Cable Organiser Box (Jan/08)

We have a charging area in our house where the chargers for our phones, camera, Gameboy and Bluetooth stuff live. It’s always a mess of cables and adaptors so I decided to tidy it up.

After:

1) I bought a box from B&Q that seemed the right size to fit a 6 socket power extension inside and felt quite sturdy.

The inside of the box can be as messy as you like:

    I am a fireman and I think your box is just a fire waiting to happen!

    Even if it looks tidy, the cables are still a mess.
