Very slowly working through my email lists, think I've got most of the important ones.
OH helped me clear out a huge pile of clothes that were cluttering up the wardrobe, I'd have wanted to hang on to it all even thou I'll never wear it. She's a little more tough so firm decisions were madeit's sat in a big pile in the corner and she's even promised to drop it to the clothing bank for me over the weekend.
