    Good PADs. Good decluttering. 
    The resettlement figure may be less than you think. As you say, it doesn't hurt to ask  :)
    Thank you :)  It would be nice if they offered a huge discount, but I'm happy to keep paying otherwise.  I'll clear it eventually.

    Lovely pics and views, looks like nice warm weather too?  Glad the days feel a bit less stressful too.
