Why is it so hard to find a reliable tradesperson who turns up, does a great job, and doesn't charge the earth? 😩

Back in February, I had a "brilliant" idea: leave my stressful job and run an Airbnb instead. Sounds great on paper, right?

What nobody warned me about is that dealing with tradespeople brings a whole new level of stress!

Here’s how my year has gone so far:

🔴 March: A ‘friend’ walked off the job because he took on too much. Instead of just being honest, he sparked a massive argument and bailed.

🔴 April: Hired a company https://www.facebook.com/p/BS-Exterior-and-interior-group-Ltd-61589492187028/ with glowing reviews on Mybuilder. Result? Left with unsafe work, thousands of pounds in debt, and a bruised ego after falling for a charmer’s big promises.

🔴 October: Used a local recommendation for MP Property https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61594913524071 to get the ensuite shower finished. He did part of the work, hasn't come back, and is officially ghosting me. 👻

This has been going on all year and the Airbnb is STILL not finished. FFS. I’m honestly at breaking point.

Is it just me, or is everyone dealing with this nightmare? Am I just incredibly unlucky, or have you been through the same thing?

👇 Drop your horror stories in the comments so I know I’m not alone - or even better - give a shout-out to the GOOD, honest tradesmen and women who actually show up and do the job!

Dust off your denim overalls and dig out your mixtapes, because we are heading back to the decade of grunge, rave culture and Cool Britannia! 🎸

I may be middle aged but I'll never forget the 90s! Well, what I can remember of them anyway. It was the decade that Zoe Ball and Kate Moss were my 'ladette' heroes and my inspo for partying hard, working hard.

Now we can all relive that very special decade by taking a trip to "The 90s: Art and Fashion" exhibition which has officially opened at Tate Britain! Curated by the iconic Edward Enninful OBE, this blockbuster exhibition brings together over 100 era-defining works.

From the boundary-pushing art of Young British Artists (YBAs) like Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, to the runway rebellion of Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, it is the ultimate chance to take a trip down memory lane or drink up a drop of nostalgia.

The exhibition is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00 and runs until 14 February 2027. Tickets start from £22, but you can still have a relatively cheap day out in the big smoke if you know where to go.

Free & cheap things to do nearby

• 🚶‍♂️ Take a Stroll Through the Victoria Tower Gardens (FREE): Located just a short walk up the river toward Westminster, this park offers stunning views of the Thames and the Houses of Parliament. It’s the perfect place to sit with a coffee.

• 🏛️ Explore the Rest of Tate Britain (FREE): While the 90s exhibition is ticketed, entry to the main collection at Tate Britain is completely free! Do not miss the world's largest collection of works by J.M.W. Turner or the historic British art galleries.

• 🚢 Hop on the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers (FROM £6.20): Instead of an expensive tourist cruise, hop on the river bus at Millbank Pier (right outside the museum). It’s the cheapest way to get a scenic boat ride down the Thames toward London Bridge or Greenwich!

• ⛪ Visit Westminster Abbey’s Cloisters & College Garden (FREE): While entering the main Abbey requires a ticket, the 900-year-old College Garden (believed to be the oldest continuously cultivated garden in England) is free to enter on selected weekdays.

🐾 SINGLE & LOVE DOGS? This is your sign to find love! 🐾

A brand-new reality dating series called ‘Dog Dates’ is officially casting single dog lovers in the UK, and they are looking for real people to take part!

The concept is simple: you, a fellow single dog lover, and your furry best friends enjoy a fun, relaxed blind date in a beautiful London park. 🐶

I would definitely be up for this but things are going very well with Mr Torquay (more on that soon) and Caramel has already given him her approval. ❤️

Who they are looking for:
👉 Singles aged 18+ (with a specific call-out for single guys - straight, bi, gay, or trans - aged 25 to 75).

👉 People living in or able to travel to London for filming.

👉 You don't even have to own a dog to apply - if you're a dog lover without a pup, they can arrange a friendly four-legged stand-in for your date.

The Details:
🕒 Very low time commitment (maximum 4 hours of filming, completely flexible around your schedule).

📍 Shoots are taking place in London throughout 2026.

💰 This is an unpaid, fun digital series experience for real people looking for genuine connection.

If you’re ready to see if sparks fly - or if your dog approves of your next date - give it a shot.
