....or somebody else.

A friend - who I suspect fears for her health every time I offer her a cup of coffee - has nominated me for a new kitchen in a Period Living competition:

http://www.periodliving.co.uk/goodwill-award/individual-heroes

I must admit I would love a new kitchen because ours was put in over 20 years ago and I'm a bit fed up of the drawer fronts falling off, the fridge/freezer handles breaking and the oven glass needing to be stuck back in again. It's on a back burner until various other (money generating projects) have been completed so I think it's about five years down the line in terms of when we can afford to do anything with it.

Having said that, there are others in there that look far more worthy when I read the descriptions.

Anyhow, if you could vote for me (Hester Fenwick - pictured holding a duckling in the kitchen with my youngest messy creature), I'd be really grateful. Or if you read through and decide others deserve it more (there are other categories too), I wouldn't blame you 

Thanks

Hester

i have voted for you. Having spent my adult life until very recently in rented military accomodation I feel for anyone living with a 20 year old kitchen - what a nightmare.

I hope you win!

6/6 fertile duck eggs by the way, due to hatch a week on sunday

Thanks Clarabelle - I suspect the nightmare is half of my making and I have promised my friend that if I win I will no longer keep chicks, ducklings or any other livestock in the kitchen (beyond the cats passing through).

So glad you got all fertile eggs - had feedback earlier from another TASer who only got 50% so I was beginning to worry. Fingers crossed for hatching - it's been a complete pain this year but the Cayugas tend to be better than the Appleyards at getting out (and can come a day or two early so put them into shut down by the Friday).

You got my vote. Pleased to see this actually - I won a subscription to the mag so had seen the competition and thought it was a shame I couldn't nominate/vote for anyone...

I voted for you but then I went back in a voted for the lady who feeds the homeless as I thought she deserved one too. There was nothing to say I couldn't vote twice and everyone was so deserving.
