Inspired by the AWFUL landlords on last week's Panorama, we've been busy catching up on all the little jobs and to-do's for our rentals this week. Ok, I've been in the office doing the accounts but also making lists as Mr M valiantly works through them. God, I love him. As a 'Happy Halloween' and... Continue Reading →
Design: Hotel bathrooms – why so little thought?
Why is it that, unless you're staying in a eye-wateringly expensive boutique venue, hotel bathrooms are so relentlessly poor in the UK? When Head Office allocates the budget, £x for glossy brochures, £x for fancy foyer, £x for bland corporate decor, what voice in their head says Naaaaaa, don't bother putting any real thought into...

Working from home = domestic goddess
One of the benefits of working from home all day is that you can do something a little more constructive with your breaks than what is the home-workers equivalent of hanging round the water cooler, surfing the Daily Mail TV&Showbiz page.

Project Green Tea – Launching a fab West Didsbury collaboration
Being self-employed can sometimes be a fairly solitary experience, so sometimes it can be great to be part of a team.

Reviews: A Bathroom Quartet at the Manchester CP Hart launch
It's not often you find a cellist in your bath but if I'd have consumed anymore of the delicious cocktails at CP Hart 's Manchester launch last night, I may well have fancied having a go with a fiddle in the shower myself 😉 What an evening - scrumptious nibbles, champagne tasting, sumptuous bathrooms, wine flowing...
