Actually, it's worse than I said (only just awake and mis-read the directory).

3rd February
 --------------------- Disk Space Begin ------------------------ 

 Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
 /dev/sda5             7.8G  5.6G  1.9G  75% /
 /dev/sda7              33G   13G   21G  38% /home
 /dev/sda2             8.8G  7.7G  1.2G  88% /mnt/win_c
 /dev/sda3             2.0G  375M  1.6G  19% /mnt/win_d
 
now
 Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
 /dev/sda5             7.8G  5.9G  1.6G  79% /
 /dev/sda7              33G   33G  197M 100% /home
 /dev/sda2             8.8G  7.7G  1.2G  88% /mnt/win_c
 /dev/sda3             2.0G  375M  1.6G  19% /mnt/win_d

so I'm looking for something really big in /home

KdirStat tells me where I can reclaim some useful space, but the directory it 
lists as the biggest user is one of my music directories, where nothing has 
been added since Christmas, so that's not what I'm looking for.

I run tmpwatch weekly, both on my user and root tmp directories, so they never 
get big.
