I care little for the divider as I currently have no kitchen but with you on Pete’s pink trousers. Surprised that went out before the watershed 😂😂😂

You care little for the divider … I am heartbroken! 💔 😉😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mr KK was veering wildly between sympathy for him and being excruciated! 😂

I have my Tupperware type stuff in two baskets one for smallish ones and one for the larger ones stored standing on their side with lids at one side, makes it much less stressful😂

Once you mentioned the trousers KK my brain was taken over by their pink glory. The raw sausage colour was particularly unfortunate.

My future kitchen will likely not have cupboards 😁

I threw away many plastic pots and just kept the useful ones - i.e. 3 sizes and can be stored one inside of each other plus one which has a particularly satisfying click lid - I like the sound and two tiny ones.  I have not missed the oddments but I do find the neat tidy columns of 3 very satisfying (do I need more of a life?)

Thanks for the tips, I think baskets are the way to go.  Will need to hunt for a couple.  I also spotted that the corner unit shelves could be lowered a bit which might make it easier to store stuff - not sure why I didn't spot that before.

Oh but it is inspiring @KajiKita! I have an entire picnic cupboard with exuberantly mismatched boxes and lids; it drives me berserk.  You'll feel sooo much better when done and will also be picnic-ready. Love Humdinger xx

I was once having a discussion with a bloke I’d worked with for 3 years and in conversation he thought I was a single parent as there was never any photos of DH on my FB - they where all of my DS and me away on holiday.  (My DH hated holidaying in England so DS and I went away every school to different bits of the UK) 

That’s quite a long time to not clock that you were married. I suspect that the colleague was somewhat oblivious too! 😉😂

After a lovely lie-in I got out in the sunshine in the garden for c. 90 minutes - weeded another strip of one veg bed and cut back an enormously long bramble that I nearly wrapped my ankles in yesterday when coming through a rarely used gate - it must have been 12 feet long! 😳
The greenhouse got a good watering - the lettuce and pale green kale are growing well 😊
The other good job done today was I got the last of the spring bulbs in the ground - spread between where the sun falls at this time of year (but obviously February / March time) under the contorted Hazel, a few in the front of the amalanchier and the last few under a piece of turf by the big pond next to the bench where I was sat this morning 😊

A beautiful foliage plant I treated the bathroom to after the refurb got a wipe down - it’s almost glowing now 😊

Cross stitching and watching ‘The Bureau of M@gical Things’ on flix of net this afternoon. All very, very civilised 😊❤️
