    Well done on the PADs, the decluttering and the organising. Lovely that you got out too.

    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.
