I'm thinking of sticking the kids' shoes in a tub each and them keeping them in their bedroom - what do you think?
They won't be strewn all over the conservatory floor then and their isn't really enough room for everyones' shoes in the box we keep them in. I need to get rid of some of mine I think - I've got some heeled shoes which have been hardly worn as they were my work shoes in my old job but I wear flatties all the time now as no way would I be able to scrawl around after kids all day in heeled shoes - I don't how some of the other staff do it!

Level Three

I hate to admit to be wrong but DH did suggest that when we built the utility room. I have a 9kg w/m but it still is a never ending task. First load of the day in progress.....
