Flying related as asking for advice...


Anyone any suggestions please...

I have a load of boxes, bubble wrap, brown paper,etc for ebay stuff. Trouble is its really, really cluttering up the dining room, really cluttering it up.:o

Does anyone have any suggestions where I could stash it.

All cupboards are full, its the boxes that take up the most room but I require them for ebay items. On top of wardrobes are full also with more boxes. If I put it in the loft it's a big problem to go and get it.

If I put it in the shed, they'll go damp...I'm stuck.

Flatpack the boxes and slide behind or in the bottom of a wardrobe.. they tape together easy enough.. better still, ebay the items they are meant for and post them!!!!!!!!

hello, still kinda new to me the fly thing, but do you have to ask for a star when you complete a day's list?

If yes, then I completed my Monday's things, I think.
one and half hours ironing done, and put away today.

got a message from dd's school, she can finally go back, one week late!!!!

Yes, you do get a star, but you have to shout so that toots and soappie spot you. Well done :T:T:T:T

One hour of pre-interview coaching done for one the people I'm mentoring.

Me too - and did also wonder why your blitzing the house to go OUT on a date....you wouldnt be planning on taking him back??? :D;):p:rotfl:

I'm blitzing the house because I always do. There'll be no taking back (well not on the first date:p;)) because I have a 16 yo DS and a soon-to-be14YO DD so an example has to be set. I'll have to go to his!;););););):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I AM JOKING!

Can you not deconstruct the boxes then they lie flat? Rebuild them as/when needed?

OMG I just understood the secateurs comment! ***blushes becomingly***

Can the boxes be flattened for easier storage? I keep my bubble wrap on top of the kitchen units - there is a plinth so it hides them too. Could the boxes fit inside each other
