    Evening All.
    Decided a HiFi system which is quite nice, but I never use and is quite bulky can go to BHF charity shop as they take electricals. Hopefully someone will make better use of it than I have and less for me to dust. It's bagged up by the front door ready to go. With original user manual!

    I finally got around to burning the 12kg of obsolete financial records at the weekend so now I can do a second pass. There simply wasn't space to store any more till that was out of the way. A fair few clothes have been ebayed or taken to CS or clothing bank so time to move on with the next batch now that they are out of the door.
