With the weather starting to warm up and barbecue season fast approaching, it’s a great time to give your outdoor entertaining area a refresh. And that’s what Adam and Charlie are going to do for a single mother with teenage kids. Their home has a good-sized deck but is mostly just used as a thoroughfare through to the backyard.

With so many people struggling from cost-of-living pressures, it’s heartwarming to know there are people out there who are keen to lend a helping hand.

CLARISSA – ASIAN-STYLE MUSSELS WITH ROTI
We often think of mussels as an expensive delicacy when we eat out, but they’re more reasonably priced than you’d think, making cooking them at home a budget treat.

And to top it off, a quick fry of Roti so you can soak up all the delicious juices from the mussels. This dish smells so good, you’ll be salivating all through the cooking process.

DR HARRY – CLYDESDALES: THE HORSE THAT BUILT AUSTRALIA
There’s so much more to see at the Clydesdale Spectacular than just Clydesdales. Dr Harry’s back at this show that honours the horse that built the nation. While the show has competitions for the prettiest horse, there are many competitions that highlight the working nature of these gentle giants. Away from competition, Harry gets a glimpse at the hard-working farriers, who make and fit the horseshoes, working in a time-honoured tradition. If you love horses and heritage trades as much as Harry, put on your kilt and dust off the bagpipes because this isn’t to be missed.
JULIET – NO MORE BEDSIDE TABLES
If you are tight on space in your bedroom and can’t fit bedside tables to put your stuff on, Juliet has a clever space-saving solution, a shelf attached to the back of the bed head. It will be big enough to handle just as many books and things as you would have put on your bedside tables, and even has the added benefit of being the right shape to house an LED strip for a funky light design.
JULIET – WASHING UP IS WONDERFUL
You’ve probably heard of the kitchen triangle, locating your fridge, sink and stove in a triangle for the most effective functionality and aesthetic.

CHARLIE – WASHINGTON MONASTERY GARDEN
The National Mall, the White House, the abundance of monuments and the up-and-coming foodie scene, there’s so much to see and do in Washington DC. There are also many gorgeous gardens to see, and while some are well-known, some are hidden gems, like the one Charlie has discovered in the grounds of the only Franciscan Monastery in the whole of the USA.
