  • I thought I would stash them in my car, or ask the board to let me return them early.
  • Lots of drawers decluttered. We are carbooting tomorrow.

    Someone tell me why there was spaghetti and onion skin in the cutlery drawer.

    Oooh - hope you have good weather for the carboot! :)

    Cutlery drawers seem to attract weird bits of foodstuffs (well, mine does :D)
