We had pizza!!!!!

And not just any pizza, we had oven baked pizza, baked in an oven. Our oven! With our electrics!!

yayayayayayayayayay!!!! What more can I say really, the overuse of the humble exclamation should say it all :-).

But of course, this being me and me being a bit of a blabber mouth, I couldn't possibly leave it at that so I'll let you in on a bit more detail...

Today went very well indeed. I decided to stay at home to see if it had any effect on our friend Mr Sparky. It in fact had no effect at all as he didn't turn up until around 4:30 this afternoon, but his side kick did and he worked like a trojan to get everything done. The poor guy slaved all day long and managed to complete around 95% of the work so we now have working sockets, light switches and kitchen appliances.

I set about removing a crappy cupboard in one of the bedrooms and waited for the RO to get home from work. We decided to pop out the the supermarket to stock up on a couple of things (to fill the fridge of course) and get something for tea. Pizza was already on the cards so that part was easy but it quickly became apparent that we are horribly out of practice in the grocery shopping department and we couldn't decide on any other items to bring home (although a small bag of jam donuts was included somewhere along the line). We did land up buying a few other items for the new kitchen, including a new dinner service as we felt that we had to try to do the new cupboards some justice.

The RO is now whiling away the rest of the evening playing Xbox and I'm catching up on all the blogs that I normally read during the day. Finally we're starting to see the light and feel like this 'small' project will be over soon.

Looks like we'll be spending the rest of the week-end packing our temporary kitchen up and transferring our sparse collection of preserved produce into the cupboards.

Its finally starting to feel like home :-)
