Easy!
Work out how long the kitchen will take you to fit.
Add a couple of days to your estimate.
Tell the wife, in your best 'you-win' voice; 'Ok dear, I'll get a fitter in and you go off and stay with your mother/Centre Parks... I'll go off and stop with a mate whilst the works being done. Dust, mess etc.. much easier'.
Pack her off. You bash away at kitchen once she's away. Get it done and Bob's your auntie: £1000 spare to spend on you and your mates in a beer haven of your choice for a couple of days! Every one's a wiener.
+ you then have 'Guilt-credit' to use when you want to start your next project that she objects to! 'Seeings how you wouldn't trust me to take on the kitchen...'
Genius, No?
