[The Kitchen Collection HD Laurel Hex Multi Porcelain Tile by British Ceramic Tile]

_I think this might be my dream kitchen. It features The Kitchen Collection HD Laurel Hex Multi Porcelain Tiles from British ceramic Tile_

So in my last post I told you guys all about my planned bathroom makeover which is due to start in just under two weeks…I’m so freakin’ excited I might just explode! But today I wanted to share another exciting project with you as we are also doing a kitchen makeover, YAY!! I can’t even begin to tell you how badly it needs a revamp, it makes me shudder every time I go into the kitchen. You see, as I’ve explained before here, the guy who owned our flat before us fancied himself as a bit of a property developer, but almost everything he did here sucks!! The kitchen itself was brand new but the workmanship is just appalling and so shoddy. The kitchen floor tiles are all uneven and when we first moved in we were constantly tripping up on them. The wall tiles have been applied using dabs of adhesive here and there so they are all uneven too and he didn’t use spacers either. He replaced the light fitting and did an awful job there, it looks really messy. It really is just shocking and I can’t wait to remove all trace of his not-so-handy-work with our kitchen makeover!

In my last post, I explained how I had the opportunity to have a one-to-one consultation with DIY-expert Jo Bahari as part of MoneySuperMarket‘s #MSMHomeImprove campaign. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the fact that making improvements in and around your home can have an effect on your home insurance policy and sometimes even drive it down. We’ve mostly done a a bit of cosmetic work so far such as painting and wallpapering and we’ve had a few new carpets fitted, but the plans we have for our bathroom and kitchen makeover are a bit more extensive.

[The Design Sheppard Kitchen Before]

_Our kitchen as it is now, cluttered and severely lacking storage space. (Please excuse the appalling pictures)_

We currently have a beech kitchen that looks like every other budget kitchen fitted throughout the UK. Whilst there is nothing wrong with it, I would like it to be a bit more individual and unique. Our budget won’t stretch to a new kitchen sadly because if it would I’d be straight down to IKEA for a new Metod kitchen or I’d go with Magnet Kitchens as they have some great space saving designs. But we plan to make some small changes such as painting the cabinets, replacing work tops, sink, tap and hob (and eventually the oven) and we will be replacing all the wall and floor tiles.

[Magnet Kitchens Plinth Drawer]

_Magnet Kitchen’s Plinth Drawer_

Our kitchen is quite small and doesn’t really make the best use of the space. We are sorely lacking in storage space. We currently only have one double cupboard that we use to store food and all the others are used for kitchen equipment. My husband is a real foodie and loves to cook so we have excessive amounts of pots, pans and ingredients. As a temporary measure, when we moved in we put up some open shelves. This is quite trendy at the moment but only looks good when used to display pretty things. Half used bags of pasta and rice really don’t look good on open shelves and make the whole kitchen look even more cluttered. So they have to go and we need to come up with some alternative storage solutions that won’t break the bank.

One wall in the kitchen is pretty redundant . It features a 1970’s style hatch through to the living room which we actually find really useful having two small kids we need to keep an eye on. But this means we don’t have any wall cabinets on this wall. Again we have temporarily put up a shelf above the hatch which looks awful. We can’t really put kitchen cabinets on this wall as we wouldn’t be able to get into the kitchen if we did. We need to get creative so that we can use this wall to create additional storage.

Finally we have a real lack of work surface. I have considered adding a fold down solution under the hatch but as this is where the radiator is this would not really work.

So as well as getting advice about my bathroom, Jo also offered some helpful tips regarding my kitchen. I explained all the issues I just described and here are some of Jo’s suggestions:

  Storage is clearly the key issue for you and I would suggest a couple of things. You could fit a wall unit between the fridge and the extractor and also another one where you currently have the cover shelves. Also over the hatch you could use a couple of the VALJE wall units from IKEA and maybe a wall unit over the kitchen window.

[IKEA valje-wall-cabinet-with-door-white]

  You can install a small half shelf in the cupboards for things like spices and cooking ingredients. And for the corner cupboards things just get lost unless you use something like this solution below. You can buy these interior fittings from most hardware stores and they should fit easily to the units but check before you buy.

[IKEA UTRUSTA corner base cabinet pull-out ftting]

  As for the lack of work surface I think once you start putting a few more wall units in you won’t notice it so much as the kitchen will feel less cluttered. You can put a section of work surface over the tumble dryer. And if you put a small shelf above this you could put the gadgets and appliances on the shelf to maximise work surface space.

So again, some great ideas from Jo and it’s given me plenty to think about. I’m still scared to get going with this project but at the end of the day things can’t get much worse so whatever we decide to do will be an improvement! I’ll keep you posted on our progress! And if you have any suggestions please feel free to share them as I’m always interested to hear from you guys!

So I really love to write short stories, but I never feel confident enough to share them so comment and give me advice!

Beep Beep! I groggily rubbed my eyes and checked the time, 8:13, way too early for a Saturday. Oh well, I won't be able to fall back asleep now that the rays of the early mourning sun trickled into my bedroom. I picked up my phone, I had gotten a text from an unknown number it read:

C u soon my little angel- Dad

Must be a wrong number, I thought, my dad died when I was little. I don't remember him and I live alone with my mom. I just shrugged it off and got ready for the day.

I was still brushing my long brown hair as I walked down the stairs to the kitchen. "Mmmm Mom, that bacon smells delicious, is there some for me?" I entered the kitchen to the aroma of a homemade breakfast.

"Of corse Amber, I also made pancakes! Come sit down at the table with me." I helped her bring the food to the table and we both sat down to eat.

"This food is delicious Mom, what made you want to make such a big breakfast?"

She looked around nervously, "Can't I make a breakfast without you thinking there's some ulterior motive?!" She laughed and I smiled, I still had a feeling something was up.

I was right.

"Okay Amber you got me, I do have news and you're not going to like it." I raised and eyebrow as if to say 'okay what is it?' "We're moving away, again."

"WHAT?" I shouted as I stood up, "I thought you said we were going to finally settle down!"

Mom sighed, "I know what I said but I found a job in New York that I can't deny."

"So we're moving across the country for a job again? Why can't we just live in one place for over a year? I'm in High-school  now, it's already hard enough for me to make friends without being the new kid all the time." I stormed out of the kitchen up into my room slamming the door behind me.

***********************************************************

That night I had a very strange dream, I was in a bedroom that was on fire. I was a baby in a crib and I couldn't get out. Suddenly a man entered the room and came over to pick me up. He looked into my eyes and said with a frown, "You should have never been born, now the witches are angry and you must die," he began to pick me up but was struck from behind, he got up and turned around to see my mother. She took a burning piece of wood and struck him across the face with it. When she was sure he was dead she picked me up and ran out the door.

***********************************************************

I woke up sweating, it was 1:32 in the mourning and was still dark. My mom burst in the room, "I heard you scream," she panted, "are you okay?"

I burst out crying as I told her about my dream, she just sighed and sat on my bed. "I guess it's time I told you the story of your father. So about 20 years ago your father, Andrew was a part of some sort of group. The men of the group served these witches who provided them with wealth and safety, but they were to be married to one of the witches. Andrew didn't want to marry them so he left. We met a few years later, got married and had you. When you were still young something happened to Andrew, he started to act strange saying, the witches are angry the girl must die. I got scared when he tried to kill you with a steak knife so I took you and ran. I stayed with a friend for a while until Andrew found us and set the house on fire. Your dream was a memory of him trying to kill you. I've been on the run from him ever since."

I was silent for a few minutes, this was a lot to soak in at once, "I'm going to go take a walk." Mom nodded and I got up and left.

It was still dark out as I walked down the street, None of the steetlights were on and no one was around. My head was spinning with so many questions, where is he now? Will he hurt my friends? Then it hit me, the text was from my dad, he's here! I turned and started to run back to the house to tell mom but I ran into a man. As I got back on my feet and rubbed my head I started to apologize, "I'm so sorry sir, I-" I looked up at his face and gasped, "Dad?"

Well that's part 1, please tell me what you think. I'll have Part 2 up soon!

answer: She dreamt that she was in a burning bedroom as a baby and a man entered to pick her up.

answer: Amber dreams that she is a little baby in a crib. Her bedroom is on fire. A man enters the room and tries to pick her up. He says that she should have never been born and now the witches are angry. Her mother enters the room by then and hits the man with a burning piece of wood.

answer: She dreamt a man was trying to kill her.

text: "She dreamt a man was trying to kill her." - missing a few important details, like the burning bedroom and that she was still a baby.

refinement: She dreamt a man was trying to kill her while she was still a baby in her crib while the bedroom was on fire. Her mom saves her by hitting the man in the face with a burning piece of wood.

answer: Amber had a dream of being in a burning bedroom with her father coming to kill her. Her father, who she thought had died when she was young, later comes to find her and tells her he was part of a group serving a group of witches. Her father tries to kill her in the dream, but her mother saves her.

text: "with her father coming to kill her" - Amber doesn't know who the man in her dream was. Replace "father" with "man".

