Spring cleaning.

Well, it has to be done sometime, doesn't it...
I did a bit of a clearout of the kitchen this week. Sorting through the cupboards and the like. All very fun :) Had a couple of surprises. There were, as expected, a couple of things that went out of date in the last few months. The disturbing thing was that there were also some things that went out of date some time before... The oldest thing I found was best before March 2006. Ooops. That's obviously even worse given that we actually moved house in 2008, so we managed to pack things that were already two years out of date, then put them in our cupboards for another two years. Grimbo Jimbo.
In fact, thinking about it, it's stuff that went out of date before Joshua was born! Ew, yuck!

A couple of funny comments from the boy recently:
As I was scraping his unfinished ('I don't want any more') Coco Pops into the food waste, he said, "Hey, what are you doing to my poor coco pops?".
Prayer tonight involved thanking Jesus that Joshua could open the freezer...
I've managed to teach him to say, 'cashback'. (I also seem, unadvertantly, to have taught him to say 'silly muppet' ... oops)

And in other news, one of Joshua's friends has shown him how to open the stairgate on his bedroom door. Cheers mate. I'm going to have to work out some sort of revenge.
