You could stack up fruit boxes (Lidl/Aldi) filled with tins etc, stretch some curtain wire across the room and hang shower curtains from it if you can put a screw at each end of the room, instead of using normal curtains.
It won't drop from ceiling to floor as shower curtains are only 180cm deep but they would keep most of your boxes hidden.
I have just done this in the shed/cabin and it works fine, food hidden from view and out of the sun.0 -

My son had been told by several people that he looks like Keanu Reeves.
He also looks about 17 in spite of being six and a half feet tall and in his thirties.
And even though he loves the Matrix movies, 1 & 2 in particular, he cannot stand Keanu Reeve's acting.0 -
I have two passports, my current one and my old one which was returned by the Passport Office with one corner cut off after the renewal. Although it's an expired passport, do you think it would function as proof of ID? In which case, it'll go into the document stash at the folks' place.
DD is 22 and looks about 15 still and uses her child passport (picture taken when she was 14) with no problems at all for ID for pubs/clubs0 -
GreyQueen. He's 18, so he's legal.
He told us getting into the UK at Heathrow was nightmare. His passport was issued when he was 14 and it's good until next year. He was held up for 35 minutes after the inspector accused him of having a "really good fake Canadian Passport". He pulled out his driver's license and the guy still gave him a hard time. After three other people came over and looked at it, a supervisor strolled over and said "same guy, he just grew up" and moved him on. The Greeks basically just smiled and waved him in.
I met the "young" Johnnie Depp back in the late 80s during his Jump Street Days and think my boy's look is more the Captain Jack/current JD look. Same colouring and eyes but his hair is lighter.
Personally, I could stare at Sean Bean's Sharpe all day.0 -

On the way to an organised display I saw a rocket shoot across a main road horizontally in front of traffic and disappear into a kind of hedgerow..."A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!" ~Thomas Jefferson
