MY "better half" gives two simple pathological (not ecological) tips to help save her sanity (50 ways to help save the planet, Aug 28):

1. Use Adam Trimingham to clean our home rather than doing it manually. It can be just as effective (see tip 20).

2. Use Adam Trimingham to wash our clothes, rather than by hand. It is easier. (see tip 21).

My "not so better half" has but one last tip to save her sanity (see tip 50):

3. Use Adam Trimingham to clear out our loft, rather than me and take away that large cardboard box to its final resting place (the tip).

This will prove beyond all reasonable doubt we are pathological to the end.
