Kitchen progress

Our kitchen is coming on: the granite worktop was fitted today. There are lots of bits that still need doing but it's going to look groovy!

The dishwasher is installed and working but I haven't used it yet. My excuse was that I didn't have any dishwashing tablets but really it's because the spectre of my granny is hanging over me tutting at my extravagance and laziness. I have to resist the voice that says, 'I'll just swill these couple of dishes in the sink.'

P.S. Husband has pointed out that since the worktop has been fitted we can't open the dishwasher because the door handles have not yet been put on. So that settles my dilemma for a bit.
P.P.S. I found, in a roundabout way while doing an inventory for Linden's insurance, a fabby blackberry-coloured waste bin that would look super in our new trendy kitchen. Sadly it was £159. However it did have a very solid top and if it stopped George raiding the bins maybe ... no, you're right: Husband is not going to fall for that.

O wow granite worktops. I'm not much into kitchen fittings, but, as the French would say, granite's "supercool!"

We found out, after we had moved into our new-build house, that the kitchen had been built from the floor upwards, eg. the shelves in the cupboards were put in before the granite was laid as the worktop - hence we cannot remove the shelves - the plumber has an awful job changing our descaling cartridge under the kitchen sink as he cannot remove any shelves!

Tut! Tut! Liz, no one in their right mind would pay that much for a garbage bin! You could get a heck of lot of lessons from Cesar (the Dog Whisperer) for that much loot. lol

Just and idea ;-)
