[Twiglett]

my cupboard under the stairs, which is being built as I type shall have

a shoe drawer .. for chucking shoes
drawers for videos, dvds and board games
shelves - not decided what for but probably more jigsaws and games
a big cupboard for hoover and airing thing and ironing board stuff

AND .. somewhere to store my table leaves

I am so excited

Does it have a knitting area, Twigg?

Actually Twigglletters, you must have a giant staircase to get that lot under it

HUGE

well its the west wing you know

sounds like a great idea but if we did it we'd have nowhere to keep the wine...

not a problem .. wine rack in the kitchen .. .. and with my friends' appetites who has enough for overspill?

a wine cooler is going in my new kitchen

ooo .. are you getting a new kitchen? .. I didn't realise

ony 8 more weeks to go Twiggerrs

you had better take up knitting or something

You'll never use the wine cooler

waht makes you say that Paula?

we're thinking of something like this

I bought one and its not good for champagne and hwite wine to be chilled for long periods of time, so it only has about 2 bottles in it at any given time. The only exception is when we are entertaining, which granted is often, it wasn't worth what we paid for it.Maybe you entertain more.

'snice .. could be a little bit wine barish perchance? .. oh and will you have that much wine in the house

I find it difficult to keep 10 bottles on the go at a time .. and as we stock up in france we go from a few dozen to 0

it's only 36 bottles Twig. ( current rack holds 32 bottles - only 14 in it a the mo though)

How long have they been there?

about a couple of weeks I think - we have bought since Xmas

ahem I think cootchie means something quite rude in US .. be verrry careful

brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "just chuck it in the cootchie and shut the door b4fore anything falls out" though

I was talking to an estate agent when selling our house and he told me about an elderly lady client who, when talking about her understairs cupboard, said "Let me show you my glory hole..." Bless.

LOL Soupy - my mum uses that expression in all innocence too

can relate to your excitment twiglett. had new kitchen / dining room this summer..... when it was all done bought lovely huge antique cupboard with loads of shelves / drawers etc to put in dining room..... call me sad but it has been truly life enhancing.... all that crap that used to hang about the kitchen banished (me? sad? whatdyamean?)
