I have honestly never seen anything as ridiculous as this in my whole life. Speaking as a lady builder who spent months on frozen roof slates last winter, this daft woman isn't an artist, she's just another attention seeker using the same old cheap method to grab headlines.

I haven't seen this done anywhere else and am very excited... Continue Reading →
I love that my tenants (most of them) use our recycling bins but a little bit of retraining is required this week.
