    The thing that changed my mind on this was walking past a car on our estate that broke down the year before last and has been left there - its now full of dirty old sun loungers and random tat. Which wouldn't bother me too much (my car is full of bits and pieces too, most are :o) but its also covered in rust, flat tires, the road underneath it is a mess where the rust seems to be dripping in the rain. It's basically making the place look a total mess, and any car that isn't driven regularly will do the same eventually.

    A falling down garden shed will have a similar effect. Like us and all our possessions, maintenance is usually required to maintain a pleasing aesthetic. :)
    After all, would you walk past a woman wild dirty unkempt hair, and then vote for all women shaving their heads simply because this one woman didn't make her hair look nice or cared for?

    I live in a 3 storey house, our front door is first floor with 13 steps leading to it. When mine were small I'd sit one child on my hip and pull the pram up behind me. Getting back down I'd have child on hip and bump it down. I managed without a problem through 2 children.

    These days our wheelie bins are stored first floor so we have to bump those down the steps on bins day. It's challenging, but worth it for the views we have I guess :)

    Have you seen the new backpack buggies btw? I'd have bought one of these in a heartbeat when mine were toddlers!
