    46 & 47 - Two model cards sold on Ebay - posted.


    One more parcel to post tomorrow and I'm on the home straight with another book.


    As for decluttering at m'chap's place - SIX huge bags of clothes for the charity shop, another car boot and back seat full to the recycling centre and two carrier bags of designer clothes for me to Ebay. That was a weekend well spent, and eventually I'm sure we'll see a dent in his stuff!
