    Absolutely, benben - that is why it is so important to stick around and to explore the other boards - just think how many "opportunities" I would have missed if I had taken a few days/weeks off from MSE!!!

    Talking of which, in the garage I found my stash of music from my youth, together with concert programmes, tickets etc from when I did the whole County Youth Orchestra stuff.....

    Definitely one of those things that made me smile yesterday......it was my equivalent of my kids skiing - friendships forged then that I made for life, and stuff like that. Very happy times.

    needless to say, that particular shoe box did NOT make it as far as the skip :D

    I am trying to run the cupboards down ahead of moving......the tin of sprouts are no longer hidden at the back of the cupboard because there really isn't much in there for them to hide behind any more :eek:

    I did that when we moved and ended up making a meal that my 6 year old said was the "best meal" I'd ever "cooked"

    Fish fingers, beans and frozen hash browns :cool: The kind that when you bite into them, you can feel the fat dripping down the back of your throat.
