Sort your life out BBC1

[Ulysees]

New thread in case there isn't one?

I’d sort into same parts not colour, and get a workstation that you store the containers in or has drawers. Sort first and then decide storage when you know what you have.
keep instructions in a folder or box but easy to find the one you want. I’d label each container with type of part. Bitty small things use a biscuit/sweet box inner.
That way easy to use and tidy up imo.

Thanks for the tips. We do have 2 crates of instructions too. There is simply too much for a desk or workstation to cope with though. I don't think the picture really reflects just how much there is in reality.

However the rest of the clear out continues... Ex h came and collected a couple of his boxes and I've done another tip run with broken things and had a wee manny round to put up blinds and other stuff I'd had stored for later, I've also changed some of the light fittings.

It's definitely got breathing room and jobs are so much quicker when things have a place to go.

I agree with this. I live in a small terrace and really struggle with lack of storage. I don’t have a huge amount of stuff but it’s all those things like suitcases, Christmas decoration, etc that we all have that are a pain to store.
