The Final 8

We’ve had hundreds of entries to our VikingFM Nightmare Kitchens competition and we just like to say a BIG thank you to all of you who entered.

The judges have read all your emails and looked at all your photos and after long deliberation they’ve picked the top, or should we say bottom 8 …

Rosie from VikingFM’s Paul Foster Breakfast Show will be visiting 4 of the finalists so we can make the final decision.

So here they are, in no particular order. Is yours one of the final 8? Or maybe someone you know?

If you have been selected, Good Luck for next week, Wren Kitchens could be visiting you. Kitchen Heaven is just around the corner for one luck winner.

Hi viking FM, I'm sending the pictures of my kitchen for the competition.

Hi viking FM, I’m sending the pictures of my kitchen for the competition.

I’d just like to say my kitchen has been like this for two years since I got the house. It didn’t have a kitchen in to start with and over the months I have just made do with a few second hand cubboards that have seen there sell by date. The work top is just two odd short pieces placed on the top of the old cubboards, I did get some cheap cubboard doors to make it look a bit decent but it’s still getting me down. I have no sink area as you can see by the pic, there are just pipes sticking out every where with two taps on the end of them. It just looks so dull and i’ve been waiting for this for so long.

It would mean so much to me to just come home and see a beautiful kitchen there, it’d be like a dream come true… please help!

This is my nightmare kitchen!

This is my nightmare kitchen!

I’ve lived with it for nearly seventeen years now, and it really gets me down! It was given to me by my mum, so nothing fits properly. I can’t get into some of the cupboards without doing a contortionist act and now it’s falling to pieces too!

Pleeeeeeeese HELP!!!!!!

Sorry, can't think of a word to describe how brilliant it would be...

Two years ago we moved house. Our reason for moving was to cater for our growing family’s needs. We (the wife and myself) have five sons. The property we moved to was two flats and we have restored it back to its original state of one house.

Over this period of time, my wife has cooked for our family of seven:

Firstly, out of a tiny kitchen in the upstairs flat – she moved out as the chimney came down and we had a gaping hole in the ceiling and a massive hole in the floor. Now, she is cooking for us all out of a temporary kitchen in the living room. I am to be made redundant at the end of this month so we have made no further plans for our new kitchen.

My wife has recently gone back to work, part-time, as a Skills for Life tutor and is finding working and juggling the family hard. She is also studying in the evenings for her PGCE as well as looking after us all.

I hope you will consider us for a new kitchen. It would mean a lot to me but to my wife it would be …..Sorry, can’t think of a word to describe how brilliant it would be for my wife.

I am emailing you with regard to my poor excuse for a kitchen.

I am emailing you with regard to my poor excuse for a kitchen.

We bought this house a couple of years ago with the intention of doing it up but thanks to a head on meeting with a drunk driver I have been left physicaly unable to do the work and as my boss went under soon after the accident I am far too skint to do it!

The remnants of the original units are over 40 years old and rotted through with the doors hanging off and the work surfaces are knackered, not to mention the olive green and tounge & groove decor.

Please consider us for a new kitchen as we are in desperate need!

We really do believe our kitchen is a kitchen from hell!

We’d like to enter your kitchen from hell competition. We really do believe our kitchen is a kitchen from hell!

It all started some time ago when my husband decided to rip our kitchen to bits as it had been in a long time (from previous owners) and really needed doing. The plan was to slowly do it up when we had the cash but then my husband lost his job, so there went the new kitchen idea! With a cooker that does not work amongst other things it really isn’t a practical kitchen, which does not help with 3 young children.
