We dashed off to Benchmarx, our kitchen suppliers, yesterday and they can get beech coloured tops, however there are 2 in Cardiff and 2 in Bristol. We need 3 so they are collecting the 4 to check they are not damaged as they have been in storage for a month or two; beech it seems is not the 'in' colour! They will be delivered Monday pm. The young receptionist there, was such a nice young woman, and kept saying not to worry and of course you must have what you like.
The builder phoned again, Dh spoke to him, and he's fine about taking out the present tops and said not to stress, he will do what I want. I expect there will be extra to pay!
So I did sleep better last night.
We are coping extremely well without a cooker, better than we thought and have been able to keep to the SW food plan and we've both lost weight! We had been to Iceland and bought some of the SW frozen meals, and we found out that some of the Coop tinned soups were suitable too. And Friday lunch time Dh did toasted cheese sandwiches, as we were disappointed that both the Costa in Bridgend and Porthcawl were closed for a refurb, both at the same time!! And that was our treat of the week. We'd forgotten we had our toastie maker!
Last evening Dh barbequed some steaks and we had baked potatoes cooked in foil on the barbeque too, with a lovely huge green salad.. I had saved some syns and had ice cream with strawberries, it was all delicious. Today we've booked a meal at the Toby Carvery for a Sunday dinner, so I am looking forward to a beef dinner!

It's a nightmare referbing a kitchen, I've done it twice and don't want to do it again. You must have what you like, so glad you found the tops you are happy with good for keeping up with sw world with no kitchen too, that's not easy. Have a lovely meal today
Been years since we did a kitchen make over (it needs it again), but I well remember how disruptive it was. Best of luck to you; but it sounds like you're making good headway. Popped in from a mutual friends blog. It's always fun to meet new bloggers, swing by for a visit.
I like the look of beech worktops and who says they're not the 'in colour", you have what you like and they will be very nice. Enjoy your Sunday meal at the Toby Carvery, we don't have them here but I have been with daughter and son-in-law where they live, very nice too.
Glad to hear that you can get the counter tops that you want, after all, and you are still managing to keep to your diet! Well done on the weight loss!
I totally agree that you must have what you like - after all, you will have to use it and work in it for many years to come. Beech sounds really lovely - I wish I had gone for something a bit more natural looking.
I love toasties - just reading that you had one has made me crave one. They are so delicious.

Glad that your kitchen is starting to come together and you are able to get the work tops that you want. Good too, that your fitter is being supportive. It's your kitchen so of course you should have it just the way you want it. Hope it won't take too much longer to finish.
Hope you enjoyed the Toby carvery yesterday x
