WAdvent 11 Dec open post prompt: Recycle Title: take the title of a favourite carol or holiday film and use it as your inspiration.

It began in spring with a Post-it on the fridge reading simply: DON'T. John didn't and found something from the cupboard for breakfast.

The notes grew less terse that summer: CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. He wisely stayed away.

They expanded over autumn and into winter.

Kitchen table: VOLATILE EXPERIMENT. John guessed, but appreciated the warning.

Bathroom mirror: WILL REPLACE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH. He supposed mouthwash would do today.

Sitting room: AVOID SOFA. DON'T TELL MRS H.

Mantelpiece: TOXIC FLOCKING POWDER! DO NOT INHALE!

Lestrade read the latest warning. "Since when is Sherlock so considerate?"

John smiled. "Since he fell in love, actually."
