And AIBU not to be happy about any of them?

Previous thread here

In a nutshell my insurers are ripping out my kitchen to do repairs caused by a leak from the empty house next door (not the annoying neighbour side).

Because I actually read all the stuff sent tp me and don't rely on what I'm told over the phone, I've now established that the builders are taking out everything. This includes the oven and hob, and the fridge.

Re the fridge, my insurers thought it was going in another room. However as I told them its a bloody massive American fridge freezer. It was delivered without any of the doors on because otherwise it wouldn't have fitted into the house. So I'm not sure how they'll get it out but i don't have anywhere to store it.

So now I will have no kitchen they have said I can have either

A £10 meal allowance a day each
B a temporary kitchen on my driveway if it fits
C be put up in a hotel. However they were actively discouraging me from this!

None of the options is ideal. Especially since we are talking May before this is sorted. I am leaning to the temp kitchen but my bf says this will be awful and i should take the hotel....wwyd?

I am vicariously excited about it! Will you show us pictures? I really am intrigued.

I'm 4 weeks into a kitchen renovation. I would love one of those pop up kitchens.

I'm now also without the kitchen sink and washing up in the bathroom is just dire. It's doable but I hate it.

I only have my lounge to live in so only room for a kettle or toaster on a tray. I'm eating lots of toast or cold meals and instant noodles, pasta pots and porridge.
I would kill for one of those kitchens. I also have teens so know a hotel wouldn't work well for us although I would love a break from the dust!

My friend hired an indoor temporary kitchen from Kitchenpod for a renovation which they loved. www.kitchenpod.co.uk
