    Really pleased to hear your relative is back out of hospital. What a relief for you all.

    You've just reminded me to check my local boot sale times. So I've got one for this Sunday now!

    FLW is Free Listing Weekend on eBay. Sadly I missed it last weekend and have a lot of stuff to put up. At least they're fairly regular now.

    I often laugh at work..... usually just before the hysteria sets in :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
