    Better to feel inadequate than to be in hospital...or worse.

    If you're going to pull out on a car on a roundabout then drive like a nutter it's probably a good idea not to be related to the person you pulled out on.

    Jazee that's terrible, OH and I were actually talking about this today with the job he does. We both agreed it's better and more mature to let the person take what they want than to try and stand your ground and end up in a worse position. I hope his work are understanding.

    I have finished my bedroom declutter, it feels smashing to have so much cupboard space. One more wash load in. With big one being away I realised I haven't actually been downstairs much since Friday except for to cook and eat. Guess that changes tomorrow.

    Ceiling first - I hoover mine but you could use a sheep on a stick
    Dust/wipe/hoover or take outside and shake the light shade, wipe the bulb (check it is cool first)
    Curtains and cushions either hoover them, take them outside and shake and bash them or give them a wash all depending on car instructions.
    Dust behind the radiator - put an old sock on a a sturdy stick if you don't have a radiator brush.
    Dust the bedframe.
    Pull out any furniture you safely can and hoover behind it, dust the walls, wipe the skirting boards and replace
    Wipe any doors, skirting and furniture with a damp cloth
