Might de Christmas the house today

That’s exactly what we’re doing today. I wanted to take it all down on the 27th, but was outvoted.

We have the 18v DeWalt, I was very sceptical when the lad brought it home, but now it tends to be my go to one, especially if I out working on the cars, saves the trailing lead, but it's an as well as & not a substitute. If I was to have only one, it would be a 240v lightweight one.

Thanks for that - it confirms what I've been thinking. Ebay, here I come...

Went out to the wife's car this morning to go do a bit of shopping (getting in early before the crowds) & the battery was nearly dead, had to get the starter pack out, not too bad I suppose we've had the car 7 years & it's the first time it's let us down, new battery ordered.

Well that's all the decorations down and stashed away in the loft with my spare frames

The loft is not a sensible place for your Zimmer frame, is it?

I have purchased a Newy Ears present for myself - the Roberts CD,DAB,DAB+,FM Radio.

Yes, I know I am supposed to be at the start of down-sizing. In mitigation, it will replace a "music centre" that is err umm thirty-five years old, and one speaker no longer works. It also has a footprint of about three square feet if you include the separate speakers.

No matter where I move to, or when, I would like to have a CD player and radio. Therefore the First Directive of Size Downing has not been jettisoned.

You didn't say that you also found a penknife !

They are everywhere these days!

I've a separates system (big amp / CD / double tape / radio / blu-ray / VHS / pre-amp / turntable / etc.) that I can't remember when I last used it apart from the CD player occasionally. It puts out 1000 watts (five giant speakers) and won't go in the next house move. There's also a couple of decent micro CD/radio systems dotted about the house. They're almost as good and take up far less space.

Keep going with the down-sizing. I've some wheels to stick on eBay, having found a pair of 26" wheels with spiked snow tyres that I'd thought I'd sold - and have now sold the tyres - plus others to go on.

The down-sizing is a very long term plan.

I have found somewhere to send the old watches/jewellery. The Alzheimer's Society have a free post address.

It is surprising how getting rid of a few big items is creating space. The next stage is to delete the memory from a very old laptop.

Why do kettles develop faults so quickly? I keep one as a spare which is thirty years old. New ones stop working properly after about two years.
