I have a large ottoman in the spare room that I use to store my handbags.
Yesterday I decided to have a ruthless clear out of my wardrobes and the ottoman was part of the clear out.
So I'm sat on the floor going through each one thoroughly before deciding which ones to keep and which ones to get rid off.
I found all manner of random stuff including...
A half eaten sticky packet of fruit polos.
Several Half eaten packets of mint polos and chewing gum in each one.
A toy car ( no idea where it came from as I don't know any little boys!)
A babies dummy ( must be grandchild's, but has not used one for around 5 years! )
Train ticket dated 2011.
Two umbrellas.
A pair of glasses I thought were lost years ago.
Various lipsticks, not worn lipstick for years.
Hand cream.
Lip balm.
A chip?? ( ones that you eat )
Pens, lots of.
Lighters, lots of.
Cig packets containing a couple of cigs. Not smoked for years.
Various letters.
An unused, unwrapped condom??
A battery.
Random earring.
A wristwatch.
A bra??
A pair of socks.
Over £20 in loose change
A ten pound and a twenty pound note.
A fifty Euro note.
Over 40 Euro in cents.
Expired passport.
A shot glass.
A couple of cocktail brollies.
A couple of fancy cocktail straws.
A couple of full shot bottles.
Leaflets for various things.
A car key for a car that I haven't owned in years. ( I assume it's the spare key)
A couple of sea shells.
Tissues, some used, some still in packs.
Paracetamol and ibuprofen...lots of.
A screwdriver??
A small torch.
A rape alarm.
An old mobile phone.
So now I have decided to make an effort to do a weekly clear out of my handbag.
This will last around two weeks. 😅
