    Exactly!!!

    I sold a kitchen for 4 times what the OP paid. People spend what they can afford and it's not for other people to judge them for it...

    My dad is a building surveyor and also designs granite kitchens, I sometimes help him and out and the total cost can exceed 30k quite easily :)
    I try to help as much as I can. But I'm also honest and speak my mind.

    Smoke free since Jan 2014 :D If you want any advice on quitting please send me a PM. :)

    So many wrong assumptions in that post...why?

    I very much doubt they are incorrect.

    You've been acting like an arrogant, opinionated, jerk and ignoring a perfectly reasonable forum rule. There must be a reason for that. ;)

    ..and you appear to have missed the being nice to ALL moneysavers..which to use your words is a perfectly reasonable forum rule?

    So me saying it's daft to pay 30k for a kitchen is wrong under MSE riles, but you calling me arrogant, and a jerk is not?

    FIXED...you are correct. You altered my words and didn't answer the question.

    There's very few on MSE who have a one million pound house.

    I would say that mse has a representative cross section of the population and so there will be plenty more than a few that live in million pound houses.

    Look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves.

    How many is more than a few though? I reckon less 1-2% is a few and more than maybe 5% is more than a few number wise. An MSE poll?
