How do you store all those electrical bits and pieces? It's a tangled mess...

We have a huge storage box full of chargers, computer leads, games consoles bit, batteries, basically anything electrical.

Also, a wicker box of frequently used chargers e.g. phone, laptop.

The big box is a massive mess - everything is entangled, unidentifiable, and VERY annoying! Takes 4 hours to find a battery (almost).

Any bright ideas? I'd love to get rid of the storage box, as it's not particularly nice to look at, or find things in.

A nice dull question for a chilly Monday morning Wink

I use something like this: box filled with empty loo rolls. Helps enormously if you also label the charger/loo roll.

That's a brilliant idea! Was really reluctant to spent more money on plastic storage.

Velcro cable ties are very handy as well to keep cables under control.

We have One of these Labellers which we use to label all the cables, chargers etc.
