new kitchen
Wednesday, 9 September 2009
We went looking for a new kitchen over the weekend, I walked into the showroom, knew what I wanted, knew what would work for me...simple.
I was shocked at the amount of input everyone else in the family had...especially as they all spend about...ooh...ZERO percent of their time in the kitchen!!!
Even Deion decided he didn't like my cabinet choice, he prefered the black and orange ones (I kid you not!)Dave was critical over my double oven choice, ridiculous, seeing as he would know how to turn the old one on if I asked him.
Do I really need a dishwasher? "NO," I said, "but everyone else will have to chip in with the washing up."
Silence.
okay, it now appears dishwasher is at the top of the list.
It was ridiculous, a 30 minute job turned into two hours of everyone else deciding what I should have to cook with.
Jordan and Robyn do like to chip in with the cooking, they haven't got to the clearing up after themselves bit yet, so invariably when they emerge with a masterpiece, the kitchen looks like a tornado has passed through, but they are trying.
So in the end we left with nothing, I'm going to go back all by myself, I shall chose what I want.

I laughed till my sides ached . . it reminded me of when I was choosing my kitchen . . it ended with Colin and I having a huge row and Trojan and I returning without him to choose. Yes Sally, go along . . go very alone!!!! xxx

My ready response is "I'll take that under advisement." end of story.

my contribution to this post is:
Those who use the kitchen most should chooses what goes in the kitchen, the rest just better be prepared to pay and keep quiet!

Sally, You poor thing. I agree, you use it, you choose it! The kitchen is your domain, it should make you HAPPY!

LOL there you go. It is funny how fast everyone agrees on a dishwasher when they find out there is work involved otherwise.

Yes, that's exactly what you should do; it's YOUR kitchen. It's amazing how they have something to say about this kind of stuff; my teens were trying to do the same thing last year when I got a new washer/dryer.
