    Things to Look for in a Property when you Work From Home

    05/10/2020 /

    Unprecedented numbers of us are now working from home either on a part time or full time basis. The BBC reports that home working is here to stay for the long run. I believe this is great news for workers in terms of our work/life balances – not having to commute cuts out a lot of stress from our lives, plus there is the added benefit of getting to spend more time with our families. On a personal level, having spent so much more time at home in general over the last seven months, it has made us really think about our own house and its suitability to being a…

    Are Robot Vacuums Worth It?

    29/09/2020 /

    I bought a robot vacuum cleaner in February 2020: a Eufy RoboVac 11S Max. I didn’t want to write about my experience with a robot vacuum until I had lived with it and used it for a reasonable amount of time. So here I am, 7 months later, with my thoughts. Are robot vacuums worth it? Read on for my opinion… Why did I buy a robot vacuum? I have two kids and a dog (and a husband). The amount of hair, dust and crumbs that we can collectively produce in a day is astounding. Everyone has a chore that they absolutely hate. Well, mine is vacuuming. I had heard…
