With less space to actually build your home, designers are now maximising the space available by combining living-rooms, dinning-rooms and kitchens into impressive open areas. This may have one drawback, as when you open the front door your full downstairs comes into view, this means that it has always has to be tidy and well presented.

The solution for people who have bought open spaced homes is try to use vocal points to distract visitors’ eyes away from other areas of the room. As they say, first impressions last and having a great focal point will insure that people leave your home with nothing but praise. In open spaced homes there is no better vocal point than a well laid black gloss dining table with matching dining chairs.

I’ve stayed clear from being too pretentious and made my choice from books which I myself would pick up again and read whilst relaxing.

Here’s my selection…

10. Ash Road : reminds me of my childhood and the first book I ever read from start to finish.

9. Along Came A Spider : I love thrillers and James Patterson is THE expert at keeping you guessing till the very end.

8. Jurassic Park : Much better than the film as your mind’s eye paints the terrifying image of being chased by a dinosaur.

7. Outsiders : A great tale of social class divide in 60′s America with gang warfare between the Greasers and the Socs.

6. If you like Terry Pratchett then you’ll love Good Omens. Very funny and very clever take on the anti-christ.

5. IT : Classic horror from Stephen King, again let’s the inner-eye create frightening imagery thanks to the vivid writing skills of King.

4. Trainspotting : I had read this before the film was released and thoroughly enjoyed them both.

3. 1984 : Classic, George Orwell, peeks into the future with uncanny accuracy and depicts a totalitarian society.

2. Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha : A wonderful story of a young boy growing up in Ireland having to cope with the archaic world of a 10 year old plus the seperation of his parents.

1. The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw : Most people have heard of George Best, but how many have heard of Robin Friday? Tragic true story of a wonderful, gifted footballer whose hedonistic lifestyle would end his playing career and his young life.

After Allan, sorry, Sir Allan Sugar, bollocked, bashed, and belittled the 15 apprentices (there should have been 16, but ones nerves got the better of himself and failed to turn-up for the start of the show) they are split into Boys vs The Girls and told to go and earn some money as a washing / cleaning company would.

The Boys, undermanned, somehow, made a better profit than the girls team and were carted off in a torrent of high-fives to the Studio Apartment, where they’ll be staying for the duration of their time on the show. It must be said that there were some stunning modern furniture on show, which we hope to focus more on, in the coming weeks.

So, that left the Girls to bicker amongst themselves and two individuals from eight to face Sir Allan and to be ungraciously ‘Fired’. Anita, the girl who was left holding the calculator and, so-called, in charge of the teams budget was the first to fall. And there it ended. So, I’m intrigued by The Apprentice, as I’m wanting to see which characters shall emerge the strongest in the coming weeks, nowhere near hooked, but let’s wait and see, eh?
