Reduce, ReUse, Recycle, Relax
The new shelves are up downstairs. Whoo hoo! It’s organization time in our household. I now have one shelving unit just for kitchen gadgets and surplus pantry items. We picked up the units up at IKEA, braving the Boxing Week shoppers and yes, there were a ton of them.
I was surprised that they have more than half of their cashiers with signs saying ‘no cash’, meaning just debit or credit card. That would be great, if you were a cashier—no counting pennies or balancing your cash counts.
I also took down the Christmas tree this afternoon. I hope that doesn’t seem too ‘grinch-ish’ and early. And I sold an old guitar online which was collecting dust. Not for a lot, but I really just wanted it gone. Ok, I’m also a horrible salesperson. Even Hubby disposed of a bunch of computer stuff that was lying around for years.
Lastly, I have two more plastic bins, for toys, to fill up. (The cut up water containers) However, we are getting stuck organizing the bigger toys, like ride on cars, huge blocks, and stuffed animals. I’m thinking the kids will need a new shelving unit of their own.
