I was putting the decorations back in the attic.
Everything in the attic is in neat matching boxes that stack tidyly together. I like things in boxes.
After some spectacularly crappy parenting today (by me), my tidy attic with it's plastic boxes made me feel calm.
Tomorrow I will have to deal with more fallout from my crappy parenting so may have to just go and sit in the attic and be soothed.

My tidy Tupperware draw. I fully I tend to do a kitchen cupboard a day this week just so they all give me so much joy 😂

Our attic has cardboard Rhive boxes but not for the bodyboards, beach tent, sleeping bag. See what you mean though. On a more serious note, hope not too many plastic boxes as quite weighty

There's nothing more satisfying that finding a box for something be that a parcel, present or storage that is exactly the right size. 🥰

No, nothing to be concerned about. 😊It was reinforced when I was boarded out anyway so could hold a lot if we needed it to.

our washing machine went on the blink a

Our nearest laundrette has had a facelift. It looks nicer than my kitchen.
