Fairynuff Darien the vacuum mop will wait as will the vacuuming too !!!!!!!!! Its not as if you have wee kids running round and making a mess daily !! Stop fretting over it ! I cannot understand why you do vac. every day except maybe because your dogs make a hairy mess





(((((((((((((((((((((Darien )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Your sleeping habit is sounding like mine too Darien ! Except I don' t get up for the loo so much, maybe once BUT I do get up to straighten my hip / leg sometimes lately ! AND yes it takes me ages to get back to sleep so I resort to my ABC thing.... I have mentioned it before .... 5 things ... Country, capital, boys name, girls name and a vege / flower . Starting with A and going through the alphabet ! Sometimes I Do go off on a tangent and think of other things but sometimes it sends me back to sleep ! AND I do have a lovely, comfy bed too !
NO Linda, I do not have much decent storage here in this granny flat. We do have a double cupboard in the passage / hallway and it contains the washing machine and vac. plus my linen and JOHN's 'stuff' on the floor bit ! Plus spare pillows and MY ..errrrrrrr boxes of photos and boxes of stuff

Loads of boxes still up in the loft space in the studio ! IF I had an outdoor Roof over the deck then I do have 2 sets of drawers in the studio and I could keep lots of things in them ...even outside !!!!
