The basic structure is sound. What do I do first: Bathroom, kitchen, flooring, walls-paint/paper.

Up to you. Depends what you intend. Ripping out walls? Removing wall linings? new kitchen, bathroom or just paint and paper type stuff? Start with the hardest, messiest and most time consuming and end with the short, pleasant fluffing about bits.

I would do the kitchen up first. Check out Cabjaks for excellent affordable kitchen cabinets.

Well I've got different take. as we hadn't got much experience and our whole house needing doing we decided to start with an easier reno just to get our hand in. So we started in the bedroom and did that first. It did not need new wall linings so we painted, papered and got new curtains for that room. It did need more plugs but we did those at the time we rewired the whole house. We found this worked as we always had somewhere tidy and new to retreat from the mess.

keep in mind you may end up uncovering some horrors. never assume the basic structure is sound.

If my sisters kitchen reno is anything to go by id advice doing this over summer when it is pleasant to cook outdoors or as she did in the garage.
