Hello Phillipa hope you are well it's MISHAL. Hope Dov is reading this section. I also have a sore forehead,and if folks keep asking if they can put tomatoes out when they are an inch tall,have 2 leaves, because it's May (or the local blackbird told me it was OK,) I might have to bang some heads together!!! Of course you can't know everything,but doesn't anyone read the package!!
I am feeling particularly curmudgeonly (a.k.a. grumpy) this morning, particularly with male members of the family, decided to share my grump on here rather than 'nag' So, (sorry @punkdoc) a new piece of furniture was placed in the dining room yesterday and within an hour, became the latest, greatest 'dumping ground' thus far, a belt, a screwdriver, a packet of sweets a pile of coins and a car key. Up until yesterday this 'sideboard' didn't exist, how did it become so 'essential' within an hour. My other sideboard has already become home for cycling gloves, baseball cap and sunglasses, I thought that at least the new one could happily be just for sideboard related things.

Put a smallish box somewhere they don't know about, anything left where it shouldn't be, put in it and watch them panic when they can't find them.😀😉
Not a box. A bin bag with a large notice attached saying anything not put away in its proper place at the end of the day/week (you choose) goes in the bin!

I sympathize DD,when I met my old man,I would go to his house read the paper while he was cooking the meal or having a shower,then I would gold it and put bit on the sofa,he would rush over, and put it in the magazine rack all neat. Was s bit worried because of first husband (,far,far worse) I bought a trolley thingy on wheels for my big mixer,has drawers, sections,wire baskets, shelves with wicker baskets. Daily I remove keys, receipts,packs of tissues, glasses. I have now put a big pretty fruit bowl on the table for suchlike, does it work what do you think,! In our last house we had a hall and a key cupboard,we are open plan now. My ex husband everything on the floor in kids rooms, including home work and school clothes were thrown away in black sack ( but he was a psychopath)

Sounds like a proper home being lived in. Something to celebrate.
