Has anyone found the $3,000 I left on the desk?  It was there when Lady Weeble supervised the maids.

 I'm sure the Royal Banker has put the money safely in the vault, Your Majesty!  :angel:

I gather Dells are good, not just the monitors! Sadly, just got an Asus X54H laptop.  :include:

Dell computers suck, mainly.

A picture for the legs and tail men on the board.  Enjoy.

Not today, but, recent enough, a former neighbour on  my doorstep. With two HUGE bags of carefully folded clothes. She had been clearing her daughters wardrobe.

My girls happily shopped in what she left at our place. Both ended with a couch filled with clothes. Some hardly worn. My oldest discarded 5 pairs of jeans either for not fitting or ugly, and still got 4 pair out of the bags that were just right.

Think I kept around 50 litre of folded clothes, and, have about 30 litre of folded clothes ready to get to the thrift shop.
Somehow perfect High School Musical and Hanna Montana shirts were not to my daughters liking.  :laugh: I won't complain.

Just found a kettle in our dustbin that works fine! Which I don't need but I'll see if anybody else here wants it.

Found one of my Snap-On ratchets I thought I lost.
I have a snap-on tool box in my back room,  filled to the brim with snap-on tools :2thumbsup:
