KonMari 2016 - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

mrs-moneypenny

Sorry GQ it wasn't a beard on the bread I'd done a typo and must have put bread instead of beard. The school are doing a performance of Ali baba & the 40 thieves in one scene the princess is trying to escape and there is a beard seller in the bazzar with a pole of beards for sale, so she buys one to disguise herself. So she will wear one of the beards but the rest are just to hang from the pole so won't really be worn so don't need to be quite as accurate as the one that is to be worn. It will get rid of a bit of my wool stash and I'm sure the kids will have fun with them
Hope that makes sense

I'm after thoughts on this one... both hygienic wise and storage.


i used to have a breadbin. it broke so got rid. i don't like it just on the side nor keeping in the fridge.


since i moved the baking stuff to the deep drawer i have space in the overhead cupboard. i would also put the butter in too.


if i found a suitable base, e.g. one of my tupperwares that has lost it's lid, is there any reason not to put it in the cupboard.

Seems perfectly sensible to me. My home is very warm, at all seasons, so I keep my bread in the fridge and the butter dish out on the counter, but can't see why what you're proposing above wouldn't work.

My Nan has had a letter giving her 5 days notice that her council landlord are re-roofing her home. Advising tenants to empty loft contents completely/ at the bare minimum, put covers over their stuff.

There's been nothing in her loft bar insulation for 30 + years, so no problem there, but can you imagine if that was to happen to most people?! Or some freak gust of wind just sort-of peeled off your roof and left your Stuff sitting up there in plain view. :eek:

Would you be:

A .Mrs Smug from Smugshire with your empty loft.

B. Slightly cringeing; lots of boxes and bags of Misc up there.

C. Planning to emigrate with immediate effect cos you're never gonna live this down.:rotfl:

If we ever have bread (which is rare ) as I dont really eat it.We keep it in the cupboard.I would find a breadbin on the worktop so unjoyful you wouldnt believe it

Mrs MP I am so glad you cleared up the beards on bread for us :rotfl:As I was like GQ thinking what am I missing here Sounds great and maybe you could make us all one so when we want to avoid some boring person we dont want to speak to We could whip it out of our perfectly kondoed handbag and stick it on :rotfl::rotfl:I would be up for it

Yeah, there's definately that.

I must admit to a certain fascination with some photos which were taken of a curved block of seven garages, in London I think, which had lost their collective roof in a gale. Within the last couple of years, saw it on a newspaper website.

Soooo, there they were, seven suddenly nekkid garages, exposed to the world. From memory, three were so full of carp that it would've been impossible to even walk into them never mind garage your car. Two had some stuff at the end but probably also room for a car, and the last two were empty -presumably the cars were off at work with their owners.

************

On the housing estate where I spent my formative years was a house with an attached garage, which I passed at least twice daily for 10 + years. In front of the garage was a car which did not go, an old C@pri. Once in a blue moon, you'd see the garage door lifted and that the contents was a solid wall of Stuff. Totally impregnable Stuff.

Meanwhile, the car sat out in the weather, waiting for its day as to be renovated. It went from glossy red to matte rose pink with oxidisation. All four tyres were flat. Debris accumuated on the windscreen wipers. Moss grew on them, and on every other flat surface. This 1970s boy racer car gradually rotted for 10+ years and then eventually one day it was gone.

The garage was emptied and the house was sold. The new people have the garage filled top to bottom and side to side, also. This time, the vehicle decaying outside in the weather is a small touring caravan. It's got moss growing on it and its tyres are flat...............:cool:

It's as if that garage and driveway are cursed, somehow.
