    no idea why mine is called liberty cottage, just thought it sounded homely.

    managed to get about £15 from CEX I think :) Although most of that is made up by 3 of my fave albums - might as well just copy them though and flog em.

    Found another £6 in old software too

    AND majorly decluttered my hoard! :)

    no worries :)

    I have just had a major purge :D Gone are the dodgy recorded scratched CDs (or 'into the car' pile they go), I have a pile of software, cds and dvds that I am going to flog on eBay (max. £20), I have kept a few albums for memory box as doubt CDs will be with us much longer (much like 'tapes' and 'VHS' which I have saved!) I now have a neat box of photo CDs and one box of software cds organised neatly.

    Hurrah, I feel so much better. I am now the owner of only 6 real CD albums! I feel liberated! (such a hoarder!)


    Incidentally - anyone got any bright ideas for a pile of multicoloured pipe cleaners? They are in the way but dont want to bin them 'just in case'!!

    Morning all, just about to go into the black hole that is the kitchen ,and tidy up after yesterdays festivities! DD2 had a lovely day , grumpy son even joined in although methinks that's cos there was plenty food on the go...!

    Another busy day ahead.....work, then home, then back out for grumpy son's parents night from 5-7pm..............and guess what? Yes ,my appointments range from 5-7! so will have lots of hanging about to do in between. 25 minutes worth in 2 hours! Then immediately after that have PTA!
    On the plus side......it's still snowy outside and only 17 days to go as a harrassed,overwrought mother on her own!!
