    Can I ask a technical question...how do you do a list and then mark it crossed off? Am I just being very dense?
    I can't do this either but it may be that I'm posting from a tablet? Or am I being dense too? :rotfl:

    Wow well done! I've spent ALL afternoon just taking down the Christmas decorations :mad:.
    There was a reason I was putting that one off :rotfl: We've done it this morning instead.

    This morning started off badly with DH and I having a row :mad:

    I did a bit of rage cleaning though, so something benefitted :rotfl:

    I haven't posted it yet, so I've decided I'm not going to send the F&F letter. I'm just going to continue with my payments. I want the house fund sorted first. That was my original plan and I am going to stick to it now!

    DH took the cat and dog to the vet for their jabs this morning and has paid for them both :j

    Whilst I was rage cleaning I moved some stuff around and as a result have decluttered a side table. So that's a bit more space gained :T We have identified another piece of furniture to go as well but that will be a bit in the future when we get a more suitable replacement.

    Must be something in the air today then. We had a big row and he then went off to collect the Click and Collect as I still feel poorly and then came back and put groceries outside the back door and drove off and texted to tell me they were there..!:rotfl: He is home now, but aren't men childish sometimes?

  • I hope you're both able to make it up with your DH's. I hate it when I row with mine :(. Men can be very aggravating and childish and you need the patience of a saint not to row with them every day I think!

    Well done on getting all the Christmas decs down, even if all your energy was fuelled by rage :rotfl:.
