Day 1 - The Kitchen

OK, Day one compleat and I feel so over whelmed.
I got it almost done.
I cleaned the benches, I declutered and declutered in the middle of washing and feeding the baby and watching last nights ep of Big Brother.

So my progress is as follows,
I DO NOT have much bench space, and the the space I did have was filled up with things that I now realise did NOT need to be there.

<<<<<<<<
Here is the Before and after of the Right side of my only bench space... I had toaster, and knifes etc. So much stuff that just didnt need to be there.
Now in the bottem pic is the after.. Toaster is now away, leaving knifes and compost bin.
All these years I had the toaster out... what was I thinking.
The easyYo yogurt maker wouldnt normaly be there, but hey, im making some strawberry yogurty goodness.
(and defrosting a chook for Tuesday nights dinner.)








Ok now to the other side...... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It was so cluttered with storage I thought when I moved in would fix the problem. Obviously not, and with the great idea from Katrina (the organised house wife) I done NEED anything on my benches..
chopping board kettle and baby food. And a container of freshly backed cheese and bacon muffins for Tuesdays morning tea!!
I also compleatly re-oranised the pantry, moved everything in to similar lots.
For example, sauces (tomato, mao, dressing, chocolate etc) then moved to pasta sauce and then meal sauces like chicken tonight. On another shelf, pastas, soups, etc Jams n spreasds, canned condements, fruits etc.
Its all still a big full clutter, but its oranised and there is not much u can do unless you have a rotary kind, which I dont.

The tupperware dry good cupboard looks like it came out of a tupperware cattaloge, gotta be happy with that.
and under the kitchen sink,

Not the best picture, but before and after.. Using cheapo baskets from Uncle bills, (1.70 cheeeeeeeap)
its so much tidyer. My aldi shopping bags al together, my toaster as u can see now has a place.

I cannot beleive I had so much room in here untill I cleaned it out.

I do need to tidy up the pots and pan cupboard and im soooo excited to, but its midnight and im stuffed.
I still have tomorrow..

which is..... main bedroom.
Ohhhhhh I can soooo do that!!!
