Disastricles!
You know how things are just ticking along nicely: three weeks to a lovely family holiday; both of us in health; car going well...then?
On Saturday, we noticed that the kitchen floor had started to lift so the husband slit it carefully and reached in his hand. The result? A sopping wet underlay! It appears that the stopcock behind the drawers unit had been gently leaking for a long time :(
One emergency plumber and a phone call to our insurers later, the end result is we're going to have a new kitchen. I can't think straight atm. Instead of enjoying this spell of lovely weather in the calm, cool corner of the garden, we're busy running round kitchen fitters and gathering quotes for the insurers!
I'm slowly getting my head round all the different colours and door designs that are available these days (the damaged kitchen is 30 years old and the firm that fitted it has gone out of business) and am beginning to veer towards grey cupboards with a grey tiled floor. To add colour, I fancy having a pink tiled splashback. Next it's choosing a hob and hood and I don't know where to begin with that!
This holiday with all four of my siblings and their partners can't come quickly enough! I'm going to need it :P
