    Thanks @kayannie yes it was a glorious day here too 
    Thanks @Sunshine_girl2 your new idea for an income stream sounds interesting...
    Thanks @joeyjimbles the problem is not yet having enough spaces to put things away in. So, they float in limbo land until I can think of somewhere...plus kitchen is so small. That said I am very thankful for my space. It just needs organising...
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    You're not the only one with a small kitchen. When I tell anyone that hasn't seen it that I can stand in the centre of it & reach the cooker, fridge, freezer & sink, they think I'm joking, but I'm not! There's not even room for a table or even a breakfast bar. Also, the units & wall tiles are firmly set in the 1950's!  And if I don't put things away straight away, there's no room for other things!

    Having said that, I do, like you, live at the sea & I have a wonderful sea view & that makes up for a sub standard kitchen! One day it WILL get updated, 🤞

    Yes @kayannie if I am ruthless about clutter (I'm not really....) and use the space well it is enough for my needs although I would love to be able to fit in a small table... Ah well, as you say we have the sea  :)

    Now that is the stuff of dreams :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
