Maeve, you could tape a dibber to your cast and make the holes for bulb planting... go back to the ER and ask them to incorporate a couple of gardening tools?! :D (Seriously, when a mate of mine had external metalwork holding a broken ankle together, he rigged a key holder and something to hold cutlery to it.. he could never carry his plate whilst using his crutches and not drop the cutlery)

I'd help if I could... if my numbers come up on the £85million EuroLottery tonight, I'll be with you next week!

Anyhoo... back to the loft.. yes, bed won over frosty walk to the station this morning, so later Manitas (who is suffering from Manflu and taking the day off again) and I will be off to Ikea to purchase a decent shelving system. That way, we'll actually be able to a) walk around the loft without falling base over apex over stuff and b) be able to see exactly what we have up there!
