    SINK
    TAP

    Floor tiles & wall tiles from clearance & lights £51 for 3 sets from Focus :) Still to choose blinds & curtains, won;t do till kitchen fitted as want to see how worktop looks - it is a different colour depending on how you look at it :D

    1k deposit paid. Best update spreadsheets :eek:

    Hope all well :j

    All gorgeous - you and I have very similar tastes;):D

    We have a Magnet kitchen very like the one you have chosen. It's 8 years old (nearly) and is wearing really well. No problems at all....still looks like new.

    Enjoy:)

    I love your choices! ... and now want my kitchen done up too... :rotfl:

    My kitchen is a depressing nightmare combo of elderly pine, evil paint colours (from previous owners) and artex on the walls! :eek: :wall: It needs completely replastered and the whole thing moved to the other end of the room and possibly a wall (loadbearing I think :() removed. Not a small job... 1st up is sorting my bathroom as that is a "lovely" avocado colour and falling to bits! :eek: I knew there was a reason I could afford this place when I bought it... it needs everything done! :o :rotfl:

    I'll just drool at all the lovely stuff everyone else is having done in the meantime... :rotfl:

    I just managed that after a couple of years too. Current balance = £3.50 so £46.50 and several years to go to the next one. :rotfl: I have to say I'm liking all the election questions - I don't think I've ever had so many surveys from them as in the last few months! :j :rotfl:
