I'd agree with that. Except that when I went to bed I put to him my idea
of
cutting out the vinyl in our kitchen and using floor paint and he said it
was a good idea. Couldn't find anything to argue about - it was a strange
feeling! We shall have gaps between the boards but they're pretty large
and
cr-p can be vacuumed or swept out. I don't drop grease as a rule.

I dropped a potload of grease last weekend at my Dad's house - one of
those quick roasts in a little foil tray - caught the edge on the oven
shelf while taking it out.

We never have anything like that ...

Fortunately Dad has a "proper floor" -
real quarry tiles, so no harm done.

Oh yes, I have a friend in Stevenage with one of those. She slides around
all the time because it's covered with a film of oil and grease ...

The floorpaint sounds like a class idea.


My dream is to have a 12' x 12' kitchen ... :-(

Our rented house would have a 12x8 kitchen, except they turned it into a
half-arsed kitchen and diner combination - both bits too small to
adequately fulfil any meaningful function

LOL!

We could make a magnificent kitchen by knocking down the dividing wall
between the existing one and the sitting room and turning the dining room
into the sitting room.

But I do like the sitting room as it is, everything about it is perfect for
its purpose. I'll make do with the scullery sized space I have, at least I
don't have to walk between appliances.

And if I can make meals for eight on a two burner hob in a 10' caravan I
reckon I can manage in our little kitchen at home.

Although I dream about a larger kitchen it's not important or desirable
enough to sacrifice my sanctum.
