We always support the lifeboats too. Don't tend to buy stuff from the shops but they usually have those twirly collection points where the coins roll around for ages before going into the slot. The kids love thosebeanielou said:Love love love a lifeboat shop.

DH built the last of the storage last night, so I'll move that up to little miss's room today. It all fits so my measurements were to be trusted
He's going to do a tip run today with all the cardboard, so that will be out of the way. I might have a quick look around to see if there's anything else to go.
I've got one ebay parcel to pack and post. Something else gone!
Not much else planned for the day other than tidying/cleaning/decluttering.
Have a good day everyone
