    Thank you :) It's a big list, but it will probably take the whole year to get through, so no hurry!

    Made a start. Finally phoned up and reduced the phone/tv package. Should save around £20 a month :T So that will offset the cost if I decide to keep netflix.

    Oh my word...your DH sounds just like mine..:rotfl: I can honestly say that he NEVER watches the DVD's. We have been in this house for 12 years and he boxed them up when we moved and then insisted he wanted them on bookcase shelves...and there they have stayed. The only ones that have come out are the Top Gear Specials, as the GS's like to watch them sometimes. Some are even still in cellophane wrappers. And don't get me started on computer clutter.....lol. He has the small box room for his computer, which is fine. But he has a double wardrobe in there and it is literally full of stuff that he won't ever uses again. I am thinking of starting getting rid of a couple of items a week and see if he notices....:rotfl:

    Of course I don't mind :) I like to see that I've done something, I find sometimes it's easy to forget I've done some niggling task and feel like I haven't done anything.

    Thank you :) The DVD thing is so frustrating!

    It's the same here! Unfortunately he would notice if I sneaked stuff out :(
