Might be some old stuff that's just where you'd always wanted to see, but didn't want to pay the entrance fees

Youngest took time away from portfolio work yesterday to completely change his room around, dismantling a unit at the same time. The result is a much better flowing room but now no space to put any of his clothes as he dismantled the unit!

I think he is planning on putting them in the drawers under his bed.....

Sounds lke my DW - I say don't buy any more junk till you have got rid of some first because all the storeage is full to over-flowing. So she buys mroe storeage but of course the rooms are already full to overflowing.....

Just found out friends daughter (13) has been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Puts a lot of things into perspective

I've got rid of most of the non-essential stuff, as it was annoying me.

In fact, at the moment, my house is unusually tidy

Very sorry to hear that CK. Looked it up on NHS Choices, where it says:

"Outlook
The outlook for children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is usually good. Almost all children will achieve a remission (a period of time where they are free from symptoms) from their symptoms, and 85% will be completely cured."

I very much hope your friend's daughter makes a complete recovery. Though it sounds like treatment isn't a barrel of laughs. Perhaps some treats are in order when she feels well enough.

It's apparently really not nice

They're not UK-based, so unfortunately the treatment is expensive too. The rate is apparently between 80-85%, so looks good-ish.

Sad. Might it be worth crowd sourcing for help for them? Just a thought - I'd donate something, people can be very kind in this type of situation.

I will ask about it.

I will PM you when I get home on my laptop, currently at Liverpool Street on an iPad and can't spell properly
