    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.

    Popped in for a coffee break as I've finished the kitchen :D

    Still need to do the bathroom, entrance/stairs & livingroom quick sweep (so I can have a bath etc tomorrow before the meeting ;) ). Should also remember to have lunch :rotfl:

    Susieb - When you click on reply/advanced edit you will see all these editing tools...hope the image makes it clear for you. Just select the text you want to cross out and click the button.;)

  • Morning everyone
    An addition to the birth stories.....reading all your ups and downs makes me grateful that mine went ok. Ds was a little quick though - was at the hospital for 12 minutes! :D

    2. [STRIKE]Clean any dirty marks off walls, clean light switch.[/STRIKE]
    3. [STRIKE]Dust any furniture in hallway[/STRIKE]none here

    My list:
    Clear back log of washing-one lot done, will get more done when I can get through hallway
    Make up spare bed
    Freeze some meat
    Cook up mince and bulk out with beanfeast [ already in cupboard] and freeze
    Put step daughter’s doll on e-bay
    Sort out my item on freecycle-being collected this afternoon
    Daily straighten updone but will need doing again later

    Moggin’s list for Tuesday:


    Entrance, hallway
    [STRIKE]1. clear away any cobwebs, dust and wipe down front door
    2. Clean any dirty marks off walls, clean light switch.-included door frames, skiring boards
    3. Dust any furniture in hallway[/STRIKE]
    4. Hoover floor and wash
    5. Straighten and sort coats and outdoor shoes.
    6. Clean telephone

    Dining room
    1. Clean cobwebs away, dust windowsills
    2. Clean window
    3. Dust furniture
    4. Clean table
    5. Clean skirting boards
    6. Water any plants
    7. Add any finishing touches to table, (tablecloth, flowers etc)
    8. Hoover or sweep floor.


    Then if I can get that lot done:

    Have a go at sorting out my stock of craft materialsunlikely looking at what I still need to do
    Family History researchalso unlikely

    This is all taking a lot of time but I am really trying to do it properly. Gonna resweep hallway and wash now. then clean shoe rack and telephone and then can replace items....see you all later
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    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 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
