It's Twelfth Day today (Sunday 6th January), which means that if you haven't taken down your Christmas decorations as yet, and you're not planning on doing so today, you could be in for some bad luck! For it is a belief in many countries that it is unlucky to leave decorations up after today.
However, having taken down my Christmas tree and wreath yesterday, we were left with, frankly, a very sad-looking living room. No more twinkling lights; no more shiny baubles; just an empty space where that tempting stack of presents once sat. And, is that a scuff on the wall? Will that infernal tap ever stop dripping? How long have those bathroom tiles needed re-grouting? Suddenly all of your house's little imperfections, formerly hidden or ignored because who wants to think about DIY over Christmas? are literally waving at you, begging to be sorted.
But what to do if you're not a DIY-enthusiast? Simple – ask one of Bishop's Stortford's recommended tradespeople to help!
