    Hi all,

    I,ve had the day off, and the weather was mostly pants - so I got busy in the kitchen and have gone from several boxes like this

    To one drawer like this

    As for mugs, DH is a builder, so all our not special mugs go with him to be builders mugs :)

    To anyone who hasn't got the book yet there is an audio book on u toob. It last 1 hour and is read by someone who makes it sound really boring but would give you some idea of the book.

    .... As I write this I've just had a ureka moment. I can take all my unwanted mugs, glasses and cutlery to work. Everything in that kitchen dissappears eventually.



    I used to do this when I worked. One day another member of staff started complaining about "the poor quality" cutlery whilst waving one of the spoons I'd brought in the year before :eek::o Somebody jumped in and suggested she brought in replacements if she wasn't happy, as every mug, glass, knife, spoon and fork had been donated:rotfl:
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    I think anyone exposed to Pennywise at a tender age is nervous around clowns. Especially Ronald Macdonald (shudders).

    I don't like clowns, not just because they're creepy, but they're also not funny. I've just finished Paul Merton's autobiography and he loves clowns/

    Years ago when our eldest DD was a toddler we were shopping in Southport and just happened to see a whole load of clowns parading down the road as they were having a clown convention. Scared the life out of our toddler :eek::D

    Impressive...:T I am looking forward to starting the kitchen on Saturday. Have great hopes for it, although I might need some more storage containers for some of the food items!

    Good Evening Konverts,

    Today I revisited the linen cupboard, i didn't get on well ranger rolling any of my towels. I samosaed them instead but i'm just not feeling the joy with them. What did everyone else do with theirs?

    I plan on tackling the toileteries tomorrow.

    Everyone is doing really really well, i am just loving the new areas of space that i have and i haven't been tempted to fill them again, i am far too busy basking in the joy of it all.

    regards
    :j
