So – it’s been a few weeks since the I wrote any news. The last guests were lovely (they’ve all been lovely) and I’m feeling like I’ve got into the groove.
The news in the house (our house, the one we’re still trying to do up – the project that we both said we wanted…) is mixed. It’s always mixed. The kitchen saga continues…
Anyway, we’re ready to go, I have dismantled most of the old kitchen, and the new kitchen we ordered October 7th from IKEA got delivered yesterday. So far so good.
The worktops we also ordered October 7th from IKEA for delivery yesterday (allowing lead time for cutting) DIDN’T come. I rang and was told the paperwork said delivery December 2nd. The phone calls that followed got increasingly frustrating…
So it’s all a bit of a nightmare. I try not to get angry, but then just end up getting tearful, which makes me look like a flakey female with hormonal issues. So when the poor chap who has been given the job of sorting this out calls back today I’ll try and remain my normal kind, understanding self.
And then I’ll get on to the more difficult job of rearranging artisans. But this is Yorkshire – more than that, this is NORTH Yorkshire, where everybody tries to help if they can. So I’m confident that I’ll be cooking my kitchen dinner in my new kitchen – and if we have a little dust with our turkey dinner again, I’m sure we’ll cope.
