back of the sofa

I do know that the person observing me tomorrow isn't going to be running her finger along the top of the picture shelves. But the house is disgusting, so I am having to make some kind of effort. For some reason this seems to include clearing down the back of the sofa and disinfecting the bin. These jobs probably ought to be done more than once every 5 years right? I so hate cleaning. Anyhow, as I only have 2 hours left before the kids return and have barely scratched the surface, I am of course procrastinating by sharing the treasure trove with you.
The coins were mainly chocolate (without the chocolate still in them) tho there was £1.02. A video game cartridge might be well received, and I'm always happy when a pen turns up as I get through so many. It was mainly unpopped popcorn kernels and fluff, to be honest. Maybe I should do the 2 chairs as well. Or maybe I should just get on with the basics... Or hire a cleaner.
Hope any rummaging in the deep crevasses of your soul today turns up shiny useful things rather than detritus. I'm back to actual cleaning. Honest.

The kitchen's a bit less grimy now. Hurrah. Grateful for all the cheering on I get - I've even been asked two of the questions from my first blog of the day. Didn't work when I tried it on a child tho. I like this pic lots:
