tidying the lounge

Not much work for [livejournal.com profile] waveney this month. We'll be moderately skint in January, but it should pick up after that. In the meantime, we're using the available time to clear out all sorts of overdue jobs. He's done nearly all the work on the tax returns (just needs a call to the Inland Revenue to do the very last bit and they aren't back at work until the 4th of January). He's fixed the leaky pipe and a host of minor jobs are starting to disappear off the list we compiled a few days ago.

I've been working on the lounge. I cleared a lot of stuff before Xmas, but today, the task got officially finished. We even emptied out the drawers of the bureau. Piles of books have been relocated, videos have found new homes, rubbish has been binned, every possible corner has been vacuumed, tatty pot plants have been disposed of, picures have been moved to hang in different places.

It's amazing, the room looks about a foot wider. There'll be lots of room for the next Silvercon...

Will I recognise it when I get there?

(Rail ticket still not bought. We got down the drive and about two metres down the road before deciding that it was too dangerous to keep walking -- snow packed down to very slippery ice does not make for easy walking.)
