    The problem is I don't have Internet Explorer 5 or 6 on my PC, only version 7 which eBay haven't got turbolister working with :mad: So I now can't update the programme or anything.

    That's bizarre... I use TL with IE7

    Ok couple of questions and I want your thoughts.

    1st I have a charity collection bag shoved thru door for collection Tuesday. Now I was waiting till end of September to gid rid of dd's short sleeved stuff, just in case we get better weather:rotfl: or should I just bite the bullet and get rid.:confused: We do have charity bags put thru quite often, though not weekly and I prefer to fill them as our charity shops tend to say things like will only take donations between 2-3 in the morning when ther's an r in the month.:rolleyes: Ok I'm exaggerating slightly;) but you know what I mean.:p

    Other question is I am so close to the end but not quite finished. Next week I'm pretty sure college desn't start yet and both kids will be at school. I was wondering if I should use the fly-lady thread to guide me to what room to do, but for de-cluttering more than cleaning purposes. What do you think?:cool:

    Spendless, if you give away the summer clothes the weather will surely get better, so for the sake of the rest of us - give them away!! ;)

    Spendless, I think I'd be inclined to hang on and wait. It isn't unheard of to get a heatwave in September (as unlikely as it seems right now....!) Or if we are talking about a lot of clothes here, maybe just keep a couple of items? Wouldn't want DD to suffer for the cause! :D

    Lol at Nodwah's answer:rotfl:
