i have a dilemma. weve just come in to some money. not much you understand but enough to either buy a nice new kitchen or go on a cracking ski holiday this christmas! now i know the sensible argument is that a kitchen lasts longer, puts value on the house blah blah blah, but i reeeeely want to go skiing! unfortunately my lovely lady has other ideas! what do you think, i have a feeling there could be a divide between the sexes here! no pressure but the most answers gets it! the decision - is yours! paul.....

Paul - I'd go for the kitchen I'm afraid! But then, I'm a keen cook and ski-ing has never appealed.....!

i would say the kitchen.i know that sounds boring but a kitchen will last you a lot longer than a skiing trip.save up for the skiing trip next year.

I'd say get a new Kitchen. It would be best in the long run. The value it would put on your house would give you the oppotunity to go on an even better trip in the future.

I''d go for the kitchen, but then I don't fancy skiing. It might also pay to keep herself happy - then you will be happy!!! Ann Glos

come on paul you know it makes sense go for the kitchen.what does your partner think or are you single.if so there will be a few g.r members that would change their minds about the kitchen and tell you to take them on the skiing trip!

so far its 8 for skiing and 11 for the kitchen! AAARRGGHH! i suppose she will be happy. i think if skiing wins i'll need someone to take anyway coz i'll be back on the market! 2 and a quarter hours till i finish work and the final decision is made! come on you skiers!! x

kitchens are expensive to buy though paul ours was £6000 so sensible head is still swaying towards the kitchen.but the skiing trip sounds a better option.decisions decisions!
