I got a 5 but there is a glitch on the question about female scientists, I put in an answer (no spoilers though) and it came up that I'd put in a different answer (which was wrong)
I've been spending too much time on t'internet this week when I've been having a rest from door sizing/hanging (its an oldish house and none of the frames are square or in true)

I hate that job even when the frames are true(ish) couldn't imagine doing it in in an old house, I would have rather stood on the street corner to earn enough money to pay somebody, well done.

The house isn't that old (1950 ex-council semi) but it was slapped up in a hurry rather shoddily built. I'm changing the doors because Maz's ex-husband had a 'novel' approach to glossing, never mind not sanding them down I don't think he even wiped them with a cloth. The alternative of stripping each door of paint and starting again would be even more work and the doors still wouldn't look much when finished.
The actual work of fitting of the doors ain't that bad (City & guilds qualified Cabinet Maker) but doing them with my dodgy broken mended leg is pretty painful cos I can only stand up for about a total of 3 hours in a day, but at least when they are finished I know that it will be able to be re-painted properly at any time in the future (we don't ever intend to move) and the doors I chose (Wickes 'Shaker' panelled doors) seem decent quality and don't look 'wrong' in the house.
I'm now at 4 done 2 to go.
