    The thing is that we have a tap with a lever like that in the basin in our downstairs loo. It was there when we moved in. I wasn't sure how we'd find it, but in fact it's been fine. So it encourages me to think we'll be OK with something similar in the kitchen.

    The one problem that I frequently have with taps of that kind is working out which direction is hot and which is cold. This one does seem to have a little red spot in the pic, though, so I imagine there's probably a little blue spot on the other side out of the shot with that camera angle. And I've already decided that if I end up with one without little red and blue spots on, then I'll put them on myself with nail polish and a stencil or something.

    It would probably be fine for you in that case :) It looks very elegant!

    I like it but prefer a higher kitchen tap because I put big things in sink like stock pots/ jelly pans/ roasting tins that don''t fit lying down. Sometimes I wouldn't wAnt to use hose for these.

    If it swivels left and right it should be fine. My kitchen tap now feels inadequate. I have to actually turn the hot and cold off and on.

    How much spray is generated will depend to a certain extent on the shape of the sink and the pressure of the water, so could be fine in a deep and angular kitchen sink.

    Boost your kitchen tap's self esteem. Remind it some of us still don't have them;).

    Hug duly delivered!

    heard a lot of good stuff about the 5:2 diet and if I ever get my life back, I'd try it out. Exactly what you're meant to eat on the fast days is what I need a cheat sheet about. If anybody finds anything like that, feel free to pass it on to me.

    Hugs to Nikkster and everyone else from me too :)

    I like your philosophy. Mine is "stuff happens!" "And we deal with it" Not like it but just do what we can.

    Hugs to all

    What a lot of challenges to handle, as well as the joy of the wedding. Good luck with your planning.

    Today was better than yesterday, managed to make significant progress on one of the big things on my to-do list at work, after a hard day yesterday.

    I've just seen the end of The Hunt for Red October. I love that film :T

    Should now have a proper early night (as opposed to thinking about it, then going to bed but surfing on my phone until much later :o )

    Night all :cool:

    24wk scan yesterday PM and consultant appointment this morning. Everything going and growing to plan and I was very impressed by the consultant. I didn't go to the scan but OH reckons sonographer this time was outstanding. I always feel like the NHS is a bit of a lottery so very pleased it seems to be working well.

    Have you chosen names yet? ( not asking for them, just wondered if you'd chosen)

    I thought the NP had taken on that role, just to be helpful.

    I am assuming it swivels left and right. Mixer taps for kitchen sinks usually do, don't they? It's a one and a half bowl sink, so it needs to swivel to be able to be used over either part.

    ETA Have just checked Amazon listing. Somebody posted a question asking if it swivels and 10 people have replied, all saying yes, and many of them saying how much they like the tap. :)

    Excellent news. :) And nice to see you around on here again, chewy. :hello:
