    Would love to but only if I can bring my dirty washing with me :rotfl:

    I've got two dishwashers not two washing machines 😉

    Bring washing :)

    That was lucky with the squirrel damage, I didn't realise they would cause so much damage!

    It's now 6 months since we saw the first kitchen designer (she went AWOL in December and we first met the current designer in January) and it feels so much longer!!!

    Are they desperate enough to offer a really good discount to fill that slot?!

    One of my questions this week is to see what the price would be if we had it fitted in Oct - and if there isn't a decent price difference then I'm not a fan of filling their time for them :D

    Another spendy day :whistle:

    - bought a white/brushed chrome trim induction hob range cooker :)

    - bought an oak/blue table & chairs for the kitchen :)
    Lovely table and chairs - and totally bargainous to boot :T. Which partly offsets certain orange-related purchases :rotfl:.

    If by all going well you mean... did the fitters deliver the bits & pieces first thing this morning and then leave?... then yes, all going well...

    I had another appointment with the JL Home Design Service today. Apparently my style is eclectic! Fabric chosen for curtains (they are coming to measure on Friday) and furniture ordered for living room.
