Monday 31st March

Went to the dentist this morning for a check up and nothing needs doing. Yipee……also not another appointment for a whole year…yipee again!!!!
We have been looking at kitchens again and not coming up with any firm ideas. I want to paint the doors and Harry prefers wood. I like freestanding and he prefers fitted. [...]

Harry has gone back to work today so I want to get some clearing up done and hopefully freecycle some items. He is off again on Fri right through until he returns on Tues, so we are hoping to get a cupboard built around the filing cabinets then. I will paint it the same colour [...]
