It must be clearing the understairs cupboard day as OH and I have just done ours. It began with a cupboard in the kitchen, where things like serving bowls and platters live, and then the on where the decent crockery and glasses live since we made a decision to use them more often rather than keeping them for 'best', and then the understairs cupboard since that's where the spares, candles and christmas stuff lives.LD 12.25 £1600.00/£0700.00 Fn £274.00 LTFn £525 LLTFn £300

Picture the scene, nice hot bath with my favourite Molton Brown bubble bath, candles lit, chill out music on, glass of Prosecco in my best glass with a couple of strawberries, take a sip of my drink, sink back into the bubbles, think this is bliss. Next thing I know the blooming glass slid off the side of the bath straight into the water. Thankfully I caught the glass but the Prosecco and strawberries ended up in the water. Blooming typical 😩 Could only happen to me 😂
