Our bread and toaster is in the dining room. slice and toast and eat in the same place.

(and kitchen is too small for breakfast and all items)

I see. I do actually have a bread basket for the dining room for when peoe are staying (rarely have bread other wise, but sliced lives in the freezer i am afraid). Those ones are very stylish, i like them.


I am about to start haunting ebay for a bed. Again. Ours is kaput really. Seen a nice one but too early too bid.....

I really really really want a bread box but it's £60

If I put bread in a bread box.... I forget it's there, forget to use it ... and it goes green.

I want an integrated box + chopping board, the ones on the market are quite small. We have crumbs all over, so would like to be able to sweep everything up/tip everything back into the box.

Cut the loaf on a tray .... and use a standard plastic/see-through food storage box to keep the bread fresh

Then we have crumbs all over the dining table. Eating dinner with crumbs sticking to you is not that pleasant after a while.

And toast is eaten for breakfast every day here so a reasonable solution is required

I own a proper bread knife.... cost me a fortune it did... about £10 I think. It's got a lifetime guarantee and a magnetic strip in the knife holder... I bought it when I made some loaves ... and had never needed to cut bread ever before.

As it turned out, I was rubbish at cutting bread.

The typhoon bin is smaller than it looks, we bought it and sent it back.

Quite like the rubberwood one but what is rubberwood?

No idea, but the correlation between gold/silver and internet madness is quite remarkable.

I used to have a rubberwood table ... it's eco/green/sustainable wood. I bought my little table about 25 years ago, so it's not a new thing ... and I've had some, so it's not a posh thing either
