The ceiling is an original feature of the room in this Grade II* 16th Century listed building.

Please can anyone suggest the best method to deep clean, what I think, are porcelain floor tiles? They have a textured finish and ad we live beside a beach, dirt, dust and sand easily lodge and make the tiles look constantly grubby and generally filthy. I have tried conventional mops, scrubbing on my hands and knees which isn't ideal! Any suggestions, recommendations greatly appreciated!

Weekly? Oh, how I wish it were only weekly. I'm out there nearly every day culling the three-cornered leek that has reappeared as a thick blanket despite me culling it in the first spring I was here, in my new house, then finding it had reappeared hugely aggressively last year and now, in my third spring, it's even thicker and even more widespread - and is now not only in the flower beds but also in the lawn, thick along the edge, scattered within it. Front and back. It takes about two hours to clear about a square yard - digging under the bulbs; banging off the (very good, I've been told) soil in which there are always several earthworms which I need to hang on to (obviously); then picking out the tiniest bulbs left behind. I don't think I can ever finish it this year - as happened last year - which means the problem will go on for decades. I don't really have the time (I need to work, I need a life beyond digging and clearing). The only solution I can think of is to bring in help but my budget won't allow that. I value having lawn so paving it over isn't an option. I will have less planting space, which will eventually mean less weeding, but it's not something I can do right now - I've too much to do to bring the indoors up to date. I disagree with Jo DP. The previous owners had a keep it wild policy and now I have this big problem with a massively invasive plant. And, yes, I have tried using it in recipes - it really isn't worth the effort of keeping it under control (to have a limited supply). I'm an experienced and adventurous cook and three-cornered leek is an overrated ingredient, even though it's free and in my garden.

Someone else gave me this advice for the size of a light fitting. Room length x width x height Ie:- 6m x 4.5m x 2.8m = 75.6 Therefore a light fitting should be 75cm or bigger for that room and therefore the ceiling rose a little bigger still

Did you love the house you bought?

For me personally if it’s a forever home I would need to love it. You obviously don’t need to love what it looks like now but have a vision of what you’d do with it and as colourhappy said consider location, aspect etc. Our first house was purely the best of what we could afford in the area for school. The only thing I missed when we moved was a blossom tree! Our second (current) house we absolutely love however it’s not without its flaws which we were probably blinkered to. We have been looking to move recently but even with an increased budget we can’t find anything that comes close to the actual house. I’m sure the absolutely perfect house doesn’t exist (or in budget) so just wondering if you’d made a list of what’s really important to you? I don’t know your age either but I guess priorities change as you get older. colourhappy we looked in your area online and let’s just say we’d need to downsize 😂
