Identifying water pressure problems in the home.
I think we’ve all had the problem. You get up in the morning and decide to have a shower before you get ready for work, but when you turn on the shower the water is little more than a splutter or trickle, and, frustrated, you abandon the idea. Or maybe you’ve come in from work and decided to take a relaxing bath, but found the taps are refusing to give you an egg cup full of hot water, let alone a tub full. Yes, low water pressure is an annoying problem that can affect many of us, particular during times when water usage is high. But now there is a…

Art Deco style Sofas for the new season
We’ve been living in out house for 12 years this August, and despite being decorated throughout in those years, we have made a checklist of things that need buying, replacing and renovating in 2015. Our dining room needs painting and decorating, we want to revamp our bedroom (the most neglected room in our home) and we really could do with a new sofa or three piece suite. We had our current sofa just before Joe was born, so it is now 6 years old. It has been a great sofa, serviceable black leather, with a boxy, slouchy style made for covering in scatter cushions and relaxing on. But a…

My pick of the Handpicked Collection
For us ladies, and especially the mommies amongst us, the next couple of months are pretty good when it comes to receiving gifts. We have Valentine’s Day next week, and the Mother’s Day to look forward to in mid March. But it is safe to say that, sometimes, when it comes to the actual present, our menfolk need a bit of a point in the right direction when it comes to choosing something that’s a little more original than flowers and chocolates. Handpicked Collection is totally a point in the right direction. Described as an online emporium providing the ‘best of the best’, the Handpicked Collection is, as you may…

Put your love in print with Easy Art
One of the loveliest and most personal of gift choices this Valentine’s Day is the gift of Art.

Their collection ranges from classic and contemporary art work by artists ranging from Turner to Warhol, classic photographic imagery of works from the Kobal Collection and…

Febreze – The Sweet Smell of Christmas
Christmas – it’s a feast of smells isn’t it. The gorgeous scents of cinnamon and mulled wine, of chestnuts roasting on an open fire, the mouthwatering aroma of a turkey roasting slowly in the oven. The most wonderful time of the year is also the most fragrant. Yeah right, who exactly am I trying to kid? All the fragrances above are wonderful, but they are not the only smells associated with Christmas. The smell of cooking can become something you wish to escape from once you’ve had your fill of food. The aroma of sprouts is never good in my view, and once the whole family has feasted on them,…
