    David.. So true. I have a few bits and pieces that I inherited from my mam and dad. Some of it has value and I probably would part with them for that reason if I was ever short. Some things, that most people would describe as tat, I would never part with. Things like the wooden handled hooks that mam and I think nana before that used to make hooky rugs and proggy mats. I sometimes hold them knowing that their hands must have spent hours holding them. Gives me a feeling of connection again.

    Fairclair Hope you find a way to do what is best for you, both in terms of memories, peace of mind and financially. Where abouts in France is the property?

    True something you associate them with means more than something that is worth 100x more in monetary value.

    Phone is working fine, no interference at all. The router is flashing and looks like it is connecting then drops connection within seconds. OH dismantled the BT main socket box and tried through the tester connector and we have run the sky router recovery tool but still the same. Sky are running "logs" on the connection but not holding out much hope, OH reckons we need a new router so hopefully they will agree and post one but it will be well into next week before it arrives.

    Ellie have you tried plugging someone else's router in? I don't know if it'll work due to security on them but maybe someone else would know
