Been MIA for a few weeks, oops
.
So, the exciting news is we are having a new kitchen :T. Currently marked out in newspaper on the floor :rotfl:. Am very pleased with what[STRIKE] I[/STRIKE] we have chosen - white and very plain, with grey, white & granite worktop. Currently choosing tiles. Am not allowed the lovely splashback with aqua, red and lime green birds
. Probably just as well as I think I'd go off it pretty quickly :rotfl:. Am probably going to have very plain white tiles with a slight texture, laid in a herringbone pattern, like THIS. I really liked some Porcelanosa floor tiles at €80 a metre - we need 20m :eek:. Then I found some cheaper (relatively.....) at €48m. Semi-settled on some at €12m. Then went to a builders yard near us and found this
at €12m (looks like this in brown when laid) :T. Nice man let us bring one home - I am looking at as we speak and it has built in dirt marks and scratches so ideal really :rotfl:.
The really scary thing is we are having it done, including building work, while we are out of the country :eek:. So, my micro-managing tendencies will just have to get over themselves :rotfl:.
Being called by Mr GG who wants to hit the town, hasta luego xxA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

Yes, very brave.... But what could go wrong? Seriously, I am sure it will be fine and you won't have the hassle of living amongst it.Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -

Good luck with the kitchen. It will be lovely when it's all done (that's what they keep telling me!)
Seriously, it will look great!
