    Oh that's better - dining room looks much better - things have been put where they should go, newspapers in car to take to school for 'old newspaper' box - I seem to be the only one who keeps them.. Wish people would not put used papers back in the box, though...
    Cleared maiden of towels (airing in window as left them out too late yesterday and they didn't feel properly dry) and have refilled with 'new' ironing inc DDs duvet cover.
    Put things to recycle in correct receptacle.
    Dried some pots and put away, washed rest of them.
    Will mend DDs trousers now.
