Just being nosy really!

Ours currently has on it;
four books, a bobble hat, a pencil sharpener, pot of slime, tv buttons, 2 x drawings by DC, pair of scissors, Monopoly Deal game, claw hair grip, seam ripper, glass of Coke and a glass of water.

I was just sat thinking what a random assortment it was! I wondered if others were the same....
