I think I should have thought about it a bit more but it's all been a bit difficult - 1st kitchen fitter went AWOL. |

I have a spray cleaner especially for SS, which works well (quite toxic though, so don't like it too much). I have white (knackered) appliances in this house, except for the new washer and dryer in the laundry pics. (I'll never learn, but I just love the look of steel!) |

Not really one for chemicals as I was sensitised by my 1st job, prefer dirt! |

No reno's to our house this year (apart from painting the outside) but our acre of Paradise was largely rock fill which whilst being low maintenance is not very pretty to look at. So 1 Bobcat, 15 loads of topsoil, a days seeding and fertilizing and 6 weeks of unseasonably warm weather and we now have a lush and verdant lawn. Only problem is now I have to mow the bloody thing once every 5 days!

Fridge freezer has been delayed....and still no idea when a plasterer may come.....so basically, things are just plain normal & I'll get round to a piccy at some point soon, promise. :) |