What is the story behind Amber's father?

answer: Amber's father was part of a group of men who worked for witches. He did not want to marry one of the witches, so he left and eventually met Amber's mother. Shortly thereafter, he tried to kill Amber with a steak knife. He was struck and killed by her mother, but resurfaced in Amber's dream. After this realization, Amber is panicked and uncertain of her future.

text: "so he left and eventually met Amber's mother" - fails to mention that they got married, her mom got pregnant and they had her.

He did not want to marry one of the witches, so he left and eventually met Amber's mother, they got married, and they had her. Shortly thereafter, he tried to kill Amber with a steak knife. He was struck and killed by her mother, but resurfaced in Amber's dream. After this realization, Amber is panicked and uncertain of her future.

text: "Amber's father" - introduce Andrew by name.

refinement: Amber's father, Andrew, was part of a group of men who worked for witches. He did not want to marry one of the witches, so he left and eventually met Amber's mother, and they had her. Shortly thereafter, he tried to kill Amber with a steak knife. He was struck and killed by her mother, but resurfaced in Amber's dream. After this realization, Amber is panicked and uncertain of her future.

text: "Shortly thereafter, he tried to kill Amber with a steak knife. - Andrew just didn't go nuts, something happened to him and he started acting strange. Add that he kept saying the witches were angry and the girl must die.

Shortly thereafter, something happened to Andrew and he started acting strange. He kept saying the witches are angry so the girl must die, and he tried to kill Amber with a steak knife. He was struck and killed by her mother, but resurfaced in Amber's dream. After this realization, Amber is panicked and uncertain of her future.

text: "He was struck and killed by her mother, but resurfaced in Amber's dream." - he wasn't struck and killed by Amber's mom. She took Amber and ran to a friend's house, which her dad set on fire.

refinement: Amber's father, Andrew, was part of a group of men who worked for witches. He did not want to marry one of the witches, so he left and eventually met Amber's mother, and they had her. Shortly thereafter, something happened to Andrew and he started acting strange. He kept saying the witches are angry so the girl must die, and he tried to kill Amber with a steak knife. Her mom took Amber and ran to a friend's house, but her father tracked them down and set the house on fire. After this realization, Amber is panicked and uncertain of her future.

answer: Amber's father died when she was young and her mom has been on the run from him ever since. Recently, a text from him arrived and her father appeared where she was walking in the middle of the night. Her father is most likely after her for revenge.

text: "Amber's father died when she was young and her mom has been on the run from him ever since. Recently, a text from him arrived and her father appeared where she was walking in the middle of the night. Her father is most likely after her for revenge." - all three statements are inaccurate and don't answer the story behind Amber's father. A complete rewrite is needed.

refinement: Twenty years ago, Amber's father, Andrew, was part of a group of men who served witches in exchange for wealth and safety, but they had to marry the witches. Andrew refused to marry a witch and left the group. He met Amber's mom a few years later, got married, and had her. When Amber was still young, something happened to Andrew. He started acting strange and kept saying that the witches are angry, the girl must die. Her mom took Amber and ran after Andrew tried to kill Amber with a steak knife. They went to a friend's house, but Andrew found them and burned the house down. Amber's dream was actually a memory of her father trying to kill her.

answer: Amber's father was a part of a group that served witches, who in return gave them wealth and safety. But the rule of the group was that they had to marry one of the witches. Amber's father didn't. Soon her parents had Amber but her father tried to kill her once. And since then Amber's mother has been trying to keep her safe and away from her husband, Andrew.

answer: It seems that his father was part of a group who served witches, he tried to kill Amber (the narrator) and her mother when word got out that Andrew preferred to not marry the witch he was supposed to marry. Andrew is no longer alive.

text: "he tried to kill Amber (the narrator) and her mother when word got out that Andrew preferred to not marry the witch he was supposed to marry. Andrew is no longer alive." - these statements are false. Andrew is still alive. He also didn't try to kill Amber "when word got out" that he didn't want to marry the witch he was supposed to because he was already a few years removed from leaving the group when he met and married Amber's mom. A complete rewrite is needed.

refinement: Twenty years ago, Amber's father, Andrew, was part of a group of men who served witches in exchange for wealth and safety, but they had to marry the witches. Andrew refused to marry a witch and left the group. He met Amber's mom a few years later, got married, and had her. When Amber was still young, something happened to Andrew. He started acting strange and kept saying that the witches are angry, the girl must die. Her mom took Amber and ran after Andrew tried to kill Amber with a steak knife. They went to a friend's house, but Andrew found them and burned the house down. Amber's dream was actually a memory of her father trying to kill her.

answer: Amber does not know about this or she's been kept away from it by her mother. Andrew was involved in some sort of witches or group where the members were wealthy and received protection. He didn't follow the contract. At some point, Andrew flipped out saying Amber must die then he tried to kill her.

