With rows of tawny-coloured tenements, massive student population, a surfeit of artsy cafés and…read moreindependent grocery stores, Marchmont's vibe falls somewhere between bohemian and genteel. It's bordered by the Meadows on one side, and the wealthy mansions of the Grange on the other, and has its own character as a fairly sleepy residential neighbourhood, disturbed only by the occasional blaring music of student flat parties. When I lived here, I loved its smallness, and the village-like quality - the fact that, whenever I left my flat, I'd meet someone I knew, and could survive for days at a time without ever venturing across the Meadows, getting all I needed from the cornershop, having a pint in the Argyle down the road, renting DVDs from Alphabet, and generally shying away from the outside world. Now that I've moved away, I feel slightly relieved to have escaped this insular community. Still, I'll always have a soft spot for Marchmont's leafy streets and turreted tenements.

Marchmont Hardware is a great handy business in Marchmont which provides a good range of cooking…read moreutensils, tools and even mini vacuum cleaners for hoovering up crumbs on the tabletop - an amazing invention. The guys who run it are pleasant, helpful and offer to find any products which they don't have in stock or recommend where you might find them. My only criticism is that some of the things which they sell are a bit gimmicky and pointless. For example, they were displaying an electronic rotating ice cream cone! Does that appeal to anyone? Possibly, but I can't help but feel that they'd benefit from specialising in stuff which people actually need. Nevertheless, Marchmont Hardware offers top service and a great range of products at good prices.

B&Q at Hermiston Gate was where the madness started. With all daft projects like - lets try and…read morerenovate the entire house and garden top to bottom including fixtures and fittings in a month and hold down a steady job, go racing and go on holiday all at the same time - it had to start with the tipping point - in this case, 'window shopping' for a kitchen. Having found our dream kitchen elsewhere, we were in the doldrums at the price of said dream and entered B&Q to see if there were any alternatives to the dream that would come close to acceptable. If you are anything like me, acceptable and dream are virtually identical i.e. one and the same. Makes things a little tough, no? Well, lucky for us, Cooke & Lewis came to our rescue with an identical kitchen. Except for the price. So we're getting our dream this weekend, and I can't wait. It even has a dishwasher, so I can look forward to having model-esque hands, probably. See me in a magazine soon!

Well, guess what!? The owners of Mad Murdoch's 1 have opened up a Mad Murdoch's 2! Yes, the people of Burntisland are spoilt for choice here! This second shop offers products with the focus on women's jewellery accessories, handbags, beauty products and some arts and craft products. Yes, as you can imagine this shop is not really aimed at men, and yes I wondered what the staff thought of me having a wonder about in their shop! Unsure how successful this shop is, considering that people in the town can just head into Kirkcaldy or Edinburgh for their beauty and fashion accessories. However, if you want something local, I suppose it would do. I look forward to Mad Murdoch's 3!

Despite being part of the same parent company as B&Q this place actually has what you want to do…read morethe job right. You can either turn up and flick through the catalogues (they have quite a few different ones), download the catalogues on your mobile device or do what I do and browse/order on line after reading the reviews. If placing an online order you quickly get a text to advise the staff in store have your order ready and it's a quick drive round and there you are. The staff are great and often help customers whether they are trade or DIY with whatever queries they have and are happy to compare items or I've seen some customers bring things in to make sure they are buying the right items/parts for the job. There are a few items out on display in the store, usually plumbing, safety clothing and general decorating items that you often forget about or are handy to have for "spares" for those emergency jobs that happen when you don't expect (and every DIY store is shut).
