After...



























This is how I like my kitchen to look most of the time. It's a bit messy, and not obsessively tidy. It's a well used, family kitchen. I worked damned hard to get it so tidy.

Actually - what you can't see in any of these pictures is that the ceiling was pulled down as part of the kitchen refurbishment in December 2003. (Or possibly 2004 - can't remember off-hand) - and in order to save money, BIFF said that he would do the new ceiling, and the walls above the "splashbacks" - needless to say - all this time later, I still have no ceiling and walls with the wallpaper ripped off.

How can I sell a house in this condition? 

Maybe this is why he's done it? So that he knows I'm stuck here, because without selling this house, I can't afford to live anywhere else.

Anyway - That's how I like to have my kitchen. Not like the pics below, which is how he keeps the kitchen. 

If we're role-reversed, and I work and he's the "house-wife" then keeping the kitchen tidy is his job. But then again, so is buying the kids' clothes, and shoes, and school uniforms. So is sewing name tapes in to the kids clothes when they're going on camp. So is cleaning the bathroom....

I'll stop now, before I give myself a stroke through raised blood presure!
