Only one drawer - shelf underneath crammed with books and magazines and currently all the Christmas cards that fell on my head when I opened the door to the cupboard standing next to it! In the drawer : Pens, notebook, graph paper, pad of A4 lined, letters, diary, calendar, hair clip, cotton buds, odd bits found when hoovering - coins, paper clips etc., buttons that I ought to have sewn on instead of chucking them in there, reels of cotton (? I have a sewing tin!) pins, table mat (!) On top: Lamp, walkman, tapes for walkman, inhalers, watch, CD/Tape player - ring from cocoa (forgot the table mat!), flat dish I made for GCE 'O' level (how sad's that? - I've still got it lol!) I think I ought to have a sort out too! My husband's drawer ? - don't think he would like me to say! Magsxx

I remember being stunned into silence - doesn't happen often, lol - when I and another woman were invited to a drink with a male colleague, who neither of us knew very well,visiting us in head office. He bought a round and as we sat down said to me "Helen, when you get out of the bath, which part of your body do you dry first?" nell bedside table has lamp, radio/alarm, pen pot, post-it notes, current book and tissues. Drawers in table contain top drawer - receipts, chocs for children's stockings - ssshh! refills for fountain pen middle drawer - knickers bottom drawer - socks

Bank statements! lol My top drawer is full of music for me to listen to and the bottom drawer is full of junk that I'm not sure what to do with! All the stuff I use regularly is on the top. Perhaps a good clear out is needed! lol Jeanette x
