This is my top draw and a decapitated child Wii-ing.

As you can see I’m a total neat freak…..mmm….is self delusion aloud on a blog. Maybe not.

If you have no Idea what I am going on about I am playing along with a meme hosted on Hello Owl’s blog. This week the nice person who thought up the weekly theme has asked us to post photos of our Top Drawer, yay thanks for that! I don’t think I like memes anymore.

So, Um, yeah this is my top draw. It has become a wonderful place for stashing everything that turns up unexpectedly or is left over from something that I wasn’t expecting to have had stuff left over from, look even my sentences are messy. But seriously people, after March the month of Birthday Madness, how do you expect my top draw to look???  Anyway after being totally guilted out by the thought of people I’ve never met looking at my drawers I spent all afternoon cleaning them, well I spent the last 10 minutes before Glenn got home shoving stuff into the bin. Before I show you the amazing after shot please know that you are quite welcome to ask any questions you like about the copious amounts of junk  you see before you. I would gladly describe it all and the story of how it found itself in the draw but I am yet to kill anyone and I’m not sure what sentence boring to death would receive. 

And NOW…Drum roll please……(sorry it’s really not appropriate I’ve just always wanted to say that)  THE AFTER SHOT!!!

Yeah ok so there’s still one section that is still cluttered and I have no idea why there is duct tape but hey I might need it.

Glenn (who has just read this post) “ you shouldn’t say it’s duct tape, it’s electrical tape”

Me “ I know but duct tape sounds more like you’re going to murder someone”

Glenn (after a pause) “but it’s not duct tape”

Glenn (after a longer pause) “Hey, is that the only reason you tidied the top draw today?”

    What a massive effort. I totally would have judged you on your messy draw. I would have called it duct tape too.

  2. Han says:

    I confess I love the order of the “after” shot!! 😀

    sorry… but messy drawer way better!… what have you done with the pipecleaners… made anything good??

    whos on the sledge.. is that who you needed the duct tape for???

    messy drawer so much more intriguing 😉

    linda 🙂

    Don’t worry Linda give it a day or two and we’ll have all the intrigue we can stuff in there.
    The sledge has my Mother-in-law on it, she’s just gotten back from a holiday in Switzerland. I’m pretty sure we won’t be using the duct tape on her she lives to far away. The pipe cleaners have been made into twisty bracelets, candy canes and swords and I’m pretty sure they will be made into many more things tomorrow so they have gone to a good home.

    Duct tape is awesome, it can fix ANYTHING!

  6. Pam says:

    Yep, have to agree that the messy drawer is much more interesting! and duct is way better than electrical. 🙂
    Love your blog name btw.

    If you are wanting to restrain a captive, please do not confuse the two, electrical tape couldn’t hold an arthritic poodle still

    Here endeth the lesson…

    We live an hour out of Mackay so we got a bit of the blast. Which IGA does your sister own we use to live on the north side but I never noticed any there.

    i didn’t think your drawer was too messy, REALLY! it all seems to be identifiable not like mine which would take you a month of sundays to sort thru! btw i’m most impressed with your second take 🙂

  10. Norma says:

    the second shot of the drawer doesn’t look like it belongs to you Sarah, and the duct tape is very handy so don’t loose it.

  11. Norma says:

    I llove the action shot of Lilly

  12. Norma says:

    i know there is only one ‘l’ in love

  13. Tab says:

    I identify with the messy draw, but I’m impressed that it motivated you to de-clutter too! Well done. I really like the compartments in that draw. Such a sensible thing to have 🙂

  14. Bea says:

    Nice before and after. Kudos for cleaning out the drawer.

  15. Jackie says:

    Well done on the clean up. Did you really throw things out or are they lurking in another drawer somewhere??? That’s probably what I’d do. Loved your story.
