Nice looking kitchens you two

 

[trashpony]

WOWSERS! that is a lovely looking kitchen trashy! you must be well pleased

I am in love with it It's the first time in my life I've ever had a dishwasher and it's fantastic!

The only downside is that the foal insists on calling it our new brown kitchen which makes it sound dingy and 70s

I had to get the whole thing ripped out to do the damp. The cupboards were all rotting and the plaster was coming off the walls in big chunks and mould was growing everywhere. Was grim

Marty - it's good having a new kitchen isn't it? It's so clean

Today's purchase from work were a Cath Kidston mug that isn't currently on her website so I can't pop up a pic, some party people glass markers:

Which are really quite but are for a Chrimbo pressie.

Oh and, to my shame, a Touch Me chenille mitt for doing the tiles in the bathroom.

Warning: A cheesy ass video that I have to listen to instore everyday starts as soon as the page loads.

I did see the Wilkos bowl sets actually and they were high on my list of purchases until the Joseph Joseph order turned up at work and I was smitten.

I got this today for my bedroom. It looks a bit tacky in the picture but it looks really lovely. Our bedroom is all cream/pale pink and a cream shade was a bit dull. It feels a bit strictly come dancing in my room now.

It was 20% off too so it was £32.00.

I also bought a 2 tier stove top steamer reduced to £9.00 and a gravy separator.

 

[madamv]

A gravy separator? Did you get me one ?? *hopeful*

I so nearly did but I couldn't remember if you'd got one (and didn't ahve my phone with me) and I couldn't have done anyway because I had a chuffing card verification check in the shop and only had enough cash for one. £2.29 in Dunelm Mill but it is a silly little plastic one. I only got it because I'm doing a roast and was desperate.

 

[Looby]

[madamv]

I Loooooooove the shade dahlink...

[Biddlybee]

We need 4... none of them in the same room, so I'm thinking simple tube like ones for most of them. Maybe a fancy one in the living room.
