    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    We have too many doors. Even downstairs there's 2 in the living room, 3 in the kitchen, 3 in the hall way. Then 2 doors to outside on the back and one on the front to outside.

    Then upstairs for each bedroom there's a the bedroom door, 3 x walk in cupboard doors spread along and a smaller door. Then the bathroom door and toilet door and each of these have walk in cupboard doors and small doors. Plus boiler room door and a small door. The whole landing is basically full size doors along both sides :rotfl: Means we don't really need any wardrobes/toy storage etc though.
