At this time of year, as the sun finally makes its appearance, we all begin to realise the therapeutic properties of light. Everything seems just that little bit better when the sun is shining, and there is a more positive atmosphere in the air. Many of us feel that it would be wonderful to have a lighter brighter home all year round.
As Cambridge University’s Peterhouse College win the latest series of University Challenge, is it time for a little challenge in your life?

If like some of us at DIY Homefit you are old enough to remember the 1980’s craze for time management training you will be very familiar with the above phrase! It is also still widely used today. If not, let us explain – and don’t worry: no elephants (or any other animals for that matter!) have been harmed in the creation of this article!
