    I'm trying to be ruthless! I think the main problem is finding homes for everything and then having the energy and enthusiasm to actually move and put them away :o I would say about 99% of it I want, it's just not in the right place!

    Oi!
    Nothing wrong with having something that matches! Makes up for my mug rack with 8 different mugs...now THAT would drive some of you LOOPY!

    I don't have any matching mugs. I prefer all my mugs to be different :rotfl: Yet I'm a member of the "matching pegs brigade":confused: :rotfl:

    Gosh you've been quiet...
    Been for my blood test - I love watching it gush into the test tubes...
    Have also (this is ACTUALLY fantastic) FINALLY updated my internet security... it has taken, on and off 4 hours as I kept getting a red pop up telling me there were problems so I have scanned and subscribed. To my shame it was about a YEAR ago the subscription needed to be renewed :eek:
    so I am safe now...

    Valli...I've been waiting for someone to say anything! Maybe they're all tidying or stuck under a pile of clutter and can't escape :D

    I'm slowly, very slowly, getting through my desk. Any important notices I'm scanning to go on a thing called Evernote I have which means I can get them quickly :)
