There's no getting away from it: you have to clean.

One wise decision I made was buying a plot of land with planning permission in Richmond, and building my own five-bedroom home on it. I sold three years after I completed the building and more than doubled my money. I like Richmond and always have my eyes open for other properties in the area.

The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.

I have always liked clothes - throughout my life, my saving grace has been my own vanity.

Rearranging furniture, adding some candles, or making even small tweaks can really make the difference.

I grew up in a world before people had credit cards. There were no magic cards - it was all about budgeting.
