    Been to Lidl - got my 'ello vera' to run on hubbies leg and fake green carpet as a putting green - ok our house gets madder by the minute.

    Done food shop aswell. Need to put the rest of it away, more washing to go on the line and then a veg patch to dig.

    DS3 has a friend coming in a minute. DS2 and friend here - they can go play basket ball or something.

    Pigpen - great pics - how do you avoid getting red eye?

    We are in the middle of doing our kitchen at the moment and my advice is to collect all the catalogues and price lists, and then go home and compare.
    My F/F came from Currys - they were the cheapest; my flooring came from B & Q [ only place I could find that did the colour I wanted]; my kitchen carcasses are coming from B & Q[ the range is quite wide and so makes it easier to get what I wanted]; my worktop from Ipswich Plastics [ I'm having it from the Prima Bushboard range and they deliver free on a sat morning!] and the doors, I not quite sure about yet. OH is doing the work with me as his assistant.
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.
