I feel your pain, Joy, frustration and excitement of your beautiful new kitchen. I’ve been there, quite a few years ago now, but it’s seared in my mind.
Good luck Fiona, by the way you need less cups than you think. My rule is, only the small drawer full. Oh, and have a drawer for cups and another drinking glasses immediately beside the dishwasher. A large deep drawer immediately beside the stove/hob for bottles of things (oil, vinegar, fish sauce, soy sauce), then drawers on top on this for utensils you use all the time for cooking.
Those weights are gorgeous! I’m so glad you’ve kept them and they’ll be perfect for school.
Excited to see what your new kitchen’s going to be like.
I’d love a European-style drying rack/cupboard above the sink but it doesn’t work if the sink’s below a window.
I think those weights were from Lakeland originally. They are like talismans (talismen?) when I hold them.

Good advice, thank you!
Your husband’s Playmobil habit! There are worse vices :D
Reminds me that for years the biggest Lego Technic collector in our house was Ian!
I hung on to so many children’s toys ‘for the grandchildren’ and to be fair they are discovering them, but we definitely have too many.
Good luck with your declutter!
Playmobil, Lego, model aeroplanes, tanks, cars, military model figures, coins, stamps, art equipment, antiquities, Magic The Gathering cards...!
Thank you! A day of blitzing to go and then we are off to France!
I’m glad you kept the weights. Like little nuggets of memory.
Exactly! I'm glad too.
