Clutter

Last minute day-off tomorrow. Decided at 4.30. Phoned the boss to check. He text back on the office phone, and his text message was read out by Stephen Hawking... "Please. Tell. Xander. It's. OK. For. Tomorrow."

I've got the gas man coming tomorrow to give the boiler its annual service. I thought I should clean behind the microwave before he moves it, and while I was at it, clean the rest of the kitchen. For some reason I started to clear our the clutter drawer [everyone has one], and found...

six place mats
four coasters
one box of bag ties
one torch with no batteries
two bottle openers [both freebies]
two gas lighters
brown shoe laces
one button [from who-knows-what]
two sachets of Heinz ketchup
one sachet of Burger King branded Heinz Ketchup [best before July 07]
one roll of masking tape
one recipe for Broth [from the packet of broth mix]
one recipe for Emma's Bolognese [scribbled on a yellow Post-It]
one bulb for the bedroom light
one packet of plasters
one stray plaster
one gas meter key
one screwdriver
two GU10 50W bulbs
one GU10 50W Tesco Value bulb
one AA battery [life unknown]
one pencil [blunt]

and, here's where the man-flu/hayfever survival kit starts...

half a packet of Halls Soothers [best before Jan 2011]
one full packet of vitimin C
one half-empty packet of vitimin C
two packets of Piriteze hayfever tablets [bogof at Tesco]
one unopened packet of Lemsip Max all-in-one capsules
two stray Lemsip Max all-in-one capsules
one packet of echinacea


Clear-out well overdue.

p.s. Blip number 700. Wowsers! :)
