Money is VERY tight at the moment, so it's back to basics, recycling and re-using. It's what I used to do, and enjoyed doing, but when life is hectic and money is easy to come by (ie cheap credit!), it's just simpler and lazier to go and buy new. I needed a mirror for Project... Continue Reading →
Pjt Cathedral – varnished 9″ white floorboards
The floorboards are varnished now, and you can see from earlier pics the difference a decent varnish gives. It is well worth paying for a good varnish, and is false economy not to.

Are we all going to end up hating banks?????
At the moment I am so frustrated with my bank, and am frankly feeling something resembling hatred. I couldn't have less respect for their customer care policies and business liaison strategies if I tried really really hard. I have lost count of the number of people who feel well and truly shafted by these, and... Continue Reading →
