     Not to me! Secret women's business! (That phrase has a special meaning in Australia, relating to Aborigines - not sure if it's spread outside Australia, though.)
     Not that men's underwear is of the slightest interest to me, either. Purely a functional necessity to me - like combs or soap.

I wonder if Abi's room is still tidy!! Mind you I seem to find a losing
fight against clutter. I am always buying things to sell on and then
keeping them! At the moment I have 5 books, 3 postcard albums and
paper near me with television on and working on laptop.

Listening to a new Elvis cd, surfing the forums and packing (in a very desultory manner) for my trip to Ireland to see my parents tomorrow.

You can always park a lot of your collectables with your parents - very useful.

Yes I have already done that although as they live in Ireland it becomes rather difficult to see the treasures when you want to. :lol:

1. motivate me to make lazy paperthinks :-(
2. clean my kitchen :-)
3. waiting - that I get a yes or no for work which I have made :-(
4. looking for Enid Blyton reading stuff :-)
5. to be happy that I saw today that a film comes in a little cinema, which was not in the biggest cinemas.

     I'd be very careful of doing that - what if they decide at some point that you no longer need certain items? From stories I've read, it seems they do sometimes reach that conclusion, especially with children's books they think you've outgrown.

Just arrived back from Nottingham to find an ebay package consisting of six Red Boarded 1950's Famous Five's all beautifully wrapped waiting for me.
Happy days! :D
