Renovating my kitchen

I'm just making a quick post but i will add more later. I decided last week i wanted new worktops in my kitchen, things just seem to have escalated. My kitchen has been gutted and i'm having everything new bananadance

The place is in a terrible state, we have to have plastering done the floor is just plain cement and i have no oven,cupboards etc it looks like a bomb site!! Looks like we are living on sandwiches for the next couple of weeks. Once i do something there is no stopping me..........poor hubby:lol!:

I am having a built in electric fan oven and i dont know how long it's gonna take for me to get the hang of it as i have always had gas. If anyone can give me advice please do.

Hows it going so far Luckystar?? sounds so awful having to go through all that just think of the end result it will be worth it.

I Have had stomach cramps all day, they are just going away now. I think its because of the dirty, dusty atmosphere here. I try to clean but its almost impossible,

The carpets in the bathroom and bedroom have been taken up so that we could do the wireing and everything has been dumped in the sitting room and middle bedroom. We even had the kitchen units in the living room coz there was no room left in the conservetory . Poor hubby is struggling to do most of the work himself after he comes home from his main job.

Well!! 4 weeks to go before Xmas so he better hurry up and get it finished.poor man notsaying

Oh Ros i am sorry i am keeping everything crossed it will work out for you it really is stressful.. I hope Mahruf's finger is ok did he have to have it stiched?
We are thinking about you my friend.
Love Chris and Geoff xxxxx

No stitches Chris they wanted the nail st stick back to the skin with some special stuff, he has to go back wednesdayto see if it works. He saw the workman at the hospital, can you believe it????Strange but true lol, anyway the man asked what was wrong and mahruf told him he did it trying to fix their botched job!! Well..guess what? The men came round tonight and sorted it out so now the washing machine is ok. However we have to wait till M's finger is better before he can continue the work. I am going to call in some favours from people because all his life he has been helping others and not asking for anything in return. Lets see who remembers his good deeds!!
