Back at the farmhouse since yesterday evening hoping the builder is starting my kitchen today but no sign of him yet 
he did say week commencing the 3rd but didn't say what day lol I'm so impatient I just want it done now lol
Was hoping to get outside jobs done while he's here but there's a few spots of rain on the window again there's miles of fences to be painted and barn doors a plenty that need freshened up and I need to whitewash the inside of the barn my stables are going in that's a mammoth job in itself .... I'm definately getting enough exercise. Food wise I cooked meatloaf salmon & chicken breasts last night to see me through the next few days and I got the faulty microwave changed so now can scramble eggs and make porridge so I won't starve lol forgot to lift my muffins out the freezer on my way up here though
so my diary today is
Day 31 PV
B- oatbran porridge , black coffee
S- home made yoghurt & black coffee
L- salmon fillet 1/2 chicken breast & salad black coffee
D- meatloaf & broccoli sweetened home made yoghurt
1.5 litres water

Had a good night sleep last night no man here to wake me in middle if the night grrr . Kitchen getting started this afternoon so getting a wee bit excited/ nervous that it will look good hubby says he will kill me if I decide I don't like it lol. Eating wise I'm going good as no temptations etc ... Much about the same each day as can't really vary it due to lack of facilities and equipment .. Roll on it all being finished and being able to move in properly

How's that kitchen coming along? (How's the weather?). You're doing brilliantly! Are you taking plenty of pics for the "before" and "after" album? Would love to see any you fancy posting! I'd love to do what you're doing - ok perhaps somewhere warmer though
Two stone off I see - wonderful!

The kitchen is now stripped right back unfortunately they discovered the water pipes in the remainder of the partition wall that was to be taken right back up to the ceiling so it will have to be boxed in again albeit higher than it was so at least there will be a bit more light in that corner. Have taken lots of pics ... Think the Walls are being plaster boarded today then the units will start going in
