    Wow, thank you all for being so helpful! And of course spending the time helping me with my confused mission. I appreciate it!!

    I love the stacker kit but think I am going to have to say up the old pennys for that. Thank you too for the photos of your system Moon Cottage. Perhaps it is time for me to clear at some cupboards and make some room.

    I love the idea of Caddys too mizgeorge and think that this might be the answer for the time being for me. I means that I can carry them around easily.

    Thank you for the Ikea link Bijou Dragon. I will definetly have a look at those, on my next visit to Ikea.

    Again, thank you all for your suggestions. I feel a bit clearer about what I want now.

    Best wishes

    I have all my loose rolly bits in plastic business card boxes. This is one site that has them on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100-BUSINESS-C...d=p3286.c0.m14

    They suit my needs can be laid out to suit the space you have for storage...are stable enough to stack - and at a push - you can seperate them and use top and bottom as seperate storage trays. This site doesn't seem to have other sizes - but you can get the same sort of boxes in all sorts of sizes up to A4 I think....but you'll have to go search for them yourself!! I must get back to my duties!!!

    It's a girl thing, isn't it. I just love storage and getting things sorted.

    Well how's this for sad. We've just had some cupboards built in our laundry, and I am so excited to have somewhere to put all my detergents, light bulbs etc. Oh, and I made sure that there would be room for some of my jewellery stuff.

    investigate your local diy store- storage for screws/ nails etc is great when you are starting out. cooksons have a few things too now.

    Hi

    I use 'the really useful box's' you can buy a box and then fill it with trays, the trays are seperated into compartments, so i have trays of findings, trays of beads etc and then the boxes all stack on top of each other you can buy them in argos and whsmiths, but my dream is one of those lovely stackers but oh they are soooo expensive.
