    You're quick off the mark Peaches :rotfl: If he needs you to empty his pockets then you must do so - before they wear a hole in them! All for his own good, you see. :D

    Thanks so much Sue and Sparky - these challenges are brilliant. Would never have saved so much this year if I hadn't found challenge no 3.
