Budgeting for the rest of the work

The budget at the moment is around E12,000, we've got to pay E10,000 for plumbing, E3,000 (I think) for electrics, E15,000 for windows and external doors. We want to complete the works for E50,000.

So just E10,000 to spend on kitchen (budget E2,500 if we're lucky), and all the cementing, plastering, tile-laying and painting that has to happen in the next 3-4 weeks. Tiles will take E600-E1,000 of that, depending just how cheaply we go. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a basic cheap white tile, like you would get from B&Q here. The cheap tiles tend to have gold edging or pink flowers, or some other offputting factor! So, all in all, we’re just on budget if the next bits take the time they should.

And then there’s the furniture...!
