lots of stuff, but no oven cleaner.
i blame this excess of cleaning products on the amalgamation of two households last may, just before we got married. we did manage to sort and sell unwanted furniture, and clothes, though i still have boxes of books and ornaments in the garage. we have now eaten the duplicate food stocks (though for some reason we seemed to have had completely separate tastes in herbs and spices - lots of jars!!).
the mega amounts of washing powder/ conditioner and dishwasher tablets were due to 'deals' at matthew's work. though i did work out that we now have enough dishwasher tablets to last us almost a year - assuming a wash every other day and allowing for holidays...
i hasten to add that we do clean - it's just i prefer not to use too many chemicals. however i have now gone and bought some mega oven cleaner - now waiting to be re-motivated to use it!

otherwise have been feeling a bit weary today - probably because i didn't sleep too well last night.
