    Well for storing stuff I have glass jars, so the sugar and flour are in matching white, rice is an off white, coffee is dark brown and pasta is light brown.

    You know, I saw the bins in the Argos sale at Xmas too, and I thought 'I'm not spending £25 on a bin'....:rotfl: :cool:

    And you were right - you didn't... :eek:

    Snaggles- did you get to the bottom of what and how much childcare help you were going to get? There's currently a lot of mse members on the benefits board who are very knowledgeable about tax credits.

    I need a new bin too and want a particular size and all the ones I see are about £50. I keep putting it off but I know I'll succumb eventually.:D

    Thanks Sea - doing 5 hours tomorrow, 9.30am - 2.30pm, so not too bad really. It will be a couple of weeks before I start my 'proper' hours.

    *whispers* I have the breadbin...:o

    Nope I managed to kill my eternal beau toaster I also inherited from Grandma! I think my kettle is the beige attempt at eternal beau but not actual eternal beau :o :rotfl:

    *Note to self... add new kettle to my wish list*
