  6. Is it a good time to move house?

    Posted on

    There’s no doubt about it - the coronavirus has turned our lives upside down and some things may never return back to normal.

    For many, the lockdown has been a time of reflection, making us realise how precious our lives really are and to follow our dreams.  For some, this dream might be to uproot and move to a new location.

    The pandemic might also have changed your working life and what you value in a home.  Perhaps you now want a home with enough space for an office so you can work at home. Or a garden in case we are cooped up inside for local lockdowns or self-isolation without the ability to leave our homes.  In which case an outdoor space can be a haven!

    But, is it really a good time to move house?  Let’s take a look.

    Our fixer upper house has been a labour of love for six years now.  Upon moving in we naively thought we’d be done in a matter of weeks, but had no idea how much things cost and how long it would really take to decorate the house to our taste.  Throw in having our second baby after moving in and getting married and things took even longer than we could have ever imagined.

  94. Do supermarkets need to do more to reduce their single use plastic waste?

    Posted on

    There seems to be a huge focus on consumers making the right choices at the moment when it comes to being eco-friendly, but I really think the responsibility needs to lie more with businesses, manufacturers and the governments.  After all, they have the power to create more eco-friendly products and enforce it. 

    It always maddens me to still see non-recyclable packaging and plastics used time and time again for products.  It’s 2020 for crying out loud!  Single-use packaging, especially, that cannot be recycled should be banned.

    Do supermarkets need to do more to reduce their single use plastic waste?  Let's explore.
