An empty fish bowl, case of cigars, chipped mug full of coppers and a big jug crammed with big utensils like spatulas. Is there a prize for the best one?

3 tiny compost bins
5 noughts and crosses sheep, board and others lost YEARS ago, quite like them though.
A rats skull, and unknown much larger skull and the kitchen roll.

Oh God, wish I hadn't clicked on this. Just been and looked and I have:

various bits of the blind fitting that've fallen off;
remote control for the ceiling fan (no batteries);
a stanley knife blade (that'll have to go);
a spray of Raid.

My interior design skills need refreshing.
