I didn't have one.
It's a small project, there's a natural limit as to what it could cost... I was comfortable spending whatever it worked out to be which proved to be almost double the initial uninformed idea I had of the cost. If it had gone higher I would've done it on credit.
But if you're wondering what it worked out to, page 16 has that https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/351228/?offset=375#15779429
Not quite the final figure at that point, but close enough.
Edit: Just realised I spent another £1k on a 6 pans and 3 knives.
