What's in your glove box?

Inspired by a soon to be deleted thread where a variety of odd items were found in a husbands glove compartment.

Not too odd considering I have a pair of scissors, a tea towel, half a dairy milk Oreo (will soon be snaffled), 2 tins of the pink Vaseline lip balm and a roll of white bin bags in mine. What's in yours?!

A micro fibre cloth and some rhubarb method.

In the arm rest - sunglasses, lip balm, CDs, mints, change, tissue, random detritus I should chuck.

I’m inspired to add a small notebook and a pen now.

Latex gloves (if there is a traffic accident/animal injured)

Oh my god. That's the most prepared thing I've ever heard.

In mine ... a full set of car fuses (I can be pretty prepared, too)

Full of crap.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 08/05/2019 06:51

Our glove box is strangely tiny for an otherwise big, 7 seater car! Think it just has the manual/insurance/recovery docs in, and the spanner thing to get the spare wheel off/on - spare wheel is underneath the bottom of the car!

Car manual, sunglasses, and a pound for supermarket trolleys.

Just my car documents and service book. But reading this I feel like I should have some sort of emergency kit?!

Car manuals/service books, a torch, spare batteries, dog water bowls and snack for the DC.

In the boot I have a proper emergency kit; my Dad was never militant about much but he was obsessed with being prepared for road-based emergencies and it's never left me.

In the back the DC have a container with novels, colouring books, lego, McDonalds tat and whatever else they've smuggled in.
