We have a tiny kitchen and Billie doesn’t even use the stuff that’s already cluttering our counters
My girlfriend of six years, Billie, is really into cooking and can’t stop buying appliances. We have a tiny kitchen which is full to the rafters of things she no longer uses.
Billie gets these cooking obsessions and suddenly we have to buy something new to satisfy them. We currently have a pizza oven, ice-cream maker, blender and breadmaker, all sitting unused, as well as a coffee machine, microwave and all the usual appliances. Which means we have zero counter space, so I’ve put my foot down. She is the main cook, but I also enjoy it – I bake and love making dinner. I just don’t want our kitchen crammed full of clutter any more.
