Jo and I moved into our current home in November 2001. Not even 6 years ago. As is normal in such a situation we prioritised the decorating schedule in a way that would provide us with a comfortable environment in which to live in the shortest possible time and at reasonable expense. The kitchen was not high up the priority list and received a coat of paint on the ageing cupboards and new worktops.
Time past and finally, in around the summer of 2005, the kitchen reached the top of the refurbishment schedule. New cupboards and appliances were procured and placed in the garage. In the short time that has passed, only just 24 months, I have slaved away with my normal enthusiasm and dedication to such things and have so far replaced around 40% of the kitchen cupboards. Whilst I admit that progress has been slower than expected there are mitigating circumstances such as watching TV, drinking port and posting on TPF.
Unfortunatley, this means that I have not yet gotten round to replacing the tiles that were chosen by someone else and, quite frankly, are not my responsibility.
