I had my sister in law over to stay this weekend, just as I got back from 2 weeks' camping; as usual, Ruth had swanned off down to Stafford to stay with her boyfriend, and all she had done in her old room after I messaged her the day she was going to tell her of the visit, was clear a bit of the floor by neatly arranging shoes. (not that I didn't ask her a month ago to start sorting it). And all this in her old bedroom. There is NO way she is going to inhabit 2 rooms, just to keep her new one looking pretty, so I emptied the floor and drawers (and what was on top of them) into her new room, then I photographed the mess on my phone and sent her the pic!
There is still a lot more to get out of the old room, but what I did made it usable as a guest room for a not too particular guest.

Ruth's reaction was conspicuous by its absence!

However, I did find that my "bloke who 'does'" had reroofed my shed and made me a new door for it while I had been camping in Scotland, and all the gear was out of it. I now have a pretty light green metal roof on it! Looks quite smart.
Still got all the pile of stuff for the boot fair in the hall as I haven't been around to do it. (When I get back from Whitby, perhaps...)
