My temporary kitchen
So, this is my former dining room - now my temporary kitchen. Dining room table with tea essentials - can't do without my cuppa! Last Monday work started on my kitchen refit. Everything was pulled out!
I have to admit, dear reader, that I "escaped" last Sunday and went to stay with my younger son in Glasgow for the week, leaving Hubby with a freezer full of microwave meals and having to cope with a house full of workmen and deliveries of materials. He's quite enjoyed himself (probably because I wasn't there). Not sure how my Son feels, but I had a lovely time with him. He was out at work all day, so I had his flat to myself and spent some time in Glasgow, as he's just a short bus journey from the city centre. I even cooked for him - he asked me to make two of his favourite meals while I was there. It was strange cooking with gas - my cooker is electric. But I managed fine!
This is how the kitchen looks today. There's been no water in kitchen for a week - washing machine, fridge, cooker and dishwasher are all in the dining room. Only the fridge is working. (The blue is just a protective cover on the units.)
My vintage treasures are all safely packed away and the bunnies have found temporary accommodation in the dining room among the pine cones!
I thought this whole process would be very traumatic and stressful - especially as I am participating in Dry January!!!!!! But in actual fact, when there is nothing you can do about the situation, it is just a case of getting on and making the best of it! Of course it helps when you get away for part of it! Thanks for putting up with me, Son!
Love, Liz

I'm glad you found an escape, if only for a short time. It will be worth all the upheaval once the work is complete. X
I thought it would be done in two weeks well it took more like 6 weeks , I got another fitter in who was just wonderful and so quick .
Have a fun week .
It will be worth it when it's finished!
Have a wonderful Sunday- xo Diana
