I have a fantasic new kitchen.. it cost me £3000 last easter!!!!

The water seems to be stabilising which is good seeing as it has reached my gate now!! :eek: Just checking round my family to make sure everyone else is ok.. my mother lives the next street up and had to come here because her road was closed.. she told the policceman she lived down here so she could come she didn't even have a coat and another plod told her to dump her car and walk!!

Yay we ate dinner in the kitchen tonight for the first time in weeks - it's been impossible lately as the table had papers on it and each night we were watching Celebrity Master Chef or something as we ate. I missed eating at the table! It feels good to have a shiny kitchen again. I wish I had noticed the mock wood grain on our white cupboard doors was a potential dirt grabber when we bought the kitchen 12 years ago - the amount of times I have had to scrub those things to get the grime out of the grain. One cupboard to the right of where we make our pot of tea gets terribly tea stained, its a wonder the washing machine (beneath) doesn't.

I'm tired now, I have noticed a touch of the old martyr rearing her head when my daughter made a comment in jest and I snapped her head off. I'm fine now I have noticed it, had lots of cuddles and giggles with hubby ::)

I'm really enjoying this thread Will clean out the WM drawer tonight in the ad breaks while I make drinks!

See some people have real problems with rain whilst the bloomin londoners stick up umbrellas during rush hour for a tiny bit of drizzle - get a hat and stop poking me in the eye!

Kitchen done nearly all the way to level 3 and ive started writing down the lists and sticking them up in the appropriate room so everyone knows what needs to be done each day. for instance DOH can see that after loading the dishwasher every night he needs to wash up everything that didnt fit in there and not leave it in a pile in the sink for me to do. Oh what a happy mood i am in today

pigpen

oh bum.... we need milk.. and its still raining!!!!! I am going out in my flipflops!!! shoes are simply a waste of time.. mind you so are clothes.. I'll keep my short skirt on lol

Really sorry to hear that it's so wet with you pigpen. Hope it starts to dry up soon. We've had rain all day but although the garden is very wet we don't really flood round here. I've had a phone call from the hospital i'm going to in the morning to ask me to phone at 6am as they have quite a few trees down and lots of water problems. To start with I was annoyed as it's taken lots to organise my children whilst I go in but then I read about that poor man who died and it puts things in perspective. Stay safe everyone xx

oohps flying hasn't happened this evening, as I've ended up with 2 more rats. Their cage was being offered on freecycle, when I enquired about it I was asked if I wanted the rats too. I have no idea what was going to happen to them otherwise. So I now have 2 big squishy males as well as my 3 girls.

Right time to finish off the kitchen and stuff. Back laters and I'll catch up on what everyone has been up to and hopefully pigpen won't have been washed away before then.
