Very trivial questions

At 76 I can still go up and down to the loft, but that’s because many years ago dh installed extending metal stairs (not a ladder) which is easy enough to pull down and put back. Plus there’s a light switch at the top, so you can immediately see what you’re doing.

We still have too much stuff up there, though, despite having got rid of a lot when dh added more insulation some years ago.

I am 82, and I think it was a year ago that I last went into the loft. Now I am not physically fit enough.
I used to love hoing up there to see what was squirrelled away, but will leave it to the AC to investigate, if they feel the urge.

Please move on if your already sighing or going doh!

I have nearly got our bedroom to "perfect", after trying to finish the entire house.

I have two questions please.

1.There are going to be about 4 items left which are going to take me a while to decide where to put them.
But if I leave them "lying around" in the bedroom. it then encourages me to leave more things "lying around", and I dont want to go back to that sort of thing.

I tend to take a while to make my mind up on a final place to put some items[part of my problem I think].

So what do others do please?

2. I have asked this question before on another thread and one person kindly answered.
This is a question to older GNs on here, quite likely.
How old were you when it was the last time you could go up and down from the loft. Or wanted to?
We have a lot of stuff up in the loft.
I am still a younger granny currently, but I wont be for ever!

Thank you.
