OK So I’ve just returned from Tesco with £50 of cleaning products. Think I may need some help here later – and I don’t mean with the cleaning!

Another sign of the maniacal things that overtake you as you try to make things ‘ordinary’. You never can, of course, but that doesn’t stop you. As I write this I still haven’t stopped cleaning and sorting. A friend’s post below the original Facebook entry told how, when his father died, he had spent two days mowing his and all his neighbour’s lawns.

Welcome to the grief bit that no-one talks about.
