    I have one deep drawer in my kitchen that I think is designed for saucepans. Woe betide Mr KK if he puts them in there incorrectly! πŸ˜‰

    I have my pans in a corner cupboard. There are a lot I don’t use but I’m wary of getting rid as soon as I do all the family will. descend and find out I need them. Ds has some nice coloured casserole pans stacked on his sideboard which look good and are easily accessible and he can’t access any high cupboards. His sideboard is in the room next to his kitchen.

  • Pans are in the oven as mostly use the airfryer. I have handbags in one of the Β drawers in my divan bed and spare toiletries in the other drawer . Don’t change handbags as often as I did when I was working.Β

    I have a small kitchen with not a lot of cupboard space so I only have the minimum number of pans that will fit in the little cupboard over the oven fan extractor. My large lidded ovenproof frying pan is stored in the oven as I tend to use this for most one-pot type meals. Also have my little omelette pan in the drawer under the oven with the roasting/baking tins. Crock Pot sits on top of the shredder on the kitchen floor as it's too big to put away!

    Day bag currently in use ie with my purse, power pack etc in it hangs on the bottom corner of the bed so it's immediately there if I need to leave in a hurry.Β  I have too many others and need to get round to selling some, but for the moment they're in a fabric box on shelves.Β  I bought lots as somehow having boxes all the same size and colour looks restful and tidy - and it means I fully use the under bed space now too.Β 

    Very amused to hear I'm not the only one who gave up on the oven after buying a Ninja!Β  I thought it was just me!
