Kitchen

We have come to the conclusion that we will never be able to afford a bigger house, ever. In light of this we have made the decision to spend as much as we can afford on doing up the current family abode. The waiting has gone on too long. The tiles have been smashed from the walls and the wallpaper removed from the kitchen. That makes it official.
In fact, much of the plaster that was being held in place by the wallpaper has been removed too, so there ends all plans for our naive budget to control the madness.

Our plans are to do up the kitchen with new worktops and cupboard doors, replace the bathroom, put up a new fence and tidy up the garden and basically replace our bedroom with another one. The current bedroom has a kitchen worktop in it which the original owners somewhat bafflingly decided would be a good idea. It isn’t. It’s one of those things that you look at when you buy the house and think ‘Yeah, we could just get rid of that’, and then you don’t.
I’m mostly looking forward to the garden changes, though that will need to wait for warmer weather so that the grass isn’t frozen solid. The plans include a fence to keep the dog in. At the moment you need to go with him while he pees so that he doesn’t jump over the crappy old fence and run away to scare children and shag lady dogs. Then he comes back at 4am and cries on the doorstep. It’s just not responsible dog owning, and frankly a pain in the arse.
