My writing has taken a back seat over the last few weeks as the kitchen rip out has begun. Whip woo! At long last. And I’ve still got a working cooker and sink!

Luckily, I have a laundry room where I’ve put all my tins and dried foods. Plus, my partner has set up temporary cupboards and a large worktop area in the conservatory.

One things for certain, walking multiple times a day down the long corridor from the kitchen to the conservatory, will certainly burn off a lot of calories.

So hopefully in a few weeks time I should not only have a brand new kitchen, but I should also be at least 1/2 stone lighter! I can but hope.
