Topped up my coolant today and I've overfilled it - about 2cm above the Max line. Will this hurt?

No,nothing to worry about. The worst that will happen will be the car spitting the excess out of the overfill pipe.

At least you seem to be checking out your water level.

Millie just keeps getting forgotten about.

......but she is clean tho'!

"Just seen a sign on a door in a local restaurant.
It said 'Employees only'
Shouldn't it be more specific and say 'Employees of this place only'?"
