    The kitchen floor looks SO much better now it's had a proper wash. I've hoovered it again, and also emptied 3 shelves from the bookcase and dusted and wiped the shelves. I need to dust and sort the books as I put them back, as there are a few in there that I've realised I'll probably part with (left to me by my godmother, but I've read them all and they're not ones I'm going to be reading again...)

    Still no sign of my laptop...

    Where does all the paper come from :confused::confused: I've got another waste paper basket full of it in my study to get rid of...

    Those shelves should be dry by now, so back to the sitting room to sort & dust books...
