    nabowla - i struggled with this for AGES!! you are probably doing this already but this is what i was missing - i found that when i wanted to try to change colour, size or strike through - i typed what i wanted first and then highlighted the bit of text and then selected what i wanted - i always previewed as it doesn't change your text until its posted - sorry if you are doing this already but it took me a while to realise i had to do this!!

    morning everyone just got back from preschool walk - am going to do dw, washing and begin lr which is still tidy so won't take long - last load of covers on line so will change those later - then am going to take dd2 off to beach before picking up dd1 from preschool - dd2 has swimming at lunchtime too so a busy lunchtime here

    catch you all later

    paperwork
    pc desk etc

    set a timer and work for say 15 mins non stop doesnt sound much but what a massive differece just 15 mins makes when you work hard and dont get distracted by tv pc phone whatever

    Oi you lot slow down I have barely started :rotfl:

    Right spent ages transfering old freezer stuff into new, defrosting that now. Listed everything going to try to be much more organised. Filled a bag for charity collection (for a change I got a genuine one, Air Ambulance) managed 28 which I was impressed with, clutter going eventually.

    Puppy, little madam! Hobbling this morning, I let her outside and she was running around the garden, then when se came in hobbled again. Seems as soon as I turned my back she did it. I left the room and she did a leap onto the sofa (I seen of course) then when I came in to tell her to move she held the poorly paw out! The little monster was playing on it, something I didn't thing dogs were capable of!!

    Living room still a lot to do, have made a start. It's actually not too bad clutter wise. Just a good clean needed.

    Right best go and get on with it, happy flying everyone
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
