THE SLING IT INTO THE UNDER THE STAIRS CUPBOARD AND SHUT THE DOOR QUICK THREAD.

pansyface

A thread for things that don’t fit anywhere else.  Like this extension to my thread of last winter talking about winter traditions in your area.

I got an email yesterday announcing that there is to be an online Christmas carol workshop in a couple of weeks’ time, which itself replaces one part of the Whitby folk festival, which isn’t happening anyway. 🙄

So if anyone would like to listen to seven of Sheffield and North Derbyshire’s traditional carols, and learn the four parts of the tunes (as opposed to just muddling along and singing the bits that fall within your vocal range) they can sign up for a seat at the Zoom table.

Here is the email. The £2 is only if you want the music scores sent to you. Sitting in on it is free.

What a lovely title for a thread.
I use the chat threads for most things, but they have so many pages that if anyone supplies information like you have it gets overtaken and lost.

We don't have a cupboard under our stairs!  What to do?

You don’t have a cupboard under the stairs!!!!!!!

Where do all the odd shaped bits of metal that must belong to something get put? The vacuum cleaner attachments for objects that only exist in Homes and Gardens? The shoes that you really must get resoled but you keep forgetting to take them to the cobbler because they are buried under all the old cat toys that are no longer played with?

The under the stairs cupboard is the most important room in this house.😁

It's just a hole @pansyface and not very tall cos our stairs do U turn.   Just tall enough to get in one of those shoe cupboards for OH's shoes and there's a curtain pole suspended under one of the stairs where he hangs his golf jackets and waterproofs.  There is a head-banging low door out to the terrace on the back wall.

No cupboard under the stairs here either - it's the Pantry floor or the cellar for us

I don't have one either, I have one of those horrible 1970's open wooden stairs.. and the cellar hatch is there to

pansyface

The pantry floor is occupied by carrots and potstoes that are sprouting and making for the door and the cellar is full of ancient bits of stuff that we can’t fix ourselves but hope that one day someone who can will roll up at our door and ask if we have anything that needs fixing. 😑

You can send "The Fixer" down here when you've finished with him/her

No stairs here but have a room off the laundry (an add-on) for coats, boots, cleaning stuff, sprouting potatoes and a swinging 5kg net of garlic to bang your shoulder on.  Handy tools and an old dressing table full of photos in shoe boxes etc. Shelves with preserves, pasta, tins and packets etc.  (that you forget you have and buy more at the supermarket coz it's on spesh!  Probably 3/4 square metres in total.  Oh yes, and it has the back door to the washing line.  Ah yes, and mice like it.

Cupboard under the stairs is neat enough for me. We have an outside toilet which serves the chuck and forget purpose. You have to be awful quick with the door.
