Over The Fridge
We don’t actually have a Cupboard Over The Fridge, as we have a lovely pantry with the fridge-freezer, the washing machine (which continues to be a total joy) and the second freezer on one side, and food on the other side. However, we still have a fair bit of junk on top of the fridge:
(do click on the image for a larger version… )
Working clockwise from the bottom left:
1) Our smaller stock pan – used for making delicious stocks from chicken carcasses etc. Also used as a jam pan, or if I want to make large quantities of something.
2) Spare kitchen roll.
3) (The yellow thing hiding in the background) – more spare kitchen roll.
4) (little black thing) – pouches to cook baked beans in a toaster… – in fact they’re for me to use on holiday if I want to make gluten-free toast without risking contaminating it with crumbs from a toaster – I’ve not used it yet, but it sounds incredibly useful…
5) A stack of empty ice-cream/margarine tubs – great for using as sandwich boxes.
6) 3 green space ships… – no they’re Eco balls – I’d forgotten about those (whoops!)
7) Empty kilner jar with no rubber seal…
8) Old margarine tub containing ready-to-roll icing – needs binning
9) (on top of margarine tub) Plastic box containing words from a poetry kit (you know, those magnetic words you can stick on the fridge door to say something deep and profound… ) and the icing shoes from Adam’s Christening Cake.
10) (on top of that) Box of matches
11) (under that to the left) – tin of white chocolate maggots – sounds grim, but Adam loves them, and they were reduced to 20p after Christmas 
12) (in front of that) safety plug to stick in socket to stop little fingers poking where they shouldn’t.
13) Red plastic lid to put on cans of cat food.
14) A few stray poetry kit words.
I think that’s everything – there may be more stuff up there, but it’s not visible in the photo, so I don’t have to declare it – right?
Oh – and the hormones are getting worse – I’m doing this now because I’ve given up on church – felt much too woozy and peculiar 
Still, at least that means that I’m that much closer to the hormone tide turning…

Thanks for the link to that meme – the most useful I have seen in a long time! The top of my fridge used to be a chaos zone, but then i discovered the wonders of Flylady (www.flylady.net). But after a year of (relative) tidyness, things are going back to normal, so i might have to renew my Flylady subscription. Thanks for the reminder!Marie () (link) - 09 April '06 - 12:18
Can’t do this meme. My fridge is under the worksurface so there’s nothing on top of it!Have you ever done the Ecoball wash without doing the rinse cycle? I always intend to, but am never near the washing machine at the appropriate time to turn it off…

The white chocolate maggots: do they actually contain maggots?Ruth () - 10 April '06 - 19:21
I’d intended to have a look at the top of your fridge today to see whether anything had changed – but I forgot! I also forgot to ask for your spare CDs for my garden!!Thanks for a great day
Lots of love
