I have a little storage area out back which has suffered from my habit of "oooo that's on offer, I'd better buy some". I've totally lost track of what I have and how much. I have therefore decided. I shall take two boxes and put in one of each essential item and put on the top shelf. Only when I need to raid my boxes shall I buy more of what is in them.
I have one box of toiletries and cleaning things:
my shampoo, toothpaste, deo, face wash, floss
dc &DH as above plus razor blades, shaving foam and after shave.
toilet cleaner, washing up liquid, bathroom cleaner, sponge, brush
dishwasher tablets
toilet paper
one box of food
pasta, rice, tea, coffee, breakfast cereal for each of us, jam
Window cleaning stuff etc can wait the few days until I can get to the shop. What have I forgotten, or what would you put in your box? Something that if you have none left will cause immediate meltdown and complaints as if it's the beginning of the end of the world...
