Any recommendations for a bag/store/holder thing to hold my essential kitchen bits and pieces. I don't want an integeral washing up bowl. Thanks for any help.
All my "crockery" cutlery tea coffee sugar cup-a-soups and a few other bits and bobs lives in my old Mothercare baby box. Which lives in the boot of the car over the summer months.

I have 2 x 48L Really Useful Boxes for my kitchen bits and pieces, including dry food: herbs and spices, starches such as rice, cous cous and pasta, and oils and sauces etc...

We have a blue barrel - the kind you would use to keep stuff dry in a canoe. That way it just gets lifted in and out of the car then we can use it for storing other things or filling it with water to keep bottles cold.
We use gator boxes for dry goods and crockery, pans and big utensils and recently bought a small halfords toolbox for cutlery and kitchen knives. It has a lift out tray which is perfect for cutlery and is tough enough not to be punctured by the sharpest cooks knives. It can be locked too which means I'm unlikely to find my 4yr old daughter playing with a razor sharp Global knife!
I have a large size clip & lock lunch box that was on offer last year in tesco. It houses all of my cutlery, metal tongues, scissors etc. I use a large dry sack to transport plates, bowls, cups etc.
I just have a box which keeps all the cutlery together for short breaks. For longer breaks I have a drawer set which houses all my kitchen equipment (and other bits and bobs).
I wouldn't recommend using a bag for cutlery, I had a canvas BBQ bag (really to keep BBQ tools in) and I was forever cutting myself on the knives I had in there.
I picked up a couple of ice cream boxes, with lids, for 50p each from a cafe in Wales. I keep all my cutlery and cooking utensils in one and use the other for bits and pieces like torches, food bags etc.
My wife bought a "Tidy" canvas effort from Dunelm Mill that has about 8 shelves about 6"square. It will hold shoes, KFS sets, brushes and other odds and sods. I don't know how much it cost, but it won't be a lot if OH's bought it, plus it does it's job and costs nowt to feed.

Llangollen? I got two of those, one has all my rock pegs, peg puller and small claw hammer in, the other has the dog food.
