I lifted the sofa cushions and I found...

[Underconstruction]

1 soft toy giraffe, 1 child's drawing, 1 (very small plastic) bale of straw, 1 torch with its batteries amazingly still working, 1 hairclip, 1 string of beads, 1 jumping bean, 1 small elephant, 1 small Rabbit (as in Pooh Bear), 1 blue oil pastel, 1 pencil and 1 stained glass cat window hanging thing, naturally with its hanging string missing. The wrappers, mini M&Ms, string, dust and grit went up the vacuum cleaner. I would have vacuumed more, but our hoover has a delicate constitution. Thought I'd post it here as no-one's going to notice!

Slattern

clementine peel

snotty tissue

multiple crumbs of uncertain origin

scap of paper with meetings dates, times and venues scribbled on it

( " and a patridge in a pear tree")

I just put the cushion back down. It's all still there.

I rented a furnished house and found a wad of acsh stuffed inside the sofa, About £200 came in very handy when I was a student a long time ago...
My Ds age 4 sits in our cream leather arm chair and it is full of yogurt, crisps, crumbs etc. Hoover it out once a week but ie is never ending. Trying to get him to eat at the table, he eats his meals but not snacks
