The baking tray is on the third shelf. That's your shelf, I've marked it with masking tape, and I need to know why there are now two of them.

Two trays because one's for the pizza stones and one's for actual food, obviously — the tape shelf is a system. And I'm sorry about the card, properly, no joke: that was me being late, not clever.

So here's the faster version: you wash, I stack, permanently — no rota, no discussion at 9pm. Halve your system and we might have floor space by Friday.
Algy designer
Fine — wash and stack are yours, but the trays stay doubled and I'll take the bins out every Tuesday, no reminding. Now sign it and I'll find us something for dinner that isn't toast.
