I DO have the loan (when Brian gets finished fixing IT!) of a full-size one too. The fingering is a bit different so that'll confuse me for awhile! Thanks, though!

Paper is what I had sorting through the most - you have to read everything!! <b>Kate</b> - I still wear some of the hippie style clothing. We have a wonderful little shop in the city which still sells all that stuff! Those lovely long embroidered Indian cotton skirts, and dresses, and shirts and blouses. Jewellery too - and even drug-related items, which are apparently legal as long as you don't actually use them! LOL! And - we still use the food mixer we got as a wedding gift in 1976! I suppose it's still going simply because we really don't use it very often. Good luck with your processor!

But on a lighter note - fuelled by your blog and my obsession with easy ways to chop mint leaves for my annual mint sauce project, I went scouting through my cupboards. And there it was - my old food processor from my wedding cake making days in the seventies!!! You should see it!! Bear in mind we only moved 6 years ago so you would think I knew it was there (must have been one of the boxes I needed to unpack). So today I have mint sauce, and am about to cook for the freezer - watch the motor burn out now. I must blog about it - oh I think I just did! :-) kates last blog post..<a href="http://www.iramble.co.uk/2008/09/a-bit-of-a-learning-curve/" rel="nofollow">A bit of a learning curve!!!</a> Oh dear its me thats the mess – I still wear the beads and I still make my own headbands too!

Jay? I'll take the Darth Vader missing a leg!! (Yes, I'm a worse packrat than you are!! But he'd go nicely at work, in the mouth of one of my skulls! :-) ) And I helped out some... relieved you of a violin! (And I'm actually taking some lessons & playing it now!! Thanks!) Um…. Jay?

We really like having two guest rooms! It's somewhere for them to crash if they need to, and it's fun having friends to stay. Some of them still have younger kids at home, so it means there's plenty of room. The hippie jewellery is just the cheap stuff. Remember those old beads which were made with ultra-thin copper wire and teeny tiny beads? I have a ton of that - all green and breaking up! Why do I still have it? :P Kate – We still have the big house, even though the boys have left home. We really like having two guest rooms!

I used to have a house with 12 rooms (yes 12!!) And every room was full. But then my son left home and my mum went into into a care home my daughter and I just rattled. So - I sold it and bought a five roomed bungalow - it all had to go and I had to move on. I kept some things that were extremely personal - things from my childhood home and when the kid were young. That was 6 years ago and I still need to go through some of the boxes in the loft! Move house - thats the answer at lest it reduces it - and ebay is great!! Can I put the first bid in for the hippie jewellery please :-) x kates last blog post..<a href="http://www.mygreyhound.me.uk/2008/08/hippies-swimwear-edition/" rel="nofollow">Hippie’s swimwear edition!!!!</a> Nice photo Jay!
