    Not at all the only reason DS' dad got his stuff back sooner rather than later is that I didnt have the room with DS' impending arrival. We knew there was no future with us and called it a day when I was about 4-5 mts preggers and sadly he has never seen his son. I have to say probably easier on my part cos his family are very strange but its a shame DS will miss out on having his dad about. I did find a bag of stuff belonging to his mother but that was about 1year ago and was just all old paperwork and a couple of photos so I chucked out the paperwork (it was ancient) and kept the photos incase they were needed.

    Me too because I went through the wardrobe a few weeks ago. Everything in there will be worn at some point or another in the future because they all still fit.

    AnW'smum you are very clever about your dyson and that is very MS. Bravo!

    When I looked at their website I saw the part I needed and figured it must be easy to replace, a quick call to the helpline confirmed as much. Then when I tried to remove it (to make sure I could before ordering new part) I found it very easy to do.

    Maybe yours could be solved in a similar fashion?

    If it's not raining, I might walk round the block before bed. I really can't face doing the wardrobe, but need to try over the next few weeks, as since I swapped my summer and winter stuff over, I seem to be short of space!!