The scale of slavery in the UK is far larger than previously feared, according to figures showing that between 10,000 and 13,000 victims could be trapped.

Imprisoned domestic staff, women forced into prostitution, agricultural and factory workers and trafficked men, women and children are among those counted in analysis for the Home Office.

Data from the National Crime Agency’s Human Trafficking centre last year put the number of slaves in the UK at 2,744,the BBC reported, but the estimate for 2013 is more than quadruple that number.

It is reportedly first time the Government has made an official estimate of the scale of the crime, using statistical methodology and models to estimate a “dark figure” that may not have come to previous attention.

The Home Office told the BBC the “tentative conclusions” of its analysis is that the number of victims is higher than thought.

According to the estimate, the victims included people trafficked from more than 100 countries – most commonly Albania, Nigeria, Vietnam and Romania - as well as British-born adults and children, the BBC reported.

A 57-year-old victim, from Ireland, had secretly accessed a phone and called a charity to say she had been held against her will for decades.

Charities say modern slavery can include forced labour or bonded work, where people have to pay off debts, forced marriages, prostitution and domestic servitude.

The threat of violence against a slave or their loved ones, loss of wages or reports to authorities leading to deportation are frequently used to stop victims leaving.

A case handled by Anti-Slavery International shows how human traffickers lure victims in with the promise of lucrative jobs abroad.

A 26-year-old Lithuanian woman told the charity she saw an advert for cleaning and waitressing jobs in the UK and travelled to England with a man from the “job agency”.

But when she arrived her passport was confiscated and she was forced to work as a prostitute to repay the cost of her travel.

“When we arrived he took my passport away and told me I had to work as a prostitute,” she said. “He said I owed him money for the travel and I would pay him back this way.”

The latest figures come as the Modern Slavery Bill, backed by Theresa May, passes through the House of Lords.

It aims to give law enforcement agencies increased powers to tackle offenders, provide harder punishments and better support victims.

Introducing live sentences for perpetrators, it also created an independent anti-slavery commissioner, Kevin Hyland.

The bill also brings in a new legal defence for victims of slavery who are forced to commit a crime and closes gaps in the law to make it easier to stop boats suspected of carrying trafficked people.

Businesses over a certain size will have to disclose what action they have taken to ensure there is no modern slavery in their business or supply chains, including sweatshops.

The Home Secretary called modern slavery an “appalling crime” that has no place in society in the UK or around the world.

“It is an affront not just to the dignity and humanity of the people crushed by it but to every one of us,” she added.

“Modern slavery is a complex problem and legislation is only part of the solution.

“It also requires tireless and coordinated effort across government and law enforcement, work with other countries to tackle the problem at source, and increased awareness within all communities, including the business community.”

"Huh. Fine greeting you have there baldy." The lanky redhead stood a full two inches above the commander. No... redhead didn't quite describe it. It looked as if Satan himself had set fire to her skull leaving her skin scar white on her muscular frame. Looking at some of the other wave lengths I noticed she was carrying an omni rifle on her back and an old 1911 .45acp pistol under her shirt. She wasn't wired though - so that rifle was running on stand alone mode only. She looked like she could fight  and judging by the scars on her face and body she had survived a few of them.

Suddenly that pistol was in her hand. Barrel under Erwin's jaw. I saw it - although it did surprise me - not enough to stop me from bringing to bear my side arm before she could finish the fluid, much practiced, movement.

Her eyes glanced to mine and she chuckled deep in her throat. "Faster than me on a reaction. Good soldier." I could hear the sarcasm in her voice, taste the acridity of her words in my ears. So I smiled at her nonchalantly, "Thank you 'mam. The U.S. of A. aims to please in these desolate times." Her eyes met mine. An emotionless sizing up passed between us and she let the weapon glide back to it's holster smoothly and elegantly.

"It's been long time since I've heard of that country." She walked and talked back around the couch, "You dick heads are still meddling in everyone else's business even in a time like this."

Erwin, still as cheerful as ever, gave a small laugh and looking at this redheaded bitch conspiratorially talked at her. "Well us Americans planned this whole thing as an excuse to come over and take hikes around your cities with no people to bother us. We thought some German air would do us good." He let that smile go off again.

