Susie,
Go into edit post (bottom right of your post), click on go advanced and just above the box where you type there is an option to strike at the far right.....an S with a line through it.
Highlight what you want to cross out and click on the strikethrough icon.

Good afternoon everyone,
A late start for me today, been out all morning - have done 3 mystery shops, so just going to put the results in, have some lunch and then start!!! Plans for today are to swish the bathroom and toilets, clean under the kitchen table, clean out the fridge and wipe down the front door, so not too much to do. Dinner tonight is stew, so that is in the SC already, and i made the beds and wiped down the kitchen this morning before going out - so on top of things at the moment, and providing i dont get sidetracked on here, should get everything done quite quickly.
Will check in later,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx0
