“THE” kitchen drawer

Most of those photos are far too tidy to be considered junk drawers, as they’re known in this house! For a start, you’ve been able to open them. It’s not a junk drawer unless opening it involves contortions with your hand to move whatever is blocking it and much bad language. 😂

The drawer of delights!

Suitable drawer.

I no longer have a suitable draw as they’re all too deep so my bits and bobs get chucked in a redundant wooden fruit bowl which sits on a shelf in the broom cupboard.

Not quite sure why I need the three pairs of 3D specs that are in mine, in addition to the pens, pencils string etc that are, of course, absolutely essential and will be useful......

My kitchen drawer

Pipe cleaners (why?)
Washing machine transport bolts
Assorted cutlery and kitchen gadgets that I'll probably never use
2 child's paintbrushes
A few things that I can't actually identify

I am almost proud to say that I only have 1 drawer in the whole of my kitchen, so of course, it just houses our cutlery. Yes, 1 drawer!

This is mine full of things I might just need - one day!

I have a plastic cutlery tray in my ‘messy’ drawer, which keeps things separate and reasonably tidy.

In no particular order…

Metal tape measures (2)
Batteries.
Calculator.
Scissors.
Tweezers.
Ruler.
Little glass jar with window keys and radiator key.
Small torch.
Penknife.
Small screwdrivers.
Free car fresheners from car wash place.

Mine s not even a full size drawer so have to be selective, even so its packed, kitchen equipment books/guarantees, matches, glue pencils, pens, notelets, rubber bands/bag ties, freezer labels, two metal tape measures, his & hers (why?), can't remember what else but know there is more.

Found mine

Just glad the kitchen sink won't fit in!!

Mine is a disgrace. Needs tidying......

You’re not alone Maizie

Mine is huge and bottomless (a good 12 or more inches deep) Whatever goes into it doesn't see the light of day again for years because they are mostly redundant items no-one else could possibly want, that I don't need, but I can't bring myself to give or throw away ..

I cleaned mine out a few weeks ago. Among the contents were:

safety pins
universal sink plug
fuse wire
spare plugs
spare fuses
comb
mapping pins and drawing pins
paper clips
elastoplasts
elastic bands
rawlplugs
two way adapters
continental adapters

I have another drawer full of screwdrivers and similar tools yet to be investigated.

I don’t have one in the kitchen but am ashamed to say I have three in the dining room!!

Mr i had what he called ‘the dribble draw’. I feel a bit guilty to confess -it is no more

Here's mine.

I have a “ drawer “ in most rooms not just the kitchen! 😩

I have more than one of those. 😊

You put me to shame at least yours looks tidy mine is a fight to go into so I won’t reveal it!

I have no idea where ours is!! But, I do know it contained bobbles (4 dgds) £1 coins, a pencil sharpener, a Rubic's cube, a dental mirror and forceps (?) and about 6 dice!

Ooh, and, sometimes a tape measure.
