We don’t need to tell you that it’s cold. You know that already if you’re living in the UK. The mild temperatures of October and November seemed to have tricked many of us into thinking it was going to be a mild winter… how wrong we were. It might not have gotten to the unbearably cold temperatures of last year but the winter looks set to pick up its pace this December and last long into January. Icy roads, hailstorms, 70mph gale force winds, hard rain, you name it we’ve got it to look forward to. And it’s only going to get worse. Read more
Although January is notorious for being the most depressing time of the year, it could actually be one of the most perfect times of year for investing in the home improvements you need.

Christmas is coming and the geese are getting fat. When Christmas comes around, the attic is usually the place where all of the presents are hidden away from the prying eyes of children and nosey family members. Lofts are used as the storage space for those special Christmas presents, but when Christmas has been and gone, the loft is forgotten about again.

Or it even becomes the place where our unwanted gifts, old clothes and other forgotten knick-knacks sit for months or years without a single thought from us. Read more
