We spent the morning cleaning some areas of the kitchen in preparation for ‘New Kitchen 2 – Day Six’. Whilst this was going on I was also able to load up the washing machine with another batch of washing.

The kitchen was completely stripped leaving only the electrical appliances, including the cooker which is not part of the new design.
