 SEARCH SITE  

A quick guide to the contents of each room

There are over 900 pages on this site covering a diverse range of subjects.  These have been split up into 14 different rooms in the hope that this will make it easier for visitors to find what they want. Some are fairly obvious e.g. cleaning/stain removal will be in the Utility Room, anything to do with cars, transport etc., will be found in the Garage whilst parenting and child related topics are in the Nursery.  Some things maybe a little harder to define, below you will find the location of some of the more obscure items. 

 EXAMPLES

The spareroom covers all those things which do not fit comfortably in other rooms. 

This room includes all Christmas, Wedding and Gift related features.

As there is no bedroom in the Hints and Things house you have to visit the Spareroom  for information, hints and tips on subjects such as bed linen, beds, bed frames, mattresses, soft furnishings, blinds, decor, rugs, flooring but it also covers shopping, gifts and many other subjects. 
 

More information, hints and tips on home improvement can also be found in the Workshop. 
 

The workshop is home to crafts and hobbies as well as anything to do with home improvements, home/business security and DIY.
