I've emailed the chap at the kitchen company, who's back from holiday now, to clarify a few things, he's phoned back and I'll go in when he's got answers - I've assured him that I'm not anxious, just making sure that there are no issues later. I've also phoned about getting the flooring fitted, which will be a fortnight after the kitchen units are started, but I am not sure if there might be a clash there, so I'll find out next week.
I'm looking online at taps, which is fairly boring, might go over to the next town where there's a supplier of that sort of thing.
Yesterday, the lovely family who live in Glasgow called in for lunch - parents, two boys and the youngest child, their five year old daughter. All delightful people and the children are so naturally polite and helpful. You can never pick anything up without one of them offering to carry it. They've very kindly invited me to stay when I go to Scotland - I'm happy to stay in a hotel, but they're so hospitable that they may insist. I really hope I might manage to fit it in with everything else, but it's going to be a squeeze.
Fiona also recommended a tile company and I looked them up. The tiles are lovely, but they're 150+ miles from here. I'd really need to visit. That's possible in a day, but it prompted me to look up a local firm and they look promising too. So Wink and I will visit there on Monday and, if we don't like their offerings and there doesn't seem to be somewhere else nearby, then it's off to Wiltshire for a day trip.
I really want to get to Scotland next month. That won't happen unless I focus on it and on everything else I need to do before I go. It'll be a push. But I'm good with a deadline. I'm going to crack on with the work and believe I can do it. Next week has some capacity, the week after doesn't. From then on, I'm pretty busy up to the blog party. So next week it is. Apart from Tuesday and Friday.
