How to survive Robinsons Black Friday Sale

I need to get writing again before this initiative becomes yet another impulse project of mine. Over the past month after my keys collection and the restart of my delayed renovation, we were just visiting vendors week in week out shopping for our new home. And of course when mentioning shopping, we cannot ignore the…

Slide Arm

Quick update on the progress of the house. We have been busy every week since the collection of the key, from choosing tiles (will be getting to that soon) and confirming some of the appliances purchases.

There are plenty of…
