The Trauma of Loving Lakeland

I love Lakeland.

However, sometimes I feel like Lakeland doesn't love me back.

All those smooth plastic and silicone products give me the same squicky feeling I get when looking at swimsuit models.

My cakes always leave bits behind in the tin and I have to use extra icing to hide the lumps in the top. My kitchen utensils are shoved in a mug with the handle broken off from the time I tried to shove too many things into the top rack of the dishwasher rather than do the washing up by hand. My tea towels don't match, I don't have a full set of matching 'company' dishes or cutlery, my pots and pans are scratched and dented from the aforementioned tendency to shove everything in the dishwasher and don't even get me started on the state of the pantry.

I feel like I'm a failure by Lakeland standards.

I have decided, therefore, to amend my heathen ways and shall henceforth live my life the Lakeland way. No drawer shall stay disheveled. No pan un-padded. My closets shall be clean and my garden groomed.

First things first - I need to make a list.

Lakeland don't seem to sell notepads.
