I've cleared out a cupboard and found a Tupperware with this in.
We've only been in this house 2.5years so it's not long ago that I thought this was worth keeping in a very nice lunchbox.

Neither me or my husband have the faintest idea what it can be

Domething left over from ikea furniture?

Something from a pushchair?

Penguin34 · 11/02/2019 21:05

Defo not from a pushchair, my little one is only a few months

It looks a bit like some of the bits off my cot?

The bits from a washing machine / tumble drier ?

CatsForLife · 11/02/2019 21:09

Looks similar to the parts you get for a plastic playhouse, or one of those outdoor bike storage/small shed things.

picklemepopcorn · 11/02/2019 21:09

Metal or plastic? Could it be cot/bed parts? We have bags of pieces like that sellotaped to various dismantled bit of furniture.

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/02/2019 21:09

DH reckons it's plastic Meccano.

picklemepopcorn · 11/02/2019 21:10

Actually, a child's toy! Nesting alun keys, and matching bolts.

Penguin34 · 11/02/2019 21:11

It's all plastic
Can't be anything baby/child related because I've only just had my first

Bits from Washing Machine to stop drum rattling around when in transit.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 11/02/2019 21:12

Bin it. You'll 100% know what it is when you've not got it and desperately need it.

alldayeveryday86 · 11/02/2019 21:14

Looks like the bits to secure the drum in the washing machine when you transport it

UterusUterusGhali · 11/02/2019 21:14

Yeah washing machine stuff. Chuck it. (Or put it in the shed first for a few years in case it's important.)

The base of a Christmas tree?

Don't bin it! You might need it one day! 😬

llangennith · 11/02/2019 21:19

Bits from a toy toolbox.

JassyRadlett · 11/02/2019 21:21

Agree it’s from the washing machine - what model do you have?

RomanyQueen1 · 11/02/2019 21:25

looks like bits off a cot. Dunno why they'd be black though.

BeesandGees · 11/02/2019 21:50

Have you got any of that woven look garden furniture - kinda plastic. That looks very like the fixings for putting the seats together - there are always too many.

AriadnePersephoneCloud · 11/02/2019 21:53

Another vote for plastic garden furniture. Exactly the same as my plastic (rattan look) set.

AstralTraveller · 11/02/2019 21:56

Washing machine transporting kit to secure the concrete block attached to the drum.

Jaspermcsween · 11/02/2019 21:57

It's leg levellers for kitchen units

tictoc76 · 11/02/2019 21:59

It’s fixing for rattan furniture
