    * make a trap to catch a leprechaun!! boys homework! :eek:

    :think:

    Do you have some instructions from the school (I assume?) or can the boys design anything?

    Maybe bait it with a flower pot filled with gold chocolate coins? I heard that Leprechauns are fond of that sort of thing?

    FatVonD - my hubby plays guitar too and does backing vocals :)Do you have a house full of blimmin' music gear too? Hubs has his own room for the gear and I still have speakers in the dining room, leads under my bed and the sound desk in my spare bedroom! I also swear that plecs breed in this house. Usually in the washing machine!

    Having said that though, he has his first bass gig this weekend and is away overnight so clf is rollin' on her own! Let the mse stuff commence!

    BIB, hell, yes! He currently has 6 guitars and an enormo-amp that he's had to buy a trolley for because he puts his back out trying to lift it. I did buy brackets to hang some of the guitars on the wall but it made the room look like a bad Spanish restaurant :rotfl:

    Enjoy your home alone evening and hope it's more MSE than mine, I ate one of the Easter eggs :rotfl:

    Operation get school polo shirts white and stain free continues - the overnight soaking in soda crystals doesn't seem to have made a difference, but they are on a hot wash now, so we'll see.

    Hang them out in the sunlight and let the high energy photons in sunlight disrupt the colour bonds. :T

    I feel your pain! (And your hubby's - mine bought a separate cab and head for that reason!) I think we're currently on 14 guitars (including the mandolin). OH is talking about wall brackets, but luckily we rent so it's out of the question currently!

    Allydowd - I find the forum on the coupon shop website helpful for utilising shopping apps (checkout smart, shopitize and click snap). And thanks for the list - it's a useful reminder of places to go and things to check!
