In the loft

[Daisy]

Ive been to Ikea this morning , just for napkins though

Hahaha, Oma. I hope you got your usual industrial quantity, just in case.

[Mimi]

We cleared the loft out a long time before we downsized thankfully so it was less junk to deal with.

In the loft I seem to remember , along with things like family photos and Christmas decorations we had......

One broken strip light.

One broken pushchair that we had when DD was a toddler, ( she was in her early 20's when we cleared out the loft )

A turn table that wouldn't turn

Empty cardboard boxes,,,, you know,, just in case ( Fire hazard , health and safety and all that )

Now we have no loft we still manage to hoard juke the only difference being its now rammed into cupboards

[Oma]

Hahaha, Oma. I hope you got your usual industrial quantity, just in case.

Yep Daisy got 6x100 and still had 200 in the cupboard so 800 will last us a while

[Nana]

Oma... do you know something we don't? Is there going to be a napkin shortage?😲 Oh nooooooo.

[Daisy]

Oma - you can't have too many napkins.

I suppose!

[Oma]

Nana B said if I don't have at least 600 I panic 😁
Truth is he hates Ikea and I have to drag him kicking and screaming so if I buy in bulk he hasn't got to go so often 😀😀

Why Ikea napkins Oma? Personally I use kitchen roll.

[Oma]

They good quality Plant and large , up till now have been a good price , although they have gone up they still cheaper than say Sainsbury's , only £2 for 100 so not bad

[Mimi]

Do I need to hang my head in shame, first of all are we talking about paper napkins ?

The only time I buy napkins is at Christmas time , I am with Plant in that I usually use a paper towel the rest of the year except for at the moment ..... and this is where I hang my head in shame..... I was sorting out the kitchen drawer and found several packs of unopened Christmas themed napkins so I am using them instead of kitchen roll

Mimi, Oma has a'thing' about paper napkins 😁

We have cloth ones we use if we have people round for a meal.
For every day and buffets we use kitchen roll, apart from over that festive season when I buy appropriate paper napkins.

[Plantaholic]

Festive season in your house Mimi, bit early. I have very nice damask napkins, they don't see the light of day these days. OH and I always had cloth napkins when he was alive and I have paper ones if anyone visiting has tea and cake. We know where to go if we run out.

[Oma]

We us them everyday , but I do recycle all that are not dripping in food, they go in my paper recycle
I have tried cloth ones , cant be bothered with the hassle of washing and ironing ,
I buy Kitchen roll too it gets used for everything , kids will say watch out mother has the kitchen roll out who's going to get wiped down next same with the anti back wipes hahaha

[Plantaholic]

We had better watch out in Birmingham if we see Oma with the wipes out.

Kitchen rolls are the bane of my life. OH always stores them on top of a very high cupboard which I can't reach. And today, after GD2 spilled her paint water all over the table I quickly used what was left on their kitchen roll - only to find that the new ones were on top of a very tall fridge freezer, totally out of reach without harness, lanyard, belay equipment and a course in advanced rock climbing!

[Gemini]

Daisy one of my pet hates is an OH who puts essential items where I can't reach them!!
