We actually start working on the kitchen

OK, I'm going to try and document the kitchen progress diary-fashion. Well, actually, this first part is retrospective; I've been meaning to do this all along, but not gotten around to it until now. When you reach the bit about major demolition, you'll have reached the real 'now'.

So, firstly, we moved the fridge out of the kitchen and into the dining room (thanks to Sue's amazing sack barrow, we even managed to do it without damaging the exposed edge of the laminate floor at the threshold between the dining room and the kitchen). Wooo. Progress. OK, it's not much, but it needed doing before the old kitchen gets demolished (which is due to happen on Thursday. It's now Sunday...)

Also, James got rid of the final fragment of what the previous owners humourously described as a 'breakfast bar', (mostly) demolished a box-thing that hiding radiator pipes going up the wall, and removed tiles from the general area. Of course, we didn't take any 'before' photos, so you'll just have to make do with the 'after' and some imagination. ;)
