We have a Welsh dresser that my wife in a moment of Instagram renovation pic induced madness decided to strip and paint a chalky blue colour.

It then became known as the Blue Unit and now is solely referred to as the Bluenit.

“Mum, have you seen my bus pass?”

BONUS

We call a Kentucky fried chicken bargain bucket the ‘Fuck-it Bucket’. Because it’s only something we buy at the end of a bad week when we really don’t want to cook and there’s no good alternative!
