Sitting back in Manchester on my sofa, the last two weeks seem a bit surreal..... did we actually attempt to transform a complete wreck of a house in just fourteen working days??!!!

Half Built House checks out some interior Devon delights
I spent a couple of hours on a final inspiration mission this week, leaving the guys beavering away on site whilst I explored a fab little area of Exeter called Magdelene Road.

The poor car needed some attention this week so we nipped it up to Blackburn to our fav mechanic and en route stopped for lunch at one of my old haunts, the Clog & Billycock. It's been gastro-pub-ified... Continue Reading →
Wise words and women’s workwear
Following our great news about Channel 5, my lovely sister sent me a congratulations card which was ironically appropriate given that I opened it at the same time I plonked my new, long searched for and already adored size 4 work boots on the kitchen table! Somehow, I don't think those were the kind of... Continue Reading →
