It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Off Topic Chat

I was in Tesco earlier, and not only did they have the tubs of sweets (2 for €10), but they also had selection boxes for sale. I don't think the selection boxes are usually out this early. I even overheard two staff members talking about how early it is for selection boxes.

Well as an example, with us in 2019 we chose everything we wanted in terms of units, taps, sink type, colours, layout (significant changes to that to be fair) appliances etc in July/early August, and the strip out & install started the second last week in October, last few bits like tiling (which had to wait until after the stone countertop was installed) was the end of November. Then we had to get our floors installed. We literally finished it the day before the late late toy show & put the decorations up that day too... we only saw the kitchen look finished in its normal state in January 2020 when all the christmas decorations came down.

Don't underestimate refurbing a kitchen. Though it does depend on to what extent, if its a case of just changing units but keeping the layout the same it'll be a little less complicated.

This chat is putting the going on me to do our kitchen 😋 We have a great view from one end & I've a real desire to blow out the wall and have a larger window. Would mean moving our hob though & I'd ideally like to put our sink where the hob is now. House is only 6 years old though so don't really want to do my kitchen again as there is nothing wrong with it.
