Day 18

Nothing like the threat of a Woolies home shop delivery to kick my butt into gear to clean out my pantry! Well actually that's the problem, I DON'T have a pantry! Crazy, especially as the kitchen was newly renovated when we bought the house and we didn't think to look as you just assume that a kitchen has a pantry right?! So we use 2 small, double doored cupboards with one and a half levels of usable space and the back of the second row and the top level I need to climb on unsteady stools to reach with the tips of my fingers.

It took almost 4 hours and 2 big green garbage bags but it's done, everything is clean, everything is in date. It's amazing what you find as well . . like do I really need over 20 sachets of dry yeast? Or more than will fit in a 2L container full of icing sugar? Oh and cordial, I don't even give the kids cordial but some how I have 2 and a half bottles of the stuff!

I'm pretty embarrassed about the first 'before' picture and I'm not a complete grot! In my defence this bench is hidden from all parts of the house other than actually in the kitchen so becomes some what of a dumping ground!
