Let the games begin
Monday, 15th January 2007 by JulieWe had our builders round yesterday to make some final notes on the plans we’d given them for our new kitchen. It had been so long since we set the starting date that we’d forgotten that today (Monday) was the day it was all due to kick off!
So the rest of Sunday afternoon was spent packing away everything from the kitchen and preparing to camp in the remaining rooms. Anything not essential for sustaining life (even, yes, the cappuccino machine) was packed behind plastic sheeting on shelves or in the passage.
Then the TV had to move into our room, the fridge(s) into the lounge (we actually let the builders move the big new one), microwave, kettle and toaster onto the dining room table, and all the food, cutlery and crockery we planned to use for the next several weeks into some large plastic boxes which could be sealed off from building dust.
