    Will not requite but loving the new kitchen in the Tinyshoes household.
    Bet Mr TS can't wait to start cooking. A stunning job and great workmanship along with a lovely choice of units. Love that the panty doors all match.

    No more overhoarding it is too nice to spoil.

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    Very sorry to hear altojak is so unwell:(

    Could anyone help me with the carling please. DS2 coming tomorrow so I bought the 4 pack for COS which has been claimed with no problem but I am having problems with the 4 pack rewards. It doesn't like my code so I have had to send a query to ipint.
    Is this normal? It doesn't say code already used just that it doesn't recognise it.
    Only been collecting from ipint on the rare occasion I have won a 4 pack. Still have some carling cider from last year so expect ds2 will be drinking that.

    TIA

    You got it free on CoS?

    Triple check the code - I found mine very difficult to read as distorted and it took ages to guess a couple of the letters/numbers (turned out B was 8 from memory).

    I met Phillip years ago when he would have been about 74 and what a handsome man up close he was a very elegant man even at that age

    Pictures do not do him justice Andrew was also there and they both seemed to be the " terrible twins " in a nice way though ...

    I met Prince Philip very briefly in 2014 at St James palace when my youngest went with his ATC district to collect their gold DOEs

    Also in December 2014 we went to Buckingham Palace with youngest son to collect a works award and met Prince Andrew.

    The Queen I met 28 years ago when she officially opened the gym I was working at :D

    You need to put the washing mschine in a utility room :)
    But apart from that it looks great:cool:

    That was the utility room before the wall came down. :p

    This works for us. I am the dish washer so don't need space for one of those. It was more important to us to be able to store our veg/fruit from garden/allotment so we have this cold room now on the right side of the house. Even room for me to shut Mr TS in it or you if you like. :rotfl:

    In my old house we boxed the tumble dryer in so we opened a door and there it was with no white showing:cool:
    I must say it does look good :T:cool:

    We used granite, the company managed to get all the window sills including in both the larders, splash backs and work tops out of one slab. There wasn't enough to go across between the cooker but it has a lift up glass lid. :cool: It wasn't cheap mhoc. :o

    But it was my dream thanks to my mum. :A

    I've thought about granite a lot but really though it would not be worth it, I doubt if we will be living in this house long enough to appreciate it so it would be the next owners who would get the value out of it.
    plus my OH is very slapdash, always chucking hot tea spoons on the works surface. Our current work surface by the kettle is very marked with hot rings. also OH has a new annoying habit. he has taken to eating cornflakes but he cant get them all in the bowl so he leaves mess on the work surface and then just leaves it :eek: he has no idea why this new habit is driving me bonkers.

    so sadly its going to have to be cheap and cheerful for me

    Thanks VT. Bit of a moment earlier when the gas was installed, the oven wouldn't light. :eek: It was set on automatic. :rotfl: Yes he is really looking forward to using it, only problem is I didn't want to tempt fate and got nothing out of the freezer for tea. :o

    The kitchen doors are not solid oak, had to compromise but was the best match I could find in veneer to match the cabinet doors. The kitchen cabinets are all solid oak, as is the freestanding larder, hopefully will now last my life time. :cool: I won't show you I have already filled it. :rotfl:

    The duke of Edinburgh...he's rather stunning in a gentlemanly way though dont you think?

    TS what a lovely kitchen transformation...I love a bit of granite!
    just watch your champagne glasses on it...they do tend to break...I've lost a few over the years as it doesnt take much of an impact to shatter them!

    I'm a big fan of a worcester boiler too.....
