Hi Parkesquay, thank you for your answers to both of my questions. The laminate flooring is actually in my lounge. As you say it is quite easy to keep clean, but somehow doesn't have that 'warm' feeling that carpet has. Being used to carpeting all my life I think that I probably need to give it a bit more time to get used to. We do have a large rug down and this certainly helps. As to being a party person, well sometimes - large family gatherings more nowadays.
Thanks again for your help and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
Jeanette
