Might be easier to remove the cab under the draining board and fit a dishwasher in. You would need a leg to support the worktop unless it's supported by a wall.
It's tricky to see what's actually easiest without being on site though.
Maybe just wash up by hand is the easiest option.

If it's temporary then I'd say crack on and IKEA bodge it. Metod cabinets are cheap enough, you can often find some worktops (and base units) in their returns section for not much too.
My kitchen at the moment is a slightly random collection of shitty old B&Q kitchen from the previous owner and a few IKEA bodges while I get my act together and decide what to do with the place. It all works and as long as you're not too precious about it (and presumably you're not if you already know it's temporary) then it's pretty easy to get to a state where everything is functional. -
Sorry for the stupid question, but if it's only temporary what is the issue with what's there now?

@ 
Bit of advice (again) please.
I'm in a weird situation where we're putting together a temporary kitchen while we wait on some other stuff to free up another room. We're pretty much good except shy on space for the dishwasher (or washing machine, or cooker).
In the pic attached we've pulled out the counter on the far left and put the fridge there. Then the stove, then the washing machine (sitting under counter top on right hand side). There's 40~cm gap between the cooker and the fridge as is. The sink/cupboard unit is 100cm. Therefore, if we cut that down to ~80ish we'd be golden and have space to slip in the dishwasher. That counter is also a wreck so not terribly fussed replacing it, even if it does end up being temporary.
Any idea what this could cost on the low end of material quality? Is IKEA the best option? Or should I just pay someone to do sort it all out? Or maybe risk ruining Christmas by trying to B&Q bodge it myself? I'm an idiot so that should be kept in mind.
