In an effort to distract ourselves from life's traumas, we threw ourselves into work yesterday. That sentence is actually too ridiculous for words because it makes it sound like most days are quiet and we just choose when to work... when anyone who knows the Moregeous lifestyle knows that most days there is barely time...

My WestFest 2010, dedicated to Mrs Burton Road at Didsbury Life x
I can now breathe a huge sigh of relief that the madness of the last few weeks has subsided. Phase 1 of Project Green Tea was completed in time for the revellers at WestFest 2010 this weekend to gaze (I hope admiringly) through the window at the changes which have already taken place. Major extra... Continue Reading →

Not even the drizzle could dampen our spirits this afternoon as Helen from Didsbury Life and I visited all the fantastic bars and restaurants on West Didsbury's Burton Road to ask if they'd join us and take part in Earth Hour 2010 next Saturday, 27th March. Between 8.30 and 9.30pm, individuals, businesses and even whole cities... Continue Reading →
Should one strip on a Sunday?!
Paint strip, you pervs!! It's a day of rest of course, in most people's lives, but I was wide awake at 7am and bored by 9. As I faced the depressing prospect of showering in my hideous unrenovated bathroom after finishing the gorgeous Liner Luxury period bathroom yesterday, I wondered what little thing I could...
