It's ok, I have found out what they are, yukkkk they are Carpet Beetles. I did notice their larvae which I have since identified on the the Google images, saw these a few months ago on the walls too. Looks like some serious hoovering for me, as if I didn't do enough as it was!!

I'd also get advice about using a pesticide too, as that may be the only way to get rid of them totally. Check out this site. http://tinyurl.com/6v69n and scroll down the page, or this one which gives you an idea where they came from in the first place and how to get rid of them! http://tinyurl.com/6lkbh
