    short_bird we have some boxes for that purpose anyway and the gramophone is in one of those cabinets so I might see if they will all fit in what we have got already. The problem is OH has been hiding his paperwork to tidy it away in there, oh well, looks like he will be doing some decluttering later :rotfl:

    So you may not need to shop for a solution?? :money: Result:D

    As it is the birthday of Him Indoors tomorrow, a couple of people were due to stay over to :beer::beer::beer:. The really annoying visitor emailed to say he's not coming over till tomorrow and I'm :j:j:j. I suppose I should be :o but life's too short.

    Anyroad, when they all go out to :beer::beer::beer::beer: on Sunday, it means I can have a sort out for the next Vintage Fair a week on Saturday. Time to declutter the Christmas decorations....:D

    Afternoon

    So far I have managed to

    Speak to insurance broker who can't help
    Taken DS2 to town and could only see one of the things we wanted to look at
    Made tom soup which was not very nice due to tasteless tomoatoes, won't buy them again until summer so need to find a good recipe for tinned ones.

    Fence is done and looks lovely, just need to wait for the last panel to arrive and all the broken old ones (willow panels) can be broken up as firewood.

    A couple more presents arrived/bought.

    HHC at 14:00 anyone

    Do you think something to correct your posture might help? Are some muscles becoming over developed at the expense of others? Oddly enough, a sports therapist might be more able to assist IMHO

    Can you add vegetables to it, and make an improvised, but tasty, soup :) alternatively, a couple of tins of tomatoes, and some tomato puree may do the trick.
