I am {{so}} happy that there isn't as much damage as you originally thought, and am praying that your precious goodies will survive. If you need anything *Australiana* replacing just give me the nod and I'll see if I can find *whatever* for you.<br /><br />Lots of love to you darling lady!<br />Hugs!

I'll definitely use that one! When our boys hit their teen years they often bought shirts like shirts their father had (don't ask me why!) only in different sizes, I used color coded hangers to prevent mix-ups. Always worked great.
