    I couldn't even find a Christmas tree, so I failed at the first hurdle...! Hope Santa will do... But I did do Wednesday's stuff yesterday, with a few extras. So I'm hoping all I do is this:

    If he doesn't know they are there then it should be easier to get rid of some? Do a box at a time with three or four piles: keep, throw away, give away, not sure? HHC?

    If all of that has failed then...

    KICK!

    Windows finished and plastering work done. Have decided not to go with quote for homer, we have used a different guy who I think would charge less, TBH I don't think the guy wanted the work. Will try ringing the other bloke later.

    Right now I am free of workmen I need to get myself in gear so...

    HHC 10-10.30 anyone?
