I wrote a week or so ago about all things sweet and welcoming for my new tenants and they went down VERY well, as you can tell from a couple of lovely texts I received: "Hi Sian, just got home to find the absolutely gorgeous cupcakes you left, thank so much, I love them! Can't... Continue Reading →

Where was I, oh yes, and when I ran it I used to try and make the whole subject more interesting (i.e. bribe... Continue Reading →

Someone just told me it was Sunday, which means a whole weekend has gone by without me even noticing. Stuck in this bloody office for two days.
