Pressing red turns the power off? Err… not most of the time…

One of the comments that I occasionally hear about the red button is how people turn the TV off! Because, of course, most remotes have a red button to put them in standby.

Finding a builder for the bathroom

Posted on 18 June 2009 in House, Internet

As I mentioned the other day, we’ve just had our bathroom done. It was, I must confess, something we’d put off for some time. That and the kitchen too. Both really needed doing when we moved in back in 2004, however we didn’t have the money at the time and over the months and years we just got too used to the way everything was. Eventually I put my foot down and decided that we just had to get at least one - and preferably both - done. I decided on the bathroom as technically it should be a simpler project (well one where there was less for us to decide…)
