    True to expected Bank Holiday form, the weekend was spent on a DIY project. However I wasn’t out spending my hard earned cash on flock wallpaper (at £50 a roll) but instead a project to save us a material amount of £ each year as well as providing some fresh healthy food. With the fish given…

    Inspired in part by MMMs recent post about electricity consumption I decided to re-search UTMT Towers in search of any excessive drains on power in an effort to save some money/waste. In the back of my mind there was something that I’ve been meaning to take a look at for some time…. When we moved…

    This year I’ve avoided setting too many ‘boring’ New Year resolutions.

    I am well known amongst family and friends for being very laid back. I find I’m constantly telling my wife and other family members to relax and not worry about things so much, which more often than not makes MRs UTMT less relaxed!
