Renovating or saving?

We've been renovating for almost three years now, and it will probably be well in 2013 before everything is finished. That's not just a time issue, but also a money issue; we do everything from savings, and we don't really have any savings anymore.

So right now, I'm kind of wondering what would be best: continue, or stop for a while and save some money.

Pro's and con's for continuing:
+ We'll finish sooner
- We have to continue to live from day to day, depleting whatever savings we have left, etc.
- We might have to compromise, which we don't really like

Pro's and con's for stopping:
+ We can save more money
- It takes longer
- If the pressure of having no money is not really present anymore, it might even cost us more as well.

What would you do, and why?

Work and new kitchen

Last week has been a busy week and this weekend probably won't be any different. But I'm not complaining (oh, I am, but that's just because of the workload), it's great to have so much work during a crisis, which is what we're at now, if I read the news correctly.

Anyway, I do have some great news to share :-) Last summer, we renovated a part of the house that turned into a great relaxing space for me, and only one thing is still lacking: a small kitchen/counter with a sink and tap, so I can make my tea upstairs, without having to go to the kitchen. Lazy, I know, but when BF is not at home, me and the cat often just sit upstairs, since that's much cosier if it's just us. We didn't get to installing it, because we had other (financial) priorities. But today, BF told me he had saved up some money and I could use that for my new kitchen! I might even get a discount, but I'm not sure about that yet.

So if I don't feel like working, I just dream a little about my kitchen, and get on with it, since I can't use it if I'm too busy working :-)

How's your weekend?
