Toy storage and a rather nice bargain if I do say so myself

[hunkermunker]

Why would I buy this...

..when I could buy this (which is actually £15 cheaper in-store)?

Did see a nice sleigh bed in Homebase today, ML. Wooden, lovely - can't recall noticing how much, but they were doing dining tables with six v nice chairs for about £150!

Am very taken with this toy storage device - especially since we saved £105 on the JL one!

If you order online from Homebase it gets delivered by Argos!?!

It's built and full of toys. I can see my living room again!

Marsy I am selling a sleigh bed.

Does it hold quite a lot hunker?

It's got all the bitty toys that take up loads of room and make piles of mess - you can't fit huge toys in it, but it's currently holding a big pile of soft toys, a pile of peek-a-blocks, all DS's wooden blocks (100 fill half of one of the containers), all his Little People figures and smaller vehicle-type things, his cars, and a big pile of miscellaneous rattles and other toys that just fall out of the toy cupboard and annoy me!

The cupboard can now be for bigger toys - and we have the Little People farm and his keyboard on top of this new unit. The only toy out on the living room floor now is his new ELC garage which he plays with too much to warrant putting away!

Lets hope they have some left in Croydon!

I rather selfishly made sure that I got one myself before posting about it on here, BH

So you should have done too

Good luck getting one - I'm really pleased with ours.

I am glad. You will need all the storage you get when the baby comes

thanks lockets

Too right, BH! Love storage though - just wish I didn't have so much to store...ah well, have taken about 10 big bags to the charity shop lately and so much recycling's gone out too - I'm appalled at how much crap we've accumulated!

lol you sound like me atm HM disgusted with ourselves about the amount of crap we have had kept.

What's even worse is that a lot of it moved house with us! I was 15 weeks pg with DS when we moved, into a house that needed three months' work doing to it - uninhabitable is a charitable way of describing it! So everything got bundled into bags and boxes and left - then DS was born and it all kind of hung around - only now am I ruthless enough to bin things!

I get the feeling that I will be still clearing out after we move too.

It's very therapeutic to have a good old clearout, isn't it? I feel all virtuous when I've done it!

my loft is completely empty now, the only things we kept were my xmas decs. and a few items, everything else went to the tip or chartity shops. My house is looking a bit empty now too.

Sounds brilliant! Our loft also empty because it's not boarded...am wary of boarding it in case I fill it full of crap!

Ours wasn't boarded, we just put bits of wood across and had everything on that bedroom cupboards are clear, boxes are being piled high and we have the garden to sort out.

i am going to get one of these today if possible.

The JL one is nicer, but not £100 nicer

This is a big hit with DS - he's had great fun discovering what's in the drawers. The peek-a-block one's his favourite atm He's been playing on the top of it too - it's just the right height for him.

Spooky, we were looking at these for book storage (byt have chosen a more open version from Argos)

Must be the post-Chrsitmas overload thing, combined another birthday due in january... we have a playroom, but it's not meant to be a warehouse!

have decided to create a 'quiet' book corner in there, with rugs etc. How long until it gets trashed?

I reckon a day.
