I've just sat down with a cuppa for a short break with you lot, and I wondered what you'd 'discover' when doing a kitchen spring clean.
We've had a water leak through our kitchen ceiling and need to replace part of it. This means a good clean first, fill the hole, seal the leak stains and repaint. Doesn't sound too bad when typed quickly, but we have wall cupboards above the work surface, leaving about 18 inches between the tops and the ceiling. This space has been used to store stuff I don't need to be able to reach easily.
However, I have just moved (and cleaned/washed up
)
1. A candy floss maker, not used since we moved in 7 years ago.
2. A pasta maker, used once for pumpkin ravioli but too much hassle to bother
again.
3. An ice cream maker, I didn't use it last year because no space to freeze the bowl
4. A mini donut machine, persuaded into buying this in a sale by Kissykit 3 years
ago, probably used about 3 times.
5. A beer bottle crimper, from when OH used to make his own, the barrel to make it
in was sold before we moved here. (price on it says £1.75, came with 40 tops)
6. My cake decorating equipment, used periodically for special occasion cakes.
7. Empty jam jars used by sons for painting water when modelling and a saucer
used as a paint palette.
8. 3 'pooh bear type' ceramic honey pots that came with indian ice cream in and I
just couldn't throw away.
9. A slow cooker given to me by my sister when she moved house, never used.
10. A sodastream, I used to use it for sparking water, but the cylinder ran out, and
I keep forgetting to get a new one.
I know I'm a horder and I should freecycle/sell some of the above (not no 6) but I always think I might want to use it/try it again.
