        Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

            Pulling the door 'to' in our family means, not quite closed, ie there is a gap. Leave the door 'ajar' being the same thing. Not, as my beloved says; leave it on the jar!

                  Not heard that one Denise. If it's looking like rain there's a saying "It's a bit black o'er Bill's mothers".

                  Just realised, we also pull the curtains to.

                    Wonder if the "to" is a short form of "together"?
