I need to stop shopping and start sorting.

There's always so much to buy setting up a new place though. I've got a stand to put my toaster oven/air fryer on, a bathroom cabinet so I've got somewhere to put the toilet paper, another storage rack for the laundry, a dustpan and brush (mine did not survive the move), new dog poo scoop (who really wants to move a used one?!) and a fence to go outside to create a pet barrier to where the side gate is (which has a gap Miss Meow might manage to squeeze under) and create a little yard for the bins.

Sorting plans for today are the bedroom/wardrobe, and a bit more in the kitchen. I made a good start on the pantry yesterday, got some preliminary sorting of the ensuite cabinet, and set up an area in the garage for putting shoes on/off and hanging outdoor coats etc. I've got a couple more floor mats to bring up to add to the area to minimise dust that gets tracked in and will see if I can find some carpet offcuts and things to cover a bit more - if I can get the area around the door to the house and the pathway across to the other external door covered it would be ideal.
