No idea if it is legal, but someone on the school run does it every day. She is foster carer for a boy with a very difficult background so I imagine someone would pick up if she shouldn't be doing it.

As expected didn't get much done.
Bathroom and kitchen had S&S. Dressing table in bedroom got tidied up. Can now see in the corner where my craft stuff is. Will try and sort it properly tomorrow.
