A cream cracker under the settee is about an old lady named Doris who has a little accident while trying to clean up. She falls off her footrest that she is standing on and then does something to her leg she doesn't quite know what it is but she can’t move it. She goes to many different places in the house just thinking of little things and whenever she has the chance to get help she just lets it slip away.

   I think that the setting should be quite small but roomy enough for an old lady to get around without knocking her self or falling over something. I think that the settee should be opposite the fire so that she can keep warm when it is winter, I also think that it should be I view with a window so she can look outside whenever bored, or just to see what is happening out side. The fireplace I think should be near the far wall, this choice only because it is where my fireplace is and also my Nan’s. I think that the wallpaper should be something like flowers in a bright but dull colour this because I think that old people tend to like things like that, and also I think that bright colours bring a warm feeling into the room. I think the colour of the settee should be brown to go with the wallpaper. I also think that the sofa should be soft and cushiony so it isn’t to hard for her.

     I think that the time of year should be autumn coming on winter this because the fire is on. Also because I think that the day went very quick and normally around winter time the day is quick, I say this because first she is dusting this is in the morning and when the boy is taking a pee on her plants it is afternoon and soon after that she is talking to the policeman through her letterbox it is the evening.

     I think I would tell Doris to wear a cleaning suit of some ...
