Decision Made..until the next one....
DECISION #1: Marble
Can't thank you all enough for your feedback and input into my dilemma yesterday. You all overwhelmingly are in favour of me waiting to get the piece of marble I really want. Great advice - phew! Thanks to all of you who gave tips, advice, recommendations, useful links etc, it was a huge help.
Viera from VT Interiors offered these two links which were very helpful if you're ever considering a marble benchtop.

and

I spoke to my kitchen man this morning and he is going to see if we can use another marble wholesaler, and hopefully find the slab I want sooner rather than later ie honed, no veining. At least hopefully I'll have some choice and fingers crossed won't be serving the turkey on Christmas Day off a sheet of plywood!
Watch this space!
Here's how I'm hoping my kitchen will end up.
DECISION #2: Runner
Most of you were in favour of no runner for the moment, just wait and see how the stairs work when we are in. However, some suggested that it will be slippery and show the dirt, so I may have to look for a carpet alternative.
AWARD: Versatile Blogger

AWARD: Versatile Blogger
On another note, I was delighted to learn that I was awarded a Versatile Blogger Award from the lovely Tina at The Enchanted Home. I have been following Tina's blog for some time and marvelling at the extraordinary house build she is doing in America. It is the most spectacular build with the most incredible attention to detail and the scale of the project is mind-blowing. Tina has always been a very generous and gracious follower and regular commenter on this blog, and her dedication to blogging is astounding. If you haven't checked out her blog you must visit The Enchanted Home.
One of the rules of the Versatile Blogger award is that you must tell 7 things about yourself and pay it forward to 15 more deserving blogs. So firstly, here's the 7 things:
# 1. I used to work as a pianist for Club Med, cruising around New Caledonia. I also had to teach waterskiing and choreography.
# 2. Four years ago I flew to London for 48 hours to audition for the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Cameron Macintosh BBC reality show "I'd Do Anything" which was a competition to find the lead role of Nancy in "Oliver". The winner wins the coveted role and a run in the show on the West End stage. Needless to say I didn't get past the first round!
# 3. My first job out of university, where I studied a Bachelor of Commerce at Bond Uni on the Gold Coast, was working for celebrity agent Harry M. Miller. I fell foul of his infamous client Lindy Chamberlain when I accidentally faxed a 20 page confidential document to her then ex-husband Michael, during their divorce proceedings!
# 4. My last supper would be a bottle of Sauvingon Blanc from Marlborough in NZ, with a dozen Sydney rock oysters (half Mornay, half natural), a fresh fig and prosciutto salad, salt and pepper prawns or calamari and a bowl of hot, crunchy chips. With a delicious cheese platter to finish and a bottle of Noble One.
# 5. When I was 18 and living in London I pretended to be a journalist from Cosmo magazine so I could meet and interview the star of then West End show "Miss Saigon", which I had seen 15 times and had a desperate crush on the male lead. I pretended he was a contender for the Bachelor of the Year contest and got the interview, which was done in his dressing room at the Drury Lane Theatre. Sadly, he turned out to be gay!
# 6. I worked as a freelance TV presenter for years (between styling jobs), starting 8 years ago with Bright Ideas (remember that one) then presented advertorials on GMA, Kerri-Ann and more recently have done ads for Real Insurance. It's the frustrated actress in me.
# 7. My parents, grandparents and uncle/aunt all met and were married in Jamaica in the 60s. My parents were both part-time models, and ended up as extras on the set of the first James Bond movie ever, "Dr No", starring the then unknown Sean Connery. They appear in the airport scene, although to this day we've never spotted them.
So now to my vote for 15 versatile blogs - there are so many I follow and so many I would like to include, but here's my selection in random order. Please stop by and say hello.
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS: I'm still getting reports of technical glitches with my feeds and email subscriptions (ie no photos, copy missing etc), so I am trying to work out what's going wrong. If you experience any problems with the posts please let me know.
