It’s time to dig out the rubber gloves and abrasives and give this kitchen of ours a massive spring clean – it’s only been done once since we moved in I am ashamed to say, of course we keep it clean in general but I believe a kitchen needs a DEEP clean every so often [...]

One of the beset things about living in the USA is…the back yard pools! You don’t get those in the UK, the only people who would have pools at home would be very wealthy people and even then they would be indoor pools as the UK weather just isn’t suitable for outdoor ones. In the [...]
Décor may not seem like the most important element when building a new home, especially when a home buyer is placing the heaviest emphasis on location, price, and quality of construction.

I am thinking of getting some lovely designer upholstery fabrics and reupholstering the sofa – we bought it really cheap when we first moved in as we just wanted something, anything to sit on and it’s been good to us – it’s really comfy and everything, it just doesn’t look too nice and rather than [...]
Our Apartment Mailboxes are terrible, they are falling apart and so not secure – I am sure if someone wanted it badly enough they could reach into the gap at the back of the CBU Mailboxes and take out or male. We have told the owners of the apartments many times and they keep saying [...]
