Do you consider your handwriting to be neat or untidy? I have always very been lucky because I have been told my handwriting is very neat. When I first was learning to do what the teachers called joined up writing, I really stuggled to get the letters right, but once I persevered everybody told me my handwriting was really neat. I was even entered in a National handwriting competition when I was only ten and won second place, so I suppose there opinions must have been right.

just wondered what your views are on this?

No it should be a shared chore

Do you do your own decorating? My husband and myself have always done our own decorating and we love to be able to sit back once it is finished and take pride in what we have managed to achieve. The trouble is when you do your own you know where any little mistake are and you become too much of a perfectionist. We once got a few quotes a few years back to have our lounge, hall and stairs done and the prices quoted were so extortianate we have still carried on doing our own.
