Tallulah's Thread. Fuck yeah.

And so it's Friday, and the day that was supposed to be the finish of my kitchen extension/building work. And it's still not finished. 😭 It's looking good, but I reckon they still have 3-4 days worth to do. Kitchen units are half built (no worktops etc), and the flooring is half laid. Still have to finish details like skirting and wiring the actual lights in, and the cloakroom only consists of the basin. Oh, and the conservation doors were finally approved so they'll be fitted next week also!

My only real concern is how manic next week is going to be, as we'll be leaving for our family 3 week road trip at the end of the week and I was hoping to pack and prep in peace.

Never mind, at least I'll get three weeks of fun with not much cooking (mostly hotel restaurants) and definitely no more washing dinner dishes in the bathroom sink. :ROFLMAO:
 
Dear Lit Diary,

Road trip was great - made some great memories and took some fab photos (no, I won't share). I've put on a lot of weight from too many treats (mid morning and mid afternoon snack stops became the norm!). We stayed in hotels, we glamped, we caravanned, and we cottaged. We drove around 3000 miles - some on motorways, some through fantastic scenery. We had one hospital trip (dislocated knee - not mine!), and one refund for a terrible night in a hotel. But otherwise, abundant in trains and museums and places we've never visited before. And I personally think that John O'Groats is better than Land's End (yes, we visited them both in this one trip).

Kitchen: STILL WASN'T FINISHED when we got home! I've had some harsh words said to the contractors. It's 99% finished now and we're moved in, but there's still a couple of issues I need fixing. Now I'm focusing on making it feel like my space.

As for the rest of my life... well, best leave that for another day. :cool:
