    Man, I'm so jealous!! I got the '1 son' out bit done pretty easily, once there was a viable female on the scene - it took 18 months before the full 'and his stuff' bit was done - and even then, a boxful of it came bouncing back the next week via second son; 'Tell mum this is the stuff I want to keep, and can she put it in my room....'
    Reason for edit? Can spell, can't type!
