Getting there?

So, we're at the halfway stage of our time in the rented flat. Today we chose the kitchen, and I will order the appliances soon. We also chose carpet for our new bedroom, upstairs landing and stairs. The builders have started putting down the wood floor we chose for the downstairs areas. It's looking good (although hard to see from these pics!):

And here's another couple of pics of the kitchen/dining room, now ready for the floor to be laid and then for the new kitchen to be fitted. Exciting!

Work continues and we move out!

So we have decamped to a temporary home for a month. We're in a nice, clean and DUST-FREE flat. It's not huge but it's fine for a while.  

No sooner had we moved out than the builders started knocking down walls between the kitchen and dining room!  Here are some pics:

Dining room before

And after the walls are down!

So we're hoping working continues apace so that it'll be more or less ready for us when we move back in on 30 November!
