Now I think I have finally finished off my Christmas shopping, I can start planning nice things for me. Back to tesco online to get more tins of spuds in case the early months of the year make me unwilling to go out in the ice even if my snow spikes for my foot wear hold out.

Got to plan this shopping load out nicely.

Somthing like this should do it, but I'm going to optimise my design around perfect cuts from 8x4 sheets which I can get perfectly cut at B&Q. So it's just like a flat back kit.

That is really neat. It even allows for simple rotation. A lot easier than my old pantry.

That's brilliant I too wish for that, auto rotation too, I hate the way we have to fart about at the moment :lol:

It is good, very good. Very good. But it ain't holdin' as many tins per square foot as shelving (conventional?).however, if it suits you-fair play.

Have just finished helping butcher a wether ( castrated male sheep). Amazing amount of meat from it, freezer pretty full now. My husband likes the "old fashioned mutton" from a sheep better than lamb, so he's happy as well. Bought a load of cocktail sausages, sausage rolls and choc eclairs(lovely), fron tesco, bogof £1 a pack, so 50p a pack, in the freezer bit. Started xmas shopping with preps in mind, a lot of torches , candles and knives this year so my family are being prepared wether they like it or not, bought my brother a new log axe and a kindling axe, still working on ideas.

Once I've got it finished I'll do a tread on how easy they are to put together.

Allotment and home veg patch both now fully hand dug, heritage seeds in the store shed, and next years seed potatoes ordered all I have to do with the ground is to get some manure on it hopefully before Christmas. SooBee, I think the racking looks great hope it works out well for you

Steveo82 is doing the tin rack. I'm just admiring it Arnieh. It looks rather like a glorified version of the little rack I keep my OXO cubes in and it works that way to. I wouldn't be without my OXO rack.

Don't you find they go soft if the room is a bit steamy in one of those? I keep mine in a tuppaware box, and have you noticed a change to chicken oxo, I'd like to see the OXo woman crumbling these new buggers they're like cast iron ;)
