I won't tell you how long it was before I had cleaned it out before that. It took me absolutely days to go through everything. Now I try not to buy as much of the items that go off fairly quickly although I did have to throw out some flour. I have lots of Moccona jars which are coming in handy too. That way I can see if there is any wildlife moving around behind the glass. :-)Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-23946405566757143712015-01-19T11:21:32.944+10:002015-01-19T11:21:32.944+10:00Mmmmmm!

The rest is suburbia. Its rare to see a tree thats not a shrub. No one is planting them, i guess they take up too much room on small blocks. The only goods things about Eastern Melbourne is the trees and hills but its too expensive to build over there. Oh well, i go for drives to look at trees. How funny is that. Today its off to the surf (about 40 minutes away) as im in the bay which doesnt quite have the same affect. I love looking at the sea.

Most of the dollar stores seem to stock the same products at the same time...at least here in Queensland it seems to be that way. Hopefully they will come back in and I want to buy another couple.

Yours already looks tidy Nanna Chel lol. <br /><br />The weather has been cooler down this way which is a bit of relief as we had horrible humidity for quite a few days. We did get a soaking rain, but it didn't take long to dry up.

Good luck on the pantry challenge - I don't have a pantry so thought I would do a couple of cupboards, they need it. Stay cool!

Just do your pantry shelf by shelf. I still have two to do but it is 33C here today and muggy as well so it is not pantry cleaning weather.
