Total mixed bag on @qvcuk this am, but all really useful products and tools for around the home. Looking forward to working with @catherinehuntleytv for the first time. Should be a good show. #toolsforthehome #diyonsunday #qvcuk #handyproducts #usefultips #goodvalue

Drilling into tile is quite an intimidating task.

Drilling into tile is quite an intimidating task. But take the right steps and it needn’t be so daunting. As with all DIY you need the right tools.
-
-
-
-
Use a specific tile drill bit or a masonry bit.
-
Put masking tape over the tile to stop the drill bit slipping.

Go slow! The drill will skid over the tiles if you start out fast.

Be careful when you are coming to the back of the tile, if it’s plasterboard and a hollow wall behind you may meet little resistance quickly and can smash the drill against the tile.

Top tip - to avoid drilling dust going everywhere, fix an envelope with masking tape under the area you want to drill. #drillingintotile #drillskills #diy #diyprojects #bathroomdecor #diytips #kitchenmakeover #tooltips #diyideas #diyskills

It’s a week ago that we moved house and it’s certainly been a change. It’s been tough going from a house that was beautiful and recently done up to a house that hasn’t been touched in years.

-
-
The decor in the old house was modern and fresh, in the new house it’s dated and stale. But that being said the house itself is amazing and the potential is so exciting.

I can’t wait to bring new life into this house with a refurb in the future but for now we just bring love into it.

Transitions are hard. But doing hard things is good for you! Here are some pics of what we have transitioned from and to.

So to our house...

When we moved here we said we’d be here for 5-10years. We moved here in July 2010, and here we are in July 2020 moving out (15days shy of our 10year anniversary).

My friend @olahotson will be impressed with this level of life planning.

In that 10years we have done a small refurb (which was actually quite a big refurb) and a huge refurb (which was actually an extension).

The house is unrecognisable from the property we first bought. But this is our pattern, move, improve, move again improve again. Can’t wait to start transforming the next house.

I have never lived anywhere (even as a child) for as long as I’ve lived in this house. So it’s huge moving, my children grew up here, learnt to walk here, my son was born in this house. But it’s time for the next chapter, and a new adventure.

Here are some pics of our ever changing home. (The last pic is the reality of living in lockdown - so insta worthy) #eastendlife #towerhamlets #romanroad #refurbished #rennovation #extensions #victorian #openplan #victoriapark #nextadventureahead

Continuing on my Tower Hamlets appreciation journe

Continuing on my Tower Hamlets appreciation journey, here are some of the amazing independent shops and businesses that I will miss from Roman Road.
.
.
.
There is nothing you can’t buy on RoRoad and thanks to all those independent shops and business that help serve this community everyday. You rock.
.
.
.
If I have ever been stuck for a gift, or needed a really good (and I mean really good) brunch, or an outfit for school assembly in a hurry, or wanted tumeric root at 11pm at night (it happens), or need a wheel trolley for work in a hurry, or wanted take away waffles to cheer me in the middle of a lockdown slump, or need to stretch at the best yoga studio in town all these places and more are waiting at the end of my road.
.

Thank you for all that you do @snapstorelondon @cafeeastbow @zealandroadcoffee @movestudiolondon @hilandlondon @paradisecycles #eastlondon #towerhamlets #romanroad #e3bow #lovewhereyoulive #movingon

Stretching from The Tower of London in the West to

Stretching from The Tower of London in the West to the Bow Bells in the East, Tower Hamlets has a rich history and I am so proud to have called this wonderfully colourful borough my home for so many years.
.
.
Living here I have learnt about the Huguenots who settled at the edge of the city in The streets around Brick Lane. I have lived around the corner the worlds oldest council estate, The Boundary Estate in E2. Living on The Roman Road, has allowed me to learn about the Roman settlements at the edge of Londinium.
.
.
We house the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London and the pride of London, the magnificent Tower Bridge. We were home to the founders of shipping with the docks dotted around the borough that changed trading forever.
.
.
Home to one of Sylvia Pankhurst’s headquarters, the suffragette movement was strong in Tower Hamlets.
.
.
My uni days were spent dodging tourists who were on the Jack the Ripper tour whilst I was falling out the student union, getting crab sticks from Tubby Issacs. And drinking in the infamous Blind Begger pub which was not only the site of the notorious Krays murder but also the site of Williams Booth’s first sermon which led to the creation of the Salvation Army.
.
.
I could go on, but I am sure you’re bored to tears. Needless to say, this borough has had a very interesting history and I am proud to have been living amongst it.
.
.
Oh and the Whitechapel Bell foundry, who could forget that, famous for making the Liberty Bell and recasting Big Ben - DONG!!!! #towerhamlets #history #eastend #eastlondon #eastlondonhistory #towerbridge #thetoweroflondon #theboundaryestate #bricklane #thekrays #theblindbegger #thesalvationarmy #livinghistroy #proudofwhereilive #eastisbest

The Ying to every yang… I love the street art ar

The Ying to every yang... I love the street art around Tower Hamlets. From the amazing Graffiti in Shoreditch that people come from all over to see, to the hidden street art gems on every corner and canal wall. You can take your random tags, but there are two prolific taggers round here that make me smile. A tag that is BMG reminds me of my daughter who was nicknamed “the BMG” when she was a baby short for The Bobmaster General (thanks for that great nickname @susie_harrison) And a very prolific tagger “Ray”, the name of my son. I feel like my kids are well represented in the street art scene here 🤣🤣🤣. #towerhamlets #streetartappreciation #eastlondonlife #shoreditch #bricklane #lovewhereyoulive #movingon
