**** Drum Roll ***

I have just tidied/cleared the odds and sods kitchen drawer - you know the one, we all have one.

Christmas cake ornaments, long defunct timers, manuals for long-dead appliances, hastily printed recipes, those strange things that clip onto the stems of wine glasses so we can identify our own drink, bag clips,pickle forks (WTF!) the inevitable ball of string...and so much more...

If I were to be able to peer into yours, what would I find, what would amuse me ?

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

A leather brow band for an Arab pony we had on loan (30 years ago) - cannot bring myself to part with it …

Charging plugs for god knows what, a lot of odds and sods including new shoelaces, screwdrivers, screws (for what?), foreign coins etc. really need to have a clear out …

I have had to tidy all the new kitchen drawers but I have got a special one to shove everything that doesn’t go in the others. At the moment it isn’t amusing at all as I did a ‘why am I keeping this.’ throw out My tidiest drawer is the one with teatowels, dish cloths, microfibre cloths, kitchen towel because I have folded them KonMari.

And there in a wood a piggywig stood...

It's a deep drawer - a hamburger mould, icing set, paper doilies, a couple of pan scrubbers, some paper plates decorated with brussel sprout patterns, keys obviously, a Dunelm swatch of fabric for curtains that never got ordered, rubber gloves, two Chinagraph pencils (one black, one red), a refill cartridge for a Brita water filter that we no longer have, spare Tap Adapter, string of course but nothing equine.

Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

I’ve blitzed all the cupboards and drawers this week, so my kitchen drawer will sound quite boring. It now contains a cutlery tray, some scissors, a meat thermometer, some small LocknLock boxes containing screws, a can opener, a jar opener and that’s about it. Nothing as interesting as horsey gadgets or chocolate. 😕

But, I’ll have to empty it out again tomorrow (can’t be bothered to do it now) because I spilt soy sauce on the work surface earlier and, although I mopped it up immediately, every time I open that drawer now a strong waft of soy sauce is released so it must have trickled into the drawer. 🙄 I guess I’ll be washing all the cutlery and everything else later. I can’t wait. 😳

Not content with one drawer, I have a unit with 4 drawers . . . . .

Wooden lemon juicer, box of matches, icing pump & nozzles, plug fuses, whisk attachments, ball of string, old toothbrush, tea strainer, retractable tape measure, numerous screwdrivers, pair of large forks for lifting a roast chicken, ice cream scoops, shredding scissors, turkey baster, a whet stone for sharpening knives, a four prong thingy for baking potatoes, wooden kebab sticks, chicken secateurs, nut crackers, radiator key, Araldite glue, door & window keys.

I think declaring one drawer is enough lol!….. it’s fairly well organised in various size plastic food trays, and cut-down cat food boxes.
