A client recently asked me what I was doing over Easter and I told them I was helping my friend house sit 10 minutes from the city. They replied ‘well a change is as good as a holiday’. I asked the client what they were doing over Easter, which brought a response I have heard often - ‘catching up on things at the office, there is too much to do’.

My wife and I had an extremely frustrating experience recently.
She has been at me for ages to build some cabinets and shelves around the TV in our kitchen area. We debated the matter for a long time (being a simple bloke I didn’t think we needed them in the first place), but once I had conceded the point we discussed exactly what we wanted in terms of design, layout, colour and budget. We were very clear on what we wanted especially considering it had to blend with existing cabinetry in the same area.
