Looks great dob done  :y

Make sure you are careful with the high gloss worktops, they will show scratches very easily......i know i had very similar worktops in my last house  :-[

I had the green ones TD. MFI are hard as nails - B&Q are soft as sugar. I road tested them first with my car keys - that's what display units are for isn't it?  ;)

Nice job! Well done!!

We're having a new kitchen fitted next Monday. I'd have done it myself, but I just don't have the time.

Tell you what though, Just trying to get someone to give us a quote for a new kitchen was a joke!! We ended up going for an Ikea one!! WQe even had the typic al kitchen salesman who quoted us £12k then dropped the price to £6k, 'If I'd sign right there and then', when I told him he was completely out the ballgame, even though I'd told him under no uncertain terms I wouldn't be signing anything that day!!

I hate B&Q, Homebase and Focus, sell the big stuff cheap and then rip you on the stuff you need to go with it. Wickes is the dogs danglies, but there again it is more set up towards tradesmen but i tend to use Screwfix more than any of these ;)
