One of the smaller Moregeous one bedders came up for rent the other week, it's that spring / early summer time of year when people decide to move home / job / partner 🙂 Great for them, pain in the arse for us landlords! I did it up in 2005, my post-Beeny stage, when I'd... Continue Reading →
Property Fire!! Errrr, no, just a cremated chicken actually.
I thought it was my alarm going off at 7am this morning which is no good on a Saturday, but after I'd blearily knocked it off the bedside table the buggar rang again - "Sian, it's Thobe, I think there's a fire in Flat 1, our place is full of smoke." OMG, never has a... Continue Reading →
Property: a collapse with Ikea exhaustion
Even I, with my honed-over-years-Ikea-stamina, gave up last night and collapsed back in the waiting room in Ashton.

You've seen the before images of the current destruction, but I though I'd give you a little taster... Continue Reading →
Property: PS Pendel grandfather clock finds a hallway home
The good news - finally got that fab Ikea PS Pendel clock I've been loving for a while! It's been grandly positioned in the hallway of the three bedder I rent out as the space sorely needed something cool to brighten it up. The bad news - bloody tenants aren't making up their minds this... Continue Reading →
Video: Launching Ikea Rooms and who lives in them!
Well, there's no getting away from it now, I can never show my face in Ikea Warrington again. I was so loyal, where did it all go wrong? I got used to the layout at Ashton, met Sally in kitchens and went along to the new room set reveals, that's what happened!! So, it's Ashton... Continue Reading →
