As you might know by now (or not and that’s OK) I’m all about making things and fixing things and reusing things. That kind of thing! Anyway, recently our iRobot Roomba started clicking when he was working and he kept getting ‘Error 2’. (If you have a Roomba, I bet you said it in the […]
The 27th January this year marks the 10 year anniversary of living in our house so as a treat (and because we finally found the one we wanted at a price we liked) we are doing a quick vintage lounge update with a lovely GPlan unit. Unlike most of my friends we have taken our […]
