I am an absolute sucker for anything storage-related; I'm verging on OCD and having a place for everything is almost a religion. Smallest Martini is now almost 8 weeks old so I'm starting to get some time to myself - cue organising the house. It hasn't really been done since we moved in two years ago - mainly because it would appear that I'm always pregnant and thus too tired to lug heavy, bulky items around. But, no more! What joy.
A well-earned trip to Lakeland (am I the only one that could spend hours in this shop? I do worry about some of the products they sell in there - a stand for a stirring spoon, anyone? - but seriously, I could spend whole days just looking at all the different wares) was in order. I left with multiple vacuum pack bags and also these fantastic vacuum tote bags - which basically have vacuum bags in them but then shrink down into a tote bag that zips up and is stackable. It even has a clear panel so you can see what's inside. Lakeland, you are spoiling us...
I've used vacuum bags before, but they've never quite worked - maybe they were okay once or twice, but then they stop sealing properly. These bags, however, are guaranteed for five years - so even though they were a bit more expensive, I'm hopeful that they will last. If they don't, I'll be complaining.
