Actually, if I was to talk to many of H’s old friends, they’d probably all say the same thing about him as well. He’s cutting off a lot of his old friends – of course, the few that I know and that have spoken to me since BD aren’t too worried about it as they disagree with what he did, and is still doing, to his M and his family. I’ve told them that I’m moving on with my life and if he wants to catch up at some point, that’ll be up to him, but that I do appreciate their support smile.

I could bring some of the empty packing boxes in from the garage where they’ve been since we moved into my dad’s place, but then I’d just have to deal with them until he decides what he is or isn’t taking. I did get him to go through one pile of clothing – told him the charity pick-up is this week so I needed to know if any of them could be donated – but he was more interested in spending time with S13 (for a change) .

And you know how I feel about contractors these days... ahem.... sick eek

Hmmm, Mike Holmes for the inside and Charlie Dimmock and the Ground Force team (if they'd travel from the UK that is) for the yard??? I know your feelings about contractors MH, but just think what a TV crew could do for your place wink

Kind of like it being easier to help someone with their sitch than to take your own advice when it comes to your own? smile

Perfection is over-rated MH smile.
