my personal "The Block"

I am about to begin living a nightmare ... the physical part of the renovation of my kitchen. The planning of said kitchen has been going on for a while benchtop and cpuboard laminate and appliances have been chosen with only the flooring left unaddressed and now the fun begins.

The fun and the mess, walls are being knocked down and painting is by far not my favourite hobby and the packing up of my pantry, crockery and general stuff and has turned into a bit of a farce with my sister-in-law agreeing to collect some removal boxes on my behallf and when she arrived discovering that the seller had misunderstood what I wanted and she refused to pay unnecessary money for preloved boxes (i do agree $4 is a lot for 1 cardboard box) but when I do get the boxes I need I'm going to turn the great unpack into a game of Snog, Marry, Avoid.

As you may be aware snog, marry, avoid is a British tv show which transforms over the top (OTT) Brits into more subdued versions of themelves by by stripping away the fake tan and pimped up or barely there wardrobes and attempts to make them realise their natural beauty. My version however goes like this snog - kiss it good bye permanently via garage, marry - got it for keeps like a spouse (appearently) and avoid - donnate it and don't put it back in the cupboard.

Now I have to locate some boxes before Wednesday when the deconstruction begins - photos may follow
