Please don't taunt me :-( I have cropped spinach and rocket, and broad
beans and peas should follow shortly, but my chillis and annuals are
1" high!

Mine didn't sodding germinate INDOORS!

When you say indoors I think you mean in the greenhouse. I germinated
mine in the HOUSE. They had prime cosy positioning. Never mind people,
just keep seeds warm.
I'm lucky that now I only have myself to worry about, I can develop some
very antisocial habits!
