Kayleigh is well known within the trade as a qualified painter & decorator and former lecturer at Merthyr College, and this event is a wonderful way to bring people together while raising awareness and support for FND.

📍 Moorlands Caravan Park, Llangybi, Lampeter, SA48 8NN
📅 Saturday 11th July 2026
⏰ From 12pm
🎟️ Free entry - just pay per game
🌙 Evening event: £1 per person

There’ll be craft stalls, games, face-painting, music, food & drink, an auction for items, and much more - a fun-filled day for the whole family.

We’d also love to hear from any suppliers, brands or local businesses who would like to support Kayleigh by donating items, prizes or goodies for the auction.

If you’d like to donate, please contact Kayleigh directly, or message Rabart Decorators Merchants and we’ll gladly put you in touch.

Every bit of support helps make the day even more special. 💛

💥 After losing this app TWICE and rebuilding it from scratch… Trade Brain Pro is finally 98% finished. 💥

Months of evenings after work…
More coffee than I care to admit…
And a few moments where I nearly launched the laptop out the window 😅

But we got there.

Trade Brain Pro is the app I wish existed during my 17 years on the tools.

Everything trades actually need — all in one place.

Not 10 different apps.
Not endless Googling on site.

Just one digital toolbox for the trades.

Inside the app you’ll find things like:

🔹 Smart Measurement Tools
Calculate wall area, ceilings, room size, perimeter and volume instantly.

🔹 Trade Calculators
Materials, paint quantities, conversions and trade-specific tools.

🔹 Tax Tracker
Track earnings, expenses and what you owe the taxman before he appears 😅

🔹 Quotes & Invoices
Create and send them straight from site.

🔹 Timesheets

🔹 Snag Lists & Job Planner

🔹 Quick Conversions
Metric, imperial, materials… no more searching the internet mid-job.

🔹 Weather for Trades

And one of my favourite parts…

🤖 Bob – the in-app assistant
You can literally talk to Bob to help with calculations, job planning and more.

But here's where it gets interesting…

Trade Brain Pro isn’t just for trades anymore.

The app now has three built-in modes:

🔨 Trade Mode – for tradesmen on the tools
🏠 DIY Mode – for homeowners doing their own projects
📋 Supervisor / Management Mode – for running teams, jobs and paperwork

So it works whether you're:

• A one-man band
• A small team
• Or a large company managing crews

One app.
All trades.
All levels.

Considering it’s been built in the evenings after work, rebuilt twice, and tested by a slightly sleep-deprived decorator… I’m pretty proud of where it’s landed.

Not long now.

🚀 Trade Brain Pro is coming.

Built by someone who's been on the tools…

For the trades.

👀 I’ll start posting previews soon…
