Last weekend I made a concerted effort to free up space in the loft
office I have. You can now see the carpet again, but the cupboards are
well and truly full. Well at least now I'll have space under a desk for
the Sun 2/120 I hope to get this week :-)

I should take a picture of my loft cupboards to show just how creative
you can get with stacking machines.

I have a bit of stuff at my parents, basically stuff that I have picked
up at boot sales while I have been there and then conveniently left.
