Oh that's vexing. Hooray for your neighbour 🙂 I've acted as witness for a couple of friends now, all very straightforward so hope things go smoothly x
I've had my mother visiting today so not much in the way of OATs, but I did start my second row of scything and book the new car (back) into the garage before she arrived, and have just paid an invoice that's been sat around for a few days so some small progress at least 🙂

problem is that none of it is worth booting. or even giving away. old photos (inlaws holidays etc), OH's laptop disks from when he wrote his dissertation. I did go through and bin a load of old road map books - so old I wouldn't rely on them even if we didn't have satnav. I do go through things and see what I can get rid without OH knowing but I worry that a week after I do he'll ask about that prized possession!!!
