Thanks all,
This gives me a good start, I think I will just get cron to do it at a certain time of

Well, why not store the item's in the session-var? When the session dies because of
timeout or user-intervention, the items dissapear too.
Or store a timestamp along with the items, and refresh the timestamps as needed. Then

I guess you will need to have a script sunning after a specific period of
