Sorting out the spare room is not going well. Too much overwhelming mess. I think I might sort the preserving rings and lids, then call it a day for sorting. Then a drizzly dog walk, followed by lifting heavy things. At some point I need to work out what to have for dinner. Too many options. Maybe potato and chilli.
will you boil em, mash em, or stick em in a microwave?
Microwave the potato. Boil the chilli.
what will you mash?
No mashing. But I'll probably squish the potato a bit with a fork, does that count?
Yes

First pick out everything that you want to trash and then throw that shit out.
I did manage to toss out a few boxes, but most of the stuff I'll be keeping, it's just a mess. Mostly my preserving supplied, which have been shoved in lots of various spaces over time due to lack of space. I've finally organised space to consolidate everything, but until I have more sorted it's hard to tell where it is going to fit. Plus I've been shoving back empty jars and things all over the place because it's not sorted and making it worse. I did managee to sort enough that I'm not tripping over things in there anymore, so progress is being made.
