Kat,

Thought I could find me old mate Dave Jordan's words to describe your mum - alas - I couldn't, either on the net or in the paper files. It was a great song describing his mum, written ca 1965. So, alas, katsweetart, all I can give for this thread, is the chorus....

Never get rid of anything,
Never throw nothing away
If you just hold on long enough to anything
It may come in handy some day

The guts of the story was, that having filled all the rooms with newspapers and clippings (etc) All that was needed at the end was a "Handiman" to get into the house - it's a worry katart

LOL - Sam
