Clearing out a drawer..

Apologies if you have read this drivel before but I found this curious list on my phone from December 2017!
I must have decided to tidy out one of 'those' drawers in the sideboard. We all have them. The shove it in and deal with it another time drawer.
This is what was in the drawer on this day. It's kinda like one of those time capsules!

Sanitary towel x 1 - unopened!
Compass x 1 - for finding your way
Envelopes x 77
Indian takeaway vouchers x 10
Sticky pad thing for car dashboard to put sat nav on x 1 - didn’t work but clearly not enough reason to throw it away.

Light bulbs - various types
Medical dressings ( unopened )leftover from kidney removal x7

The absolutely awful thing about finding this list is that Im one hundred percent positive that these items are STILL IN THERE plus a load more stuff rammed on top! That Maria Kondo woman would spontaneously combust if she saw it! 


Lots of love for now,

  2. LOL - I reckon most people who work in primary education are also hoarders. It seems to be a characteristic of the type. :-)
