If you’re anything like us, we only do two kinds of drive; seriously local or hundreds of miles away.

We use the car maybe once a week to drive 5 minutes down the road to…

I was recently commissioned by Bathing Solutions to give my thoughts on how we could make our little ensuite bathroom feel a whole lot bigger and how we could do that without breaking the bank. As I’ve mentioned hundreds of time on here, we are hoping to sell up the flat and buy a house as soon as possible, but we are gradually making little…
