    When you remember, let me know Beanie and we will keep an eye out ;);)

    He has some lovely bits and pieces in the boxes he got this morning - all of which are for the doggies after I pay him a little for what he paid - very little :p:p About 1000 rulers, 2 large boxes of bottle brushes, about 5 sets of floating solar pond lights, a book binder, masses of pens, loads of boxed good pens, photo albums, toys, kitchenware, clothes, and loads more that he hasn't got to yet :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: My living room and our front garden are covered at the moment as he sorts through them :eek:

    Oh by the way Beanie, did your son get all the sharp!e pens he wanted? Coz I saw them in packs of 4 for £1 in A$da the other day - at the end of their stationery aisle - different colours too :D I could pick some up for you if you don't have an A$da near you and bring them up when we meet

    DD dropped off, not too painfull. Been in library, got lunch from Full B€an cafe on the way home. Nom nom. Need to leave shortly to get DD back. Then hoping to have energy left to go and create some space in my bedroom. It is a mess and I want to Zumba :j.

    3D, is there any way you could rent more storage space. I think part of your problem is the amount of unsorted stuff that you need to deal with that is taking your energy (look who is talking :o). Just get your home back. Getting my coat...

    Marru - are you psychic????? :eek: :eek: He got a second storage unit delivered yesterday - he only decided to do it on Friday - so that is 2 x £20 rent each week but that will be covered by the £40 Return2Work payments for the first year until he see's how it goes - one of the unit will be fitted out for people to walk in and browse records with nothing in the way, and the other for the rest of the stock - stored around the outside edges so you can still get in and out easiloy and get to things without having to move everything from the entrance first ;);)

    I don't mind the stuff being sorted at home really, as long as it goes straight afterwards - as I like seeing what is there and picking a few bits out for myself ;) But, Mon to Fri we can sort things out down at the units and he will probably be getting a key to the yard soon so will have access whenever he wants. At the moment, stock from Saturday auction has to come home coz he has no access to the yard on a Saturday

    It will all work out eventually and we WILL get all the car boot stuff out of the house and get our house back :j :j

    Glad the handover went OK and hope the same happens later when you collect your daughter

  • Wowsers trousers! 3Dogs, it must be exciting. I remember when my cousin used to pass me down handmedown clothes to me when I was a teenager.. like a pig in muck sifting through the stuff!

    Happy birthday dragon :)

    I've just defrosted a bag of mixed (raspberry, strawberry, redcurrent, blackcurrent and blueberries) to chuck in the demijohn. Homemade fruit wine ahoy ready for the Royal Wedding.

    Yum yummy fish casserole though I say so myself - just chucked 2 frozen fillets of white fish, tin chopped tomatoes, herbs & spices, some frozen mixed veg, into the slow cooker and ..... voila!! A bit like chowder (I did have prawns to put in when heating up but I ate them last night :o I have frozen two portions for Mr 3Dogs for when I am away with instructions to have with a jacket potato if he wants - must count up how many meals I have in the freezer for him as it is only 3 weeks today that I go back up to see Mam :D
