Finished!!!

All that space!!! Not as much as I had in the house, but plenty for me and hubs. Serving dinner is so much easier now - I don't have to put the washing up bowl upside down to make more surface space. The telling will be when we have people over. Cooking and serving a meal won't be a problem, but they will have to go outside to eat it!!!
The next job is a wall cupboard over the microwave, hubs will sort it!!!!


Lovely!

I promise!!! I will clean you everyday, I will protect you from Hubs bashing you about and spilling things on you. I will cook beautiful meals on you and always wipe you down after cooking. I love you!!!
Sad I know, but I have spent all my life making do and managing with cheaper or secondhand cookers. As you get older, the priorities change and I will not have to 'make do' any longer.
Isn't she beautiful!!!!

Hubs - in the calm before the storm

This is the hard part, taking the tiles of in order to make to old worktop light enough to move. This is the time for retail therapy and leave hubs to it. Might have to stay away for hours!!!! A girls got to do, what a girls got to do! I do hope he hoovers up afters (joke!!)


Ooohh bloomin lovely!

Isn't she lovely!!!! No more cold evenings sitting huddled up round the electric oil rad. We have our very own brand new 'Old Dutch'. Thinks I'm in love!!!!!
Its been a rotten cold miserable winter and this little baby is going to make our lives so much easier. She heats the rad up (40ft away) and bonus is that she keeps the hot water ticking over at a reasonable temp if left on long enough - I'm in heaven!!!


Old tiles - yuk!


This is the before picture of those awful tiles, they looked lovely when we first moved on. I think they were put on to enhance the kitchen just before it was sold. They were so impractical and never really felt clean cause it all gets into the cracks in the grout. Be glad to get rid of them - I will take a picture of the finish thing, but the washing up needs doing and I couldn't possibly take a picture of my dirty dishes - a girls got a reputation to keep you know!!!
