  • Yes Jo, I've come armed with hook and yarn!! Am I that predictable? :D

    Munchki honeybun, welcome back from your expedition to find the kitchen worktops. Were they still where you thought they were?? ;)

    I'm trying to have a look on eBay, but stupid thing won't alter the postcode from mine to yours! Bleh!!

    hehehe Toots, went out to Aldi and did my weekly shop, spent a whole whopping 11.60 heheh. Now home again (wow that sounds so cool) the tablets have kicked in properly, made a coffee and keep staring at the clutter, like it is going to magically sort itself. Going to finish coffee and then crack on full steam ahead and I will get this finished this afternoon!!!!

    oh yes, and nothing like walking into the little kitchen and seeing milk, german meatball things and lunchmeat floating in the sink ROTFL!! This is so much fun, quirky, but fun!

    with the one here munchki, my mum went to a local "signposting charity. they gave her a form to fill out. stamped it and she took it to the furniture place straight away picked out a washing machine . was delivered 5 days later. def worth checking out some of the other organisations to see if they have better systems in place

  • Do you have enough height space for a fridge freezer Munchki? And to save me going back again, did you say max width was 21"?

    Yes have enough height for a fridge freezer and yes 20 to 21 inches or whatever that is cm's. I think I have seen them in argos listed at 46cm when I was a having a purusal to see how narrow you could get them.

    Think she did have to pay something towards it but was not a lot. and she could keep going back for other things.
    Toots I got confused thinking it was 21 cm but was 21 inches.
