ladies, the last few days have been hectic had to move all our small kitchen appliances into our bedroom and a very small room we use as a cupboard also some furniture from the lounge, our kitchen/diner is open plan from the lounge, on top of that I have a stinking cold.:sigh:
The builders came today at 8am been up since 5am with excitement, they ripped everything out, left now with an empty shell, plaster off the walls and bare pipe work, what a mess they made, never seen so many builders popping in and out :8855:, and made so many cups of tea today :coffee:, the electricians are here tomorrow then the plumber’s the day after. The old kitchen was higgledy-piggledy a bit of a botch, really awful that’s why I can’t wait for my new kitchen, I took some before pictures which I will put on later, will keep you all posted.

Got weighed today lost 2lb got my 2.5st sticker, don’t know about next week will be living off microwave meals:yuk:
