Thanks for the many suggestions of applications and approaches. The
next step for me is to take each one and do some further research and
make a decision.
If it would be useful, I'm happy to post back once I've done so and

Whatever script or method you decide on, just remember that hard

mother probably wouldn't mind you picking one up/dropping another off
one or twice a month.
