kiwi - you are extremely persuasive (and graphic!). Spoken with experience. Just to clarify - I would still keep the 1320 between stove / fridge and island, plus the 1300 on the other side so plenty of walk space to the pantry. Just bring the island closer to sink so 1200mm there only. Whaddya reckon? A pretend lunch practice thing might be the go, tho'. Good tip!

bringing it over.


nar...1200 from bb to sink is too small IN MY MIND

I recon 1300 all around, but go make lunch and see......

Ha ha ha, oh my god kiwi, is that what we have to look forward to as they grow up?! Laughing still! Although why should we expect anything less knowing what we got up to, pinching a bit of everything from the parents booze cabinet and making a lovely cocktail to take to the "disco"!

As for kitchen measurements - checking ours now - as in whe we're living and what were going to have.

Yep 1670 down the long wall (oven wall) and 1200 from the short wall (window/cooktop to end of island bench.)
Probably not to much of a problem for me considering the occassional time the oven goes on

yes, watch out people, gogo is opening the oven door to get something out.

oh, people are watching cos it is like an eclipse!!
watch your backs...oh, you dont have too cos there is HEAPS OF SPACE!!!!

im yelling a lot ay.

Oh dear, we're stuffed too then as only have 1.2m in our plans (but we only have 1 m where we are the mo, so it will feel lovely in comparison!)

1.2 m o oh, no spag bol and a sandwich..one or the other!!!


sunshine is it weird we are going from my house to yours. tonight?
ha ha

it is only 10 cms..I am sure in the big scheme of things, it will be fine!!

Yep, the lovely life of teenagers, they want to believe we dont know what they get up to
Yeah right, i was innocent
Mind you my DS has had a few big nighters and one night I had one of his friends whom I have known since they were 5, in my bathroom vomiting, crap everywhere, black sh!t up the walls over 1.5 high wtf, what the hell is it and how did it get there (This coming from a nurse) and he tried to tell me he hadnt vomited or been drinking, he has ben warned he is only allowed in the downstairs bathroom in the new house, the johnno vomit room

dont cry, you know it is true

nah, just super up close and personal.

black vomit..so wrong on so many levels, esp putting it on youtube, which we didnt have THANK GOODNESS!
nothing is sacred anymore....

I dont know if they did....but do you want to bet they did??!!

Yeah probably of my arse bent over cleaning the bl00dy walls after he tried to do it with toilet paper at 4.30am

I saw that one. was that you?.
you could have worn some knickers with that house dress from 1952 you had on.

it aint 1952 anymore.

things can go viral if you aint careful..and I dont mean disease, I mean YOU TUBE (I have to yell in every post)

you might also want to get those dags looked at while in florida. I hear they can fix anything in america.
ok, so back to kitchen.................................. ha ha

how wide you going sunshine?

10 cms can make all the difference...ask hubby

Again Kiwi tou are so wrong on so many levels
And why on earth would we ask hubby, isnt it all about us Ask the female if 10cm makes any difference

its width not length..........

that makes all the difference!

and as sunshine has 10 cms to play with, is she going to widen her 'area'
