Would like advice pls

I'm not v good at diy in any shape or form. Anyway I started doing an old house up and because of the shape of the kitchen and how i wanted my new kitchen fitted (and it was summertime) i got the guy fitting the kitchen to take the radiator out (it was on a kind of breakfast bar (very 80's) thingy right in the middle of the room and looked c**p) anyway i insisted i didn't want a radiator in the kitchen and my new wood flooring, worktops and units look absolutely fab.
There's just the small problem of now it's winter, it's absolutely freezing and i feel like i've boo booed big time cos i don't want to spend any time in there cos its cold. The new central heating was all over the house so why i decided to do this i have no idea now (probably cos it was warm at the time !!
Has anyone got any idea on what i can do (i have been told that the flooring would need tpo be ripped up to move the pipework etc) and i am gutted at that prospect. I was thinking of maybe getting a small cheapest heater that I could use for a couple of hours a day but someone said it will cost me a fortune if i use it everyday for a couple of hrs through the winter months
Why oh why am i so c**p at visualising things and not using my brain !!

They run off electricity instead. You just need a plug socket really. If you call the company and give them the room dimensions, they will provide you with the appropriate radiator. You can buy a pad for it where you can put it on a timer to come on to suit you or set the temperature of the room, like a regular thermostat.

We used it in a flat in London where there was no gas. My electrician thinks it's great.

To get to the prices click through the "order easyheat online" link this will give you the option of RF controlled or timer controlled radiators, click on witch one you would like to look at and you will get the prices (they're not cheap)

How about a kickspace heater plumbed into the heating if the pipes are accessable (suprised the kitchen chap never suggested it at the time).
Had one in our kitchen in our last house - just the job for warming the feet, if you can shift the dog away from it!

Another idea, run the heating pipes from upstairs down a wall to a new rad, its what they do if solid floors,
