Gonna go and grab a cuppa and make a start..
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • Dusty the bf workshop hasnt put me off, its more useless because it was very this is how we do it and this is the only way we condone type thing and heaven help you if you want to do anything different to the way we say.

    I understand they cant cover all senarios but it was very regimented for want of a better word. Have got some books and know i can always ask for advice and phone helplines etc so will see how i get on with it and if it works great, if it doesnt well then thats why there is formula.
