On another note, as part of the preparations for having people over, I've been unpacking boxes. Some of which hadn't been unpacked since the previous move. I've found lots of scrummy fabric that I hadn't remembered I had, and a couple of boxes full of clothes (mostly old teeshirts and things passed on from my elder sister as she outgrew them) that I've been vaguely wondering what happened to them for the last 2-3 years.
