“Could a tradie could SAVE your marriage!?” Really? How so? Hey, don’t get me wrong, I’ve met some good tradies across our reno projects.

Have I told you that we’re using more colour than ever in this house!? I think they must have changed the coffee granules at The Tuckshop cos Bonnie has gone a bit colour crazy.
