[QUOTE="Japes, post: 2292148, member: 277410"] If I'm doing the "clean every slat individually" version of the blinds job, rather than a quick wipe against the window, then clean the window, I always have to take it in stages as my fingers generally don't like the fiddliness of it for too long. So, I put a couple of clothes pegs on the one I did last in the hopes they will irritate me enough to get on with the next bit sooner rather than later. Preferably before visitors comment... Given the only people who have been in the house in the last 136 days are the two piano pupils, their mum, and also back in June the boiler man, the impetus to finish some jobs has been low. However, my next house guest is far less likely to be reticent about voicing a view about clothes pegs on blinds. Or indeed may remove them without thinking they are there for a purpose! The younger piano pupil is also lacking in reticence about voicing an opinion, (and did so the first week they were there) but has been trained not to move things in my house. If, by any horrid chance, the holiday doesn't go ahead there is a plan B. [/QUOTE]
