Sugar lasts for ever.
Spices, not so much.

Spices and I no longer agree... sugar is a different matter altogether. I was careful to put only jars and bottles in the bottom cupboard as there had been mice therein, So there will be nothing nasty... ;)The wall cupboard is tiny and has already been sorted. And nothing nasty.. quite the opposite..

Bottom end of the rental market, and some dangerous dives and bad landlords. Last place was a fire trap.

I was not as old of course 15 years ago! lol...Settled now as with the council,

Jesus moving 9 times in 15 years is something else Grace. I thought I had it bad when I moved 4 times in 3 years due to the rental crisis. So glad I have my own place now and those days are over but my god was it stressful, I never felt like I could make any place a home. Theres nothing worse that having no security of where you might be in a few months time, it effects every other part of your life and your mental health.

I must win this with my plastic bottle of of Mazola 100% pure sunflower oil, best before JAN 1989. I cook sausages for the dogs with it.
My sister criticised me for using cooking oil. It gives you cancer.
I took great pleasure in telling her the next time I saw here that the oil was 30 years old and I have survived.

Thanks. I still find myself wondering where I am when I wake up and what is outside the house! It is so unsettling .

And I am still addicted to daft.ie!

Oh and that was after the Big Move from the UK! Actually it was eleven places in under 17 years counting that.

I have a certain stability with my cats around me etc and am self sufficient. I can make anywhere a home quickly. Gather around me what matters . I was 4 years at the last but one then the landlord hit a financial glitch and needed to sell up. That was a hard one. I knew his family well etc and was settled there. Loved and miss Killarney .But always wanted back to Mayo

I am safe here and glad you are too.

And at least the cupboards are fairly sorted! Rolling stones gather no ancient food!
Few folk realise the real effect of the rental crisis.

You have inspired me! Top cupboards cleared and my rewards was finding 2 packets of the instant noodles I cannot get out here!

And... the motivation has spread to the fridge...Please let no one call today as everything is out in the place!
