I collect up all the toys...

Then I collect up all the toys, then I collect up all the toys. Then i put the toys in a box, then I put the toys back into the box, then I put the toys back into the box. 

Eventually I was able to get everything off off the floor so I could hoover and then clean the carpet. I only have a spot cleaner as we don't have room to store an upright but it works, just takes a bit longer. 

After a while the small boy came up stairs and said wow. I am not sure if I should be pleased that it looks nice or offended. Its been messy for a while but I do hoover regularly. 

I have another three bags ready for charity.
