Drawer of Last Resort - What's in Yours?

I forgot the torch!

Thankyou everyone for your lists, they caused much laughter and shared with others. Did us all GOOD!!

Lexisgranny is it a fridge/freezer scraper? Its hard to tell how big it is from the picture.

After living somewhere for over 35 years we seem to have many of these drawers !

My DH has many odd things in his! Chocolate wrappers, random lids, paper clips and all manner of things !

Mine has “spare” things, like charging cables, old keys, hair clips and again all manner of random things !

Mine includes batteries, mini screwdrivers, sellotape, brown parcel tape, bin liners, cookie cutters, graters, cake decorations, including the ballet dancers that were used on daughters’ birthday cakes 40-50 years ago and odds and ends that are a mystery. Being a hoarder, I have a large bag of paper bags and an equally large bag of plastic bags. Best of all, there’s my chocolate stash! That’s just the one in the kitchen - there are others!

Can’t be bothered to get up and look but from memory:- Tweezers, small screw drivers, ball of string, set of alan keys, radiator key, plant labels, fuses, scissors, multi tool, odd pegs, birthday cake candles/holders, insulating tape, sticky dots, self adhesive hooks, plastic coated wire, odd knitting needles, garden snips etc.

Has anyone found my apple corer please?

Last seen disappearing over the hill and far away, alongside my watering can!

I think we all have a drawer like that!

Spare phone charger, computer mice, mousemat, USB cables, reading glasses, pens, rubbers, stapler. staples, 2 camera, camera batteries, memory cards, post it notes, nail files, paper clips, memory card readers, magnifying glass, scissors etc.

And thats just the one in my office!

It’s an ice scraper for the sides of the freezer

I wouldn’t know where to start. All sorts, inc. several of those ‘bits’ of things, when I haven’t a clue if they’ll eventually be needed for something, or if they can be chucked. There used to be sundry batteries chucked in but these are now in a tin labelled ‘Batteries’. Ditto several of those tiny screwdrivers you sometimes get in Christmas crackers. We do occasionally need those so I’m quite pleased with myself that they’re now in a labelled tin. Especially since I would never describe myself as a super-tidy, organised type. ?

Food banks take unopened make up and toiletries to give to those in most need/ going for interviews etc

I’ve never had the room to keep anything unused or unnecessary so I’m very organised and know where everything is. I have a stationery drawer, a batteries, candles and matches drawer, a basket for dog stuff and another for dusters etc. I’m tidy and methodical.
And even so I sometimes lose things!

superdrug have a collection point for new and used make up.
