Worm's World

We are saving money for a new kitchen - something the house needs and I suspect by the time we save the amount (and we haven't worked out how much that is yet) it will be much more needed - the floor is already falling apart and is covered in what we call 'Tiles of Death' because they turn into an ice rink when water spills onto them and crack every time someone drops something.
