    I’ve had several bread bins in my life. All of them rehomed to CS’s as I just can’t seem to get the hang of them … 🤷‍♀️😂 Totally relate to going shopping to experience air-con … 😉

    Yaay for Tuesday 😊

    Phew - glad it isn't just me.  Either my family eat all the bread or no bread and it goes mouldy.  Now I put it straight in the freezer and we get them out when we need them slice by slice.  No waste.  IKEA though is a nightmare for trying to come out with what is just on the list!
    I also went shopping, but took out DD as she was driving everyone nuts and DH had to do an hour of work.  I managed to buy nothing at all (*cough* ok, I bought a bag of doughnuts for everyone), but DD spent her ill gotten gains on some tat.

    This is exactly what we do. We have a bread drawer in the freezer for Mr KK’s 50/50 very commercial sliced bread, my artisan, wholemeal sourdough, spare naans, garlic bread sections and frozen left over pizza dough balls. 😊

    No.  In my opinion they are homes to mouldy crumbs & cause way more cleaning than they are worth.  I have a marble "plate" & a mesh cage type thing
