    CL - thanks hun, honestly I cannot believe the mess we had, but its cleaned up now, just got to wait and see if the printers insides dry up and it still works. Going to leave it a few days to give it plenty of drying time.

    I think you should have a duvet day, stop in bed and see if your chest problems clear up. It sounds as though you have been really busy and running around and got a bit run down. Stop in bed, let the house wait or get your OH to help more and hopefully you will feel better soon. If no better tomorrow you might need to visit the doctors. Take care of yourself and make sure you drink plenty of fluids.

    Morning all

    Cornishlady - I hope you feel better soon. I know what you mean about MSE. Housework has definitely suffered:o. Hopefully with rest and a bit of fresh air you will get better quickly. Some good wombles always help too;)

    CW - sounds you like you dealt with the inky carpet situation well. I wouldn't have known where to start.

    Hope we all have a great day:)

    I know, mse is so addictive as is wombling and couponning and all time consuming too, (as well as money saving):)

    I used to just go to tesco without thinking about another supermarket. Every now and then I went to asda but that was it.

    Now I have to plan a shop with a list, I never used to have a list, and a bag of coupons/apg's. My son said my handbag is getting heavier and heavier when I ask him to pass me my bag.:):)

    Thanks hun, but all I could do was soak the ink up with kitchen towels and then scrub it with a bit of cif.

    Then I dried the carpet with some more kitchen towels and then said s*d it., I had had enough by then:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
