Yesterday my new  computer arrived . A new shiny laptop from HP . It was ordered from the website with the help of a salesman .  It took four separate visits  to actually purchase this computer . The first time it was on sale it was not in my budget .

Living in a condo apartment or a smaller house can make it challenging to keep your place clutter-free. Initially, we all have neat and adorable places, but with time, we tend to accumulate more items that we use daily.
