DIY advice at Christmas

Hi Diyers,

Well at this time of year non of us want to do any DIY but as the family are coming around the Mrs has found a list of things we need to sort out.

Stuff like fixing the gate thats half rotten so the kids and dog don't get loose and then sweeping up all the leaves off the decking. How the hell does that stuff get so slippery? anyone got any good tips for cleaning decking?

Mind you the White pvcu windows are still black from when we had the new flat roof done.
I need to paint the utility room ceiling and walls again because of the leak, why is it those water stains never go.

Then theres the chimney to sweep, those chimney sweepers are so hard to find now, I am half tempted to get a set of rod and brushes and doitmyself, I wonder why DIY is called doityourself not doitmyself?

The last home improvement to be done is to draft proof the front door so Grandad doesnt complain that hes sat in a draft.

Anyway all I am off down to B&Q to get some bits and get on with it.
