Not massively impressed with Rip-Off Britain's advice from Trading Standards this morning on the question of what to do if a particular issue arises with your builder. Absolutely STUPID advice in my opinion, guaranteed to escalate an already problematic situation. Here's the issue: in the middle of works, you are told by your tradesman or builder...

Handcuffs, rust & some tasty snacks, just a regular landlord’s week
It's been a rollercoaster of a week this week, more so than most, with an exciting interview trip to London, two flats to sort for new tenants, a battle to come off extra strong pain killers for my bad back, an attack from a free-falling wok, a big 'do' to get ready for this weekend...

The walls (and me) come tumbling down….
There are certain things universally accepted to give most girls what can only bluntly be described as the horn. Chocolate.... expensive shoes.... champagne.... diamonds..... money......
