Got back home about 4 months ago as and spent a huge amount of time installing a new kitchen and doing two rooms that were not covered by insurance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Ive had a bit of kit for the last 18 months but a very small amount.
