    Oh just how do you chose which ones to get rid of! I have a window seat with lift up lids, for storage in my kitchen and I have loads of stuff in there and sometimes I go in to clear things out and I can always find a reason not to! you know, I might need that:rolleyes: in 20 years time, so had better keep it. :o Good luck vivw

    You have expressed my thoughts exactly.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Am being very good. Have decided to get rid of the small white dishes and the small glass bowls. And I think I'll put my salad set - beech large bowl and 4 small bowls on freecycle.........I can always start collecting again when my kitchen's finished!

    I've decided to keep the darker wooden bowls and get rid of the beech ones but so far no one has asked for them, so I may be keeping them after all

    well the ones in the bottom picture i would def keep.
    those large glass bowls that are kind of rippled - i like those so would keep those too.

    the large rectangular ones are too big for my use so i would get rid of those, but that depends on how many you generally cook for lol.

    That is only part of the contents of one cupboard. All the cream bowls I decided to keep but was unsure about the rest

    Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200210703516 The seller say's it's an antique but I'm sure by definition an antique has to be over 80 years old and the cupboard definitely isn't!

    You could be right, although I thought that antique was over 100 years and vintage was over 25 (the last one may just be cars!)

    A bit OT i know but where do you get the templates for your blogs? The blogger one's that I can see are a bit naff. Do you edit your own HTML?
