    Morning all,

    Looks like another glorious day here today. Glad I'm working from home - it'll be cooler than the office. "Mediterranean like day today" according to the local weather forecaster on the radio.

    I'm in with the kitchen challenge. I also need to pop out to the post office at some point to post oodles of ebay sales. - I suppose I'd better wrap them first!

    Morning all!

    I'm afraid I didn't get started last week, was a bit of a bad week, so am hoping to get stuck in starting today!

    Off to read the first post....

    Wow, that's fab Pigpen! :T

    Do you find Turbo Lister the quickest way to list lots of items? It always seems to take me ages either way :confused: any tips?

    Morning :wave:

    Welcome new people :)

    The weather is atrocious here at the minute, one of the downsides of living right next to the sea is the sea mists and the damp weather that comes with it, feels like I could be in the film The Fog :rolleyes: the washing I stupidly left out last night is now wet :D pah it'll dry again eventually.

    Pack-ups made, kids packed off to school, work bag sorted, brekkie scoffed, 2 brews made. Just about to head upstairs to make the beds (carefully) fling open the windows to air and of course, let the damp in :rolleyes: and get changed for work.

    laters gators :hello: x
