Thanks Dusty - that is a stinker of a list! We have overnight visitors at the weekend again so it will help me if I can make the time this week.
Valli - I suspect you are right re the kindle. I tried the reader on the iphone and hated it which puts me off.

Evening all
Thanks for the thread, dusty. I was doing well until last night, when I suddenly started feeling rough. Perked up after a bath and went out, went to farmers' market this morning and felt really unwell once I sat down with some food afterwards. As a result there is rather a lot left on my list. Never mind, I'll make a fresh start tomorrow. Got to S&S the kitchen tonight, empty/reload DW and do some washing. Hoping I'll be fit to go to work tomorrow.

Wow - that's some list. Most of it will get done over the course of the week, though. DS1 just did the bathroom on Friday, so there's no rush yet. I've also taken out the cupboard under the stairs. That's a job for a holiday and involves masses of paperwork sorting and filing. Have a good week, everyone. x
ETA Thanks for the advice re the pig, hex. The pigs are from Ruler Hall near York, but there's not much of a website. I'll need to make space in the freezer, but I've got four weeks until the next market. As long as I phone her before the end of the month, I'll be able to get it at this prize. I'll need some good recipes to make the best of the cuts, as I currently just bung joints in the oven or SC and hope for the best.0 -

I've been procrasinating all weekend and have now had to settle down and do 3 hours ironing. I've done 2 hours so just an hour more. The school shirts have just finished in the TD so off I go......0 -
