This teeny tiny jug helped me enormously in my Christmas readiness....
For a couple of weeks in the back of my mind, I knew I was going to need more fridge space for influx of food and drink. I tidied and shifted and swiped a cloth over shelves and tutted and muttered.
How will I fit a ham AND a lamb joint?
You'll not get beer in this fridge I declared and threatened....
UNTIL....
This teeny tiny jug of Southern Style Hot Sauce tipped over in the fridge...
and
oh how far it travelled.
A mere 60ml ?
Well that was it! We all pitched in and pulled the entire contents out, washed and sorted and do you know what? I started the festive season with enough room and some. Room for cheeses and drinks and leftovers. More than that though was the freedom from yet another stress at Christmas time. Lesson learned.
A proper job leads to greater satisfaction.
And you know what else?
There is nothing like family all pitching in together to make a big job smaller.
So very true. I have a good fridge cull every few weeks. We are never too old to learn lessons LOL
ReplyDeleteI love it Tanya,
ReplyDeleteHow true !!! tiny amounts of liquids can travel for miles,especially in fridges..
But at least your big cleanup saved the festive season fridge space(always at a premium at this time)
Hope 2019 is kind to you both,
Cheers

Great story and lesson!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to do a cleanup job every day over the holidays, it feels so good afterwards doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! It's an ill wind, as they say. I always think the universe is telling me something when accidents happen; a great reminder and lesson. :)
