    Yep, the clue is in the name, I think :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Oh no...don't even think all speakers are the same. I've had speakers which when they played music were indistinguishable from beating up a cardboard box with a wooden spoon...

    Great to get your stuff out of storage!

    Just those so far. I need to buy furniture like wardrobes badly... :eek:

    The speakers ironically have helped as I have my hifi on one, and a computer monitor on the other, which have helped to liberate a couple of tables.

    And you have a fair bit of space, don't you? So you're not going to get crowded out?

    I'll get more space as the number of cardboard boxes goes down. Many of them are half empty as otherwise they'd be impossible to lift.

    Mr z wont be crowded out until the next MSE meet is at his:p:p

    It'll be a long time before this place is habitable by anyone but me and my cardboard boxes... :p

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Well, don't know what it has been about this week, but so many people have either had a go, or at least had a dig when I've tried to be kind or helpful to them.

    But at least I've kept reasonably calm, and not starred in "Z goes Joe Pesci..." :rotfl:

    You have a wrapping paper box now, Z? (I'm catching up, don't shoot me) ... tres impressive.

    Sorry people are having a go at you :( its not a good feeling :( I've ended up writing safety reminders in my diary (don't send the dragons after that person who revved up at 4.30 this morning, that sort of thing). Fluffiness, see? :):):)
