I've just replied to a thread of where something could be. I called the drawer that I think most of us has (in the kitchen ) the drawer of doom.
If you have one , what's in it ?
Mine is :
Harvested seeds from flowers in the garden ( in envelopes ) a few years old !
Ball of string - just in case.
A few almost used up reels of sellotape.
Keys to God knows what.
Iron on hemming tape.
An egg shaped thing you drop in water with an egg to tell you when soft, medium or hard boiled. ( Unused)
A collapsible takeaway coffee cup ( Unused)
Ice cube freezer bags.
Cat medication .
Pens
Batteries

I don’t have one. Not smug, just that we downsized recently and didn’t keep any crap because we have nowhere to put it. I confidentially predict the crap will re-accumulate soon though!

Far too much to list!! But for starters - batteries, fuses, rubber bands, sticky tape, a radiator key, a pack of random medication for the dog which I didn't give him, paracetamol, lots of packets of extra strong mints (long story!) and random keys which don't lock or unlock anything in our home.

We call it the messy drawer. Sellotape, twine, biros, markers, skewers, elastic bands etc. I find I use it all the time. We also have a homeless bowl, I'm sick of putting away other people's things so anything left on the table or counter goes in. It includes paper clips, screws, erasers, a sea shell, bobbles, golf tees etc

Tape measure, bottle opener, pond liner fixing tape, car touch up paint, gorilla glue, plus just about everything listed above

Oh god. I might just do a picture. It’s easier.
