I'll move one of the shelves up (been meaning to do that anyway) - does that count?

I'll get right on it. :)

Now, much as I enjoy a bit of physical violence, I said I would show you my kitchen when it is done.

It's not done - I was assimilated into the world of work (something I find challenging!) and it is taking up far too much time. Only here to write this as I wimped off sick today....

Once it is looking as nice as your lovely house, then I will post....

Sure.......just move some things around, too - make it look good ;)

You can post pics of your Ikea 'construction', too (I love building that stuff - my mum always said I should have been a boy! :o )

LOL, to be fair - it was TWO months ago, and you promised a PROGRESS pic of the 'raggles' :p

Seriously - sorry you're not feeling well, though; and hope it's nothing terrible :(

But.......seeing as you're up to posting on here, you could maybe manage to take a picture?.....and post that, too ;) :D lol)

As for my house - you're confusing it with the one that's for sale (but still not completely finished, either). The one I actually live in - almost every room looks very similar to the 'tool shed' we call a bedroom, that I posted a pic of here ages ago! :(

The good (I hope) news is - we have a man coming on Monday to discuss the state of the place, and figure out exactly what needs doing now that we've got the other guys lawyer off our backs! I have a feeling though, that even if we hire them, they won't be able to start 'til Spring!

Ok, here you go - this is why - I never quite get all the clearing up done & I did want to paint it....I did post a raggle one. i know I'm sounding grumpy, I'm not, just feeling a bit weird.

Awww Yonk - wasn't being serious - hope you know that!

Nice Kitchen though! (I can see past the mess, and visualise what's to come; and if it's any consolation, my house makes yours look like a show home right now! ;))

Hope you feel better soon :)

Err, the problem is that is possibly the final look until the day it is for sale! Housekeeping is not one of my strongest suits!

:D

Me either - but that's ok; I'll just keep on 'seeing 'past the mess' (I see past my own all the time ;))
