    Chilli powder, Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Curry Powder, Mixed Herbs, Basil, Oregano, Sage, Black (or mixed) Peppercorns, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Ground Ginger, Mixed Spice all get used here.

    I also have some fresh mint growing in an old bucket (stops the beggar from taking over the whole garden!). Often take off the young top shoots and freeze them.

    Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme (where have I heard that before?)

    Mixed herbs (but when current jar runs out, will replace with both Basil (perfect with tomatoes) and Oregano

    Chilli powder (hot - you use less so it lasts longer)

    Cumin (used for both Indian & Mexican dishes - the Spanish got it from India and then took it to the New World)

    Garam Masala (a mix of "warm spices" - that's what it means)
    Turmeric (stains, but fades in sunlight)

    (GM + chilli powder + turmeric = DIY universal curry powder)

    Paprika (from sweet peppers - richest natural source of vitamin C)

    Oh goodness, I think I need another spice rack!!

    Thank you all, am going to have a good look at this and pick some. I'll probably end up buying most and leaving the ones that don't fit in the spice rack in my cupboard!
