    Right, stopped for a coffee, bookcase put together - now just got to see if it fits in the space (yes, I know, you measure the space then find a unit to fit, but I convinced myself it would be OK:o)
    I am going to be so sore and stiff tomorrow!
    But, it all fits :T:j:T:j
    I did have a couple of moments when I thought I was looking at a disaster, but a bit of 'jigsawing' and lifting futon legs over table legs and it all (just) fitted.
    Still got to put stuff back on shelves - after lunch.

    FFP - hugs Hope you get things sorted, but please offload if it will help.

    Ok, Toots, just for you we'll pretend they're mice! :p Although, if you think mice are cute, what's wrong with rats? Anyway, they are very cute and funny and quite tame already - and they seem to be getting on with each other!
    As t'internet was really moody last night, I didn't get a chance to SQUEE! sorry, squee! at your ratties. SO cute.:D

    I'm decluttering some stuff for next week's Bar Boot so WM x 2. Sadly, no spare coathangers, I seem to have stopped them breeding...:T
