I was going to start getting rid of things today. I started with the kitchen closet, emptied it, cleaned it, repacked it and throughout, decided that we pretty well need/use all of it. So my donation bag sits empty. Next stop, saucepans. I’ve been complaining for months that I have crappy saucepans and I’d kill for a set of copper pots and Le Creuset – so there I was on the floor with the entire contents spread out in front of me, and you know what? again, I can’t really do without any of them…. at least until we move. Right next door to the saucepan cupboard is the oven, and from this close, ‘what a mess!’. Time to clean the oven. I’ve been elbows deep in grease and muck but my oven is now shiny and clean. My donation bag however still sits empty….
