    Flip, I think you have read my mind.. today he eventually made me realise that I cannot have bi-folding doors as the gap is only 1800... so it is french doors to the living room and kitchen... I will show OH these x

    The M list is coming on in leaps and bounds - I'm adding the new items and it will take me the rest of the evening. I don't know how I manage to cross the expired items off the list - I do take details of what is 'off', just for my own security, but, when I'm resetting the list, and going through it to do that - to change last time's bold to 'normal' text - I just seem to remember precisely what has expired. I used to do it all from memory - the entire list with new items - though it was like taking an exam twice a week:rotfl: - I don't do it from memory any more because, with more stores and wider ranges of items, there is much more but, if truth be known, I probably could.
