    Go spud! you'll be fine but it would be advisable to practise using his stuff first!

    I just told DS not to count his chickens before they were hatched and he looked at me as if I'd gone mad - he has no chickens apparently... Don't they learn anything in school anymore?

    I've got suitcases full of baby clothes that I might start with. They dont have any value for us so it would be a bonus if any of them sold.

    Kids faces are so funny when they hear expressions like that for the first time. One child had been in trouble and the Head told him we would draw a line in the sand - he couldnt work out where the sand was :rotfl:

    his chickens have hatched now - Spain won. I like the idea of the line in the sand though!
    Baby clothes seem to sell ok in bundles, just watch you get the postage right.

    We've got so much stuff, it's difficult to know where to start :rolleyes:

    I'm sure we will make some mistakes to start with, so long as we learn from them ;)

    Spud, there's a door you open to get in there and the dried up dead ones fall down on you at that point.... everything gets covered in webs so they're up there alright.

    That's what my garage is like, all webby and old spider shells that they've shed. Our loft is OK, maybe it's well sealed so they cant get in :confused:

    If our loft was like yours, nothing would ever go in, nothing would ever come out :o
