I can have music in many rooms, via speakers in the ceiling; there are various gadgets standing in a stack in a seperate room, ready to do all sorts of wonderful things.

I'm sure it won't take you long to get back on form! I know, lots of new visitors, which is just lovely. I do hope that Son's new job will be OK! Fingers (and everything else)crossed.

Instruction manuals are often so overwhelming and the simplest instruction can be cloaked by the most complicated language.<BR/><BR/>I've got some stuff you could have taken to the tip. My eldest son, still living at home, has bought himself a new bed, but it doesn't have drawers underneath, as the last one did! It is also very close to the floor. The old drawers were FULL to the brim.
