    OK. In my HHC I dusted & polished LR, washed out food bin, cleared worksurfaces on one side of kitchen, wiped hob, wiped microwave, put away stuff from draining board, washed up remaining saucepan & started on the hotspot in the LR.

    I am having a cuppa now, and will carry on sorting the hotspot
