    Well sorted out the clothes drawers. Not looking too bad now a bit low on socks, pants and t-shirts but good on everything else. mind you, I have known I was short of these things for ages but haven't bought any replacements so no surprises there. Looking at my ancient 100% cotton polo shirts - I wonder how I will get ones that hardwearing - they came from Edinburgh Woollen Mill when I was a student so at least 20 years old and they have been worn a lot.

    Pip - it's funny you should say about hidden drawers. I remembered that my scarves are in the top drawer of a small chest of drawers in a small room we use as a computer room. I couldn't remember what was in the other drawers. I found a missing pair of pyjamas that I've been wondering where they had gone and 4 pairs of thick black tights (2 normal, 2 woolly ones) and the same in navy. Navy ones still in the packet. A good find. I've pretty much switched over to leggings rather than tights but good to know I have some warm tights if needed.  I've also found enough wintery tops suitable for wearing with trousers and skirts which had sunk without trace....

    I've got a spend to declare: pair of walking trousers and a belt - one of those webbing ones rather than leather.  I can't find any mention of points for belts, but its 6 points for the trousers, giving me a total spend of 32 points so far out of 85.
