BIG round of applause from me!! Where can I get some of that thyroid juice LOL (nah only kidding, I know it comes at a price ). You should seriously be proud of your efforts...I feel like I'm on the verge...keep telling us all about it!

Jackrose, when you find that bug, pop him in a matchbox and post him to me, won't you?

FionaS - you need a stick with a grabber claw & a hook on the end of it. DD1 had a bellydancing cane (with a hook on the end) that got put to good use as a multipurpose tool when I had SPD! BTW your shed will be handy but beware, like mine, it's become a new clutter zone. DH takes things out there - I think they're "gone" but they're still lurking in the shed!!!
