    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

  • Hey chapsessess
    Thanks for all of that the pantry is in - its been a very long week with a lot of heartwrenching stuff lobbed in.

    Parent is sick. Plan of action with specialist on Monday. Gah.

    Much appreciate the popping in and loving tales of knickers, cleaning lovers and fly lady haters, I'm lucky the lady who had a slot for me is so cheap 11/hour and thorough (and confidential see above knickers comment) and she's only free once a fortnight so that's all we can have. I love cleaning but I love gardening more.

    Thank you for being with me the now, its nice to focus on something I can control. Larder/Pantry/cupboardy photos in a bit. Needed a few mroe fixings so that was another £25 and extra petrol to pick up the builder brother. I'm broke but we have a wee lovely scullery/storecupboard/pantry.

    XOXOXOXO

    Exit useless utility room with a washing machine and a silly cupboard. Enter 3 new 2.4m shelves perfectly adaptable for our storage boxes and future needs.

    Woop. Clever brother. I'm pretty lucky. Was nice to spend time with him as we found out about parental problems and could laugh and talk and support each other. In between fitting into the tiniest room on the planet with lengths of 2.4m long shelving.

    Mon (come on) the harvest.
