You don't need one of those - just use the flat edge of a cook's knife.

SS I'm one of your lurkers and I second Bubbles re Freecycle. Saving up and using Freecycle is what the rich folk do. Some of the Freecycle groups near me are heaving with IKEA furniture and Bosch kitchen machinery. The money saved can go on wining and dining and whatever that rhymes with.:p
Good luck with your homehunting though - you've done fantastically well on the debt-busting and the next chapter will be just as successful.:THi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
