Easy one to start the week.
Overusing it can be dizzying (11)

What start?! Today is the last working day of this week...

Is using anagram solvers considered cheating? I knew the clue but did not know the word itself so ended up using a solver.

My take on it is that it's cheating, but I do use an anagram solver in setting clues.

I sometimes use anagram generators ( I did today ) to help me set clues , but I agree it's kinda cheating when solving them.

I do use anagram generator - it is my way to learn new words when I spot the clue but can't figure out the answer... But do not post the answer if I solved it that way...

I'll confess that I've used an anagram solver a few times. If I know how to derive the solution, I don't want to waste time on an anagram. But since the consensus seems to be that this is cheating, I will desist.
Curiously, I've never used an anagram generator while setting one. I didn't even know that such a thing existed. Sure, there are ones that generate a list of all "subwords", but that strikes me as almost useless. I'd want one that generate sets of subwords that use up the original letters.

Why would you need one. Just read Griffs answer that is always posted three hours before I wake up. Much easier that way !!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Well you thought wrong - that expression isn't used much over here.

I just learned recently that optometrists use:
Dextro/D for right eye
Sinister/S for left eye

Got out of bed at 06:00, grabbed the laundry baskets, made and drank my ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
Brushed teeth, had a shower, loaded the washing machine.
"Odd." I thought. "That felt like there was a lump in that load."
About to press "Start" when I thought I'd just check to be on the safe side.
And found my phone in the washer ... 
Don't think that would have helped it much, even with the antivirus liquid I wash Herself's clothes in (Old Folk Homes are breeding grounds for nasties like Norovirus, nearly as bad as Primary schools).
Let's try being awake next time, eh Griff?
