Finished off two more kitchen organisers............thats 5 I've done altogether - dilemma now is who's having which one.............lol

Really must get wrapping underway.......got to re-organised eldest sons and his girlfriends........sons box has two many empty spaces, girlfriends stuff won't fit in so think the whole lot will go in one basket for them with individual bits labels for each and joint stuff like brownie mix, sos box can be labelled for both.
Got a snowman bag I got from charity shop ages ago for 50p that I can put a few bits and bobs in for grandson
wa!!!!!t like a polar bear -just fits over a gravy tub so I'll fill that with marshmallows
bath stuff I got from charity shop(unused) in a sealed reindeer shaped sachet
Make your own snowman - got that all in a gravy tub

Might well be a few more bits upstairs.............can't remember now............lol I';m sure every time I go in there I create more chaos................lol:rotfl:
