While I was waiting for the kettle to boil this morning, I was overcome with the urge to clear out my kitchen drawers.  I can’t believe how much junk we had in there.  Firstly in the cutlery drawer I discovered we had 19 plastic medicine spoons, 5 stopper things you put in the top of a bottle of medicine when you’re using a syringe, 4 syringes to administer medicine to babies, lots of plastic weaning spoons that I haven’t used in well over a year, and 12 rolls of sandwich ties that come with plastic sandwich bags.  Why did I keep all these spoons and things in the first place?

In the other two drawers I found I still had a huge pile of bibs that I don’t use anymore, loads of teatowels (some I’ve never used), and loads of instruction manuals.  Out of these instructions I found some that we don’t even own the thing they’re for anymore, including our old washing machine and an old CD/radio player (also found the remote control for this).  I also found instructions for toys that are so easy to use you wonder why they provide instructions, so why did we keep them?

I also found various bolts and screws in plastic bags that are obviously spares for something, but I don’t know what.  I wonder if hubby knows?
