    Thanks Radish. We just need to remember to keep doing what we can when we can. Even if we miss targets any small amounts added to offset save some money.

    Thanks Lois- cheers!

    Need to decide what to keep and whether to eBay things. A lot of the decorations etc will be repurposed for gifts etc.