It worked. She cracked a grin back at him and following his lead joined him in banter. As they ranted back and forth about the weather here versus the states and the state of politics, a moot point nowadays - they went with the scientist and engineers, she walked back around from the couch she had been rummaging behind.Still chatting with Erwin, that stocky, bald silver-tongued louse, she handed him a duffle bag. He peeked inside and his face lit up even more. "How bout that!" then turning back to her, "Say mam, what's your name?"
She let a smile a flit about her lips looking at Erwin. "Brynhildr Hindar"

"Nice to meet you Bryn. Name's Erwin."

"What. No surname?'

"No mam. We dropped those when we came together. No family's to identify to anymore. We're just walking dead men anyhow." The smile never left his face but it lost all sincerity.

"Now if you don't mind - I'm going to hand out this food. Then you and I need to have a long talk."

~I think that this is quickly becoming a little more than a short story. I had no idea this would take off like this - but it's cruising now and all I can do is be drug along with the plot. Captivated by the story as I write it - Who knew writing could be fun?

I only write short bits due to schedule but I have so much more waiting to be put down and I'm just sharing them as I do. However, if this is going to be as long as I think it will be, I don't want to continue to spam /r/short stories so I'll start consolidating my bits into chunks.

SUSAN DOUGLAS RUBEŠ C.M. (13 March 1925 – 23 January 2013) was an Austrian-born Canadian actress and producer. She was sometimes credited as SUSAN DOUGLAS or SUSAN RUBES.[1]

Life and career

Rubeš was born ZUZKA ZENTA BURSTEINOVÁ in Vienna, Austria, the only child of Charlotte and Alfred Burstein. Her family was Jewish.[2] When Zuzka was a child, her parents moved to a farm in Czechoslovakia, where they bred race horses. Her family took her to the theater or opera in Brno, and, on occasion, would visit Zuzka's maternal grandmother in Vienna, the manager of the Burgtheater.[3] She began studying ballet at the age of eight. In 1939, Alfred and Charlotte moved to Paris to escape the German invasion, and a year later, Zuzka and her mother moved to the United States to escape the war in Europe, three months before the Germans invaded Paris. Emigration to the U.S. was allowed on the basis of annual quotas. Charlotte was allowed in the country on the basis of her birth in Italy, as Italy's quota had not been filled for that year. Alfred Burstein moved to London to work for the Czechoslovak government-in-exile.[4]

As Charlotte was not happy in her marriage, she arranged a divorce _in absentia_ in Las Vegas and married Edward Weinberger, an agriculturalist.[5] Zuzka learned English (her fourth language) by watching three movies a day. Under the name Suzi Burstein, she attended George Washington High School in New York City. After graduating in 1943, she changed her name to Susan Douglas. Her first name, Zuzka, is Czech for Susan, while she selected Douglas from a phone book.[6][7][8]

Beginning in 1945, she began a career spanning radio, television, theater and film; she was both an actress and producer. Her 1947 movie debut was in _The Private Affairs of Bel Ami_.[9] Following the film, she was offered a standard seven-year contract by Albert Lewin of MGM, but turned it down to live in New York.[10] Between 1946 and 1959, she appeared on hundreds of television shows,[11] including both the radio and TV versions of _The Guiding Light_. As her character was unmarried and she was pregnant three times during her appearance on _The Guiding Light_, the producer had her character sick and in an oxygen tent for the first child, and using a wheelchair for the second child, then finally had her character killed off for the third.[12]

In 1953, she co-starred with James Dean in the half-hour Campbell Summer Soundstage television special: “Something For an Empty Briefcase”.

In 1959, she moved to Toronto. In 1963, she began introducing plays to schools.[13] She founded the Young People's Theatre in Toronto in 1965, with the goal of introducing children to the live theater experience.[14] This was renamed the Susan Douglas Rubes Theatre Center in 1977. Today, the main venue is known as the Susan Rubes Mainstage.[15] In 1972 she served as associate editor of _A Collection of Canadian plays_, volume 4.[16] She remained artistic director of the center until 1979,[17] then moved to CBC Television.[18] From 1982-86, she was the head of CBC Radio Drama. From 1987–89, she was president of the Family Channel.[19]

Personal life

She married the Czech-Canadian opera singer Jan Rubeš on September 22, 1950 in New York City.[20] Later the same year the couple appeared together in _Forbidden Journey_.[21] The couple had three sons: Christopher (died 1996), Jonathan, and Anthony.[22] They remained married until his death in 2009.
