I'm making reasonable headway with DS14's room, though it looks like a tip at the moment, with piles of various categories of 'stuff' all over the room. I moved a bookcase out of his room and on to the upstairs landing yesterday, and organised all the books in the house (two bookcases upstairs and one down). We discovered we both have more books that we haven't read than we realised, so we each have a large to-read pile now

The next job is to bring upstairs the horrible ugly filing cabinet. It is currently downstairs in the hall, full of things like candles, bin bags and telephone directories. I've decided to try to find homes for those things elsewhere as then all the homeschooling paraphernalia can go in DS' room, in the filing cabinet.

I'm hoping DS may end up with enough space in his room for an armchair, as I have a spare one downstairs. It would give his friends somewhere to sit, (and probably the dog somewhere to sleep too)
