Do you have . . . . In your house ? Part two .

[ScottBakula]

Following on from the last thread but I have put this in chat to make it a bit easier to find .

A fake coal fireplace?

I have a cat that I certainly wasn't planning on getting but my friends little girl turned out to be allergic to cats. So I ended up with him.

I love the little thug now tho.

opps edited because I forgot my thing .

Home made wine that your not sure how strong it is ?

No - a cat adopted US!
A drawer full of different sized paper carrier bags?

@HelloDaisy are you for hire! how about a free trip to the US to do a clear out at my house.? We must have over 1000 books😫
Yes, I do have a drawer full of different sized paper carrier bags...plastic bags are illegal in my city!

Do you have a collection of Reader's Digest going back to '14?

No. Once I've read my RD, I pass it on to my sister who then recycles it.

A jar of honey that's started to crystallise?

Not a jar but a squeezy bottle so I'll need to warm it up to get any of it out again.

An oversized bean bag?

No-but I NEARLY acquired one recently! A friend was/is giving it away. I declined in that I couldn't fit the bliddy thing in my car, and It's black and my house is all creams and pinks and fawns so I couldn't figure out where it could go plus It's huge and I live in a small, old village sort of house-it just wouldn't 'go'. I still want it though I'm not sure what on earth for

Medicine that you didn't take and now have no idea what it was/is for

I had a bean bag when I was about 10/12 even then I found them hard to get up from . I'd be like a tortoise on its back now .

Sort of I have some antibiotics that are probably out of date by now ( I finished one course but got another prescribed as I was working away , and on a nightshift so getting more would of been hard )

Aftershave / perfume that you know you are unlikely to use?

Yes a few different ones, I should throw them out really.

Suitcases that are either too small or too big for a week trip.

Nope. I don't even know that I own a suitcase. I have large holdalls for weekend breaks but I never go abroad ever so no need boring

Plants that you've forgotten to water.

Yes, but they’re still alive!
Novelty toilet rolls, given as gifts, and somehow you can’t bring yourself to use them?

No novelty loo rolls ,

A tube of open pringles that you are trying to avoid eating.

Yes! I have been to B&Q today and made a bit of a killing on outdoor summer end of line plants, got some lavender for my kitchen windowsill and watered the plants there. What green fingers I have! Until… I went into my bathroom to rehang the shower curtain after washing it and realised my poor little neglected succulent. I cannot remember the last time I watered it although I see it every day because it’s in a cute ceramic dinosaur pot! Poor thing… I will do it now!

A massive pile of unread books on their bedside table - like 12?

A box of cables/chargers/all sorts of nonsense tangled up that you no longer know what half of them are for?!

Yes - autobiographies, at least 12 from Christmas and birthdays.
Yes -Three shoeboxes full, and none are labelled!

Glad I’m not alone! 🤭

You can add me to that tonne of books but mine have been stuffed 'in' the bedside table drawers so I dont have to remember that they are waiting.

And yes to a bunch of unlabeled boxes of chargers, cables, etc. Alas, I have to keep them all because I know if I throw any away, DH will surely need them next week.

Do you have any used wax candlesticks🕯🕯🕯 that you are saving in case the light go out?

Yes. I have numerous candles partly burned just in case of a power cut.

Rubber/ silicone oven gloves

Yes to both

Numerous, golf, standard and fold up umbrellas

Yes to the umberellas!

An old food hamper in the hallway with various random crap inside.

No.

Cards for all eventualities.

Yes, if I see any suitable cards when out,I buy them
Out of date spices you’ve accumulated because you were going to try that recipe, but never did?

Recently chucked out of date spices.

Fire extinguisher?

Yes, i do have a fire extinguisher. I also bought one of those fire suppression blankets from an infomercial.. you're supposed to throw it over a stove fire....hope i can find it stuffed in a drawer somewhere just in case.

A window air conditioner unit? Thank goodness I do because it is 93 ° in the other parts of my house

@ScottBakula what on earth has happened to that box of cool you so kindly offered to post to me?❄️ It must have turned hot by now!🏜

No.
I have seen those infomercials. I set fire to some bread I was toasting. I put a damp tea towel over it.

A Chinese or Persian rug?
