Getting rid of the oven and stove?! Doesn't she realise that might put off future owners seeing as she's constantly saying it's not her forever home?

She’s getting rid of her current oven/stove (which is range style), and planning to change it for an integrated single oven with induction hob on the worktop (plus the previously mentioned microwave).
 
Damn you tattle! Where’s my hat gone!? 😤😢🤣

That you, Gobbles? 😜

We're all in agreement the kitchen (whenever it does get done...who wants to bet mystery health issues will come up in February?!) is going to look like tit, right?! A few thoughts:

- Thank god she's not getting marble. That tit requires a lot of upkeep and it would suck if it cracked when a bowl of noodles gets thrown at her mom.

- White appliances look really dated. Like someone mentioned upthread, just wrap the fridge you have, ya idiot.

- It's very obvious someone who doesn't cook planned the layout. There's very little counter space in general for prep, and it's nowhere near where the cooking gets done (stove/oven). The fridge is so far away from the pantry and what little counter space there is. It just doesn't flow properly. Plus, with all the drawers where's the garbage going to go? I'm assuming it's going to go a corner, 50 meters from where food gets prepped because she hasn't included a pull out one in her little cartoon schematic.

- I don't understand the pantry - she said the fridge has to get pulled out to access the electrical panel currently, so she wants to install a built in floor to ceiling cupboard instead?

- Jane must've convinced her to get an electric stove. Smart move.

- She's going to have to make sure the doors of whatever fridge she chooses can be opened to the left instead of directly into the path of the microwave. Free advice, Gob. You're welcome.

- This isn't her forever home, but she's certainly putting a lot of thought and energy into customizing this kitchen. But then won't buy herself the Smeg 🫠

Her little "my new kitchen will make me want to cook" is giving "new workout clothes will make me want to work out" energy 😂
 
She mentioned the pantry will have access to the electric panel on the lower half.

My main issue is she's always complaining about lack of cupboards and then is taking away the two deep corner cabinets.
But she freely admits she doesn't cook much, so I think what she's doing makes sense for her. She's making it look pretty (in her opinion), not be functional. Which is very on brand for Gobs.

"Oh and I've also got my eye on a pretty air fryer."

The most Gabs sentence I've ever had. Of course she's replacing her perfectly functional one just because it's not the right colour, and will be palming it off to Jane 🙄

You can't expect her to make chips in an ugly air fryer can you? I'm willing to bet a very small amount of money that it's an American air fryer from America and she'll need another bastard giant transformer thing to use it. Because it's American. From America.
Her American girlfriends doppelganger Drew Barrymore has a line of pretty small appliances....

Edit, I finished watching the video and I guess I owe the cosmos a very small amount of money

Her main issue with the current kitchen was lack of cupboard space …. So she’s using one of the cupboards for a dishwasher? She is one singular person …. I know she hoarded cups and bowls but she doesn’t cook with pots/pans so how many dishes can she really have to wash up? Just do them by hand and forget the dishwasher?!!
 
I think people forget about plumbing in the bathroom 🤣 it means you can move your washing machine in there instead of your tiny kitchen.

Lack of storage so shes going to have no top cupboards
 
Gabby in her advent calendar unwrapping today - "I don't get good presents, I don't listen to what people want." Immediately thinking of Cam so bored and unimpressed with her Coach belt. Gabby just gets people what she wants.

To be fair, Cam will never reach the heights of Jane for making Gabby feel like a princess with presents and cake.
 
Sew selfless. How can she spend time with the very few people she has in her life and not have a basic understanding of what kind of gift to get them based on their likes and interests. Not like she has any a huge group of friends with different interests to keep up with. Makes me laugh that she considers herself an empath when she doesn’t even pay attention to others let alone have a deep understanding of their feelings. Also, those glasses need to gew asap.
