You know your batteries need charging when you start sleeping at 10pm on Friday night, wake up at midnight and realise you’re not in bed but in fact sleeping in front of QVC’s Creative Cards hour, then go to bed and sleep until 11am.

And if you want to do an extended, ghoulish Bucks Fizz style dewrap of your zombie bandages.
