Brass instrument lessons are held every week at school but, so far, Laura hasn't had to bring one home.

Instruments and amps, computers, a bed, etc.

Was raring to go, decluttering and reorganising. Not reorganising too much though, as we want to move out of here as soon as we find somewhere that suits.

Maybe it is time to find a new home.
I have been a member of this forum for almost 4 years.....it will be four years on the 22nd of October.
I have enjoyed being a part of this community. I have shared things about myself, about my family and about my daily life.
I have made some good friends...some of them I have never seen, but still feel they are friends.
These friends have boosted me on my damp grey days, they have laughed with me, and sometimes cried with me.
I have experienced(second hand, I know) some of the sadnesses gone through by other members.
It has been like a family to me.
I believe that the contributions I have made to the forum have been valid and have sometimes made for interesting...
