    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

    Great news 7WW :)

    Morning all

    One load of washing on the line, it's a bit grey out there today.

    I've polished in the living room and the only stuff in there that I'd like to move is DH's magazines which he "hasn't finished with yet". I vacuumed all through yesterday and it really doesn't need doing today. I've cleaned the cat snot off the windows in the living room and kitchen too:D

    Just a quick update.

    I've cleaned my hall from top to bottom - doors, pictures, shelves, skirting boards, hoovered,etc. so if I close the door to it and don't let visitors any further than the hall everything will be fine.;)

    Going to move into the dining room now which really needs a good clean as I normally take all my time doing the kitchen and don't do the dining room.

    Go advanced, and then highlight what you want to strike through, and click on the S with the line through it on the toolbar.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hi Eliza

    If you go advanced when you post your reply then highlight the area you want to cross out, there's a button at the top which is an S with a line through it, press that and it will cross it out for you. It'll says strike either end of what you are crossing out.

    Cross posted with you sexymouse.

    Ooh I found a cou[le of calls I need to make.. I've paid a credit card as well.. One I aim to pay off soonish.. only £800 to go lol!! I need to change my tesco delivery time as I will be collecting the children when it arrives otherwise.

    Then I think I am going to have to do timed challenges.. I'm lacking motivation and I need to catch up from yesterday and do todays work and it simply won't happen if I don't force myself.

    More tea.. more tea!!!

    Is it just me or is the tesco site down and ebay running like a snail in a straight jacket?

    Snack time so I popped in here to see what else is on my list :D

    For those wondering how to make their list fancy, here's how I do it. Post in advanced mode and use the following buttons :

    Well so far I've sorted out some of the mess that is the understairs cupboard :rolleyes: Need to work on it though as there has to be a better way of storing things than we're currently using! I've washed the dishes and have a load of washing out on the line, and another just finished. Fortunately the one on the line I put on the maiden last night so it's almost dried, not sure if I'll get it all done today or not as it's so grey here, but there's a breeze so hopefully...;)

    Best get on with the rest of the kitchen jobs so I can get on with the livingroom :wave: Roll on next Tuesday :rolleyes:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
