It's bin day, and I have successfully put out my bins, including clearing out some old things from the back of the food cupboard. I would like to have a word with whoever installed the "just in case" voice in my head. You know, the little voice that when you find the remainder of a packet of chia seeds with an expiry date of 2012 in the back of the cupboard whispers "you should keep that, just in case..."

If you had it in the last house, it does not need to move again (food stuffs)

Having been in this house for over 17 years now I would definitely have to agree.

I was kinda of suggesting the opposite. If you’ve moved multiply and kept a food stuff you really ain’t gonna eat it

The ‘just in case’ voice came as a factory setting with my brain, and applies to everything, not just food, unfortunately
