Bistro-Set even managed to build the table myself although I was left with 4 clear rubber plugs then realized that they go under the glass :doh: so yip had to take apart and do it all over again this time the correct way. I'm so chuffed that I built this up myself as I must admit hubby usually does all that type of stuff.

... and so you should be. :tu: It only takes a little confidence and then you find you start tackling other jobs and getting a lot of satisfaction from so doing. As for missing out parts, that's something we've all done. I did something similar when building Osem Jnr's Ikea bunk bed and had to take it all apart...

My old man used to joke about doing a car job and ending up with a profit.:erm:

I'm a little more conscientious and consider no leftovers to be a job well done.:)

Well I have two sisters both younger than me if that's what you mean.

Despite getting in late last night/early this morning I was down to Lidl's first thing and picked up 4 dimmable GU10 LED bulbs for a buddy.

2 Tier Carousel Unit for the 925 kitchen corner unit which will hopefully make use of any wasted space.

Just ordered a new element for the fan oven on-line from all-spares. £21.50 inc delivery so not too bad. Fortunately I'd noted the part number for it in the handbook from the last time it went. They last about 5 years but we do use the oven virtually every day and I also bake bread which needs it to go flat out at ~270C Probably hastens the demise.

Although the oven was part of a B&Q kitchen package and branded "Banquet Cuisine" it's actually made by Homark and spares are readily available. The element is used by several other manufacturers as well.

Two 5 metre warm white LED light strips from Amazon for the kitchen. They're to replace eleven 221mm 30W tube lamps 6 above and 5 below the cabinets that are forever blowing and darned expensive to replace. There are some LED drop in replacements but they're even more expensive: Around £10 a pop whereas the two strips are £6.50 odd a piece.

I'll run up a 12v dimmable power supply from the bits and bobs I have lying about to juice them.

Must have got the buying bug: Just ordered a new high gain Freeview antenna kit which includes 10m of co-ax. The old one on the gable has been disintigrating for years but a gale recently rotated it 180 and twisted thro 90 so understandably the picture is not very good.

I'll be trying the new one in the loft* as I can get it to within about 10 feet horizontally from the one on the gable so hopefully it'll get enough signal. I can also route the cable down inside stud walls to the point where the old antenna cable is under the floor and has a junction point.

*I don't do ladders.
