Lurking on top of my fridge and no doubt yours, is a little basket of stuff.
You know the sort of stuff. The bits and pieces of life that don’t quite “go” anywhere.
(Okay you might have a “stuff” drawer)
Here’s my basket:
The contents include:
Spare house keys – only one key still works
Used birthday candles – two types
Pegs
Blunt pencil
Playing cards – just a couple of loose ones
A comb
Keyring
Medicines
Cotton reels
Glass beads
An allen key
An earplug
A sharpened pencil
A key finder (no battery) on a piece of elastic
Some random bits of plastic that once had a role in life
A texta
A marble
Hair elastics
A thank you card
The battery cover for a toy (oh that’s where that is!)
A screw
So what do you think that says about me?
And what’s in your basket of stuff??

I see the tube of voltaren gel there. I love that stuff. It’s what keeps me working. I sleep with it massaged into several of my joints nightly and my hands are also covered in it with a pair of cotton gloves on in case I touch my face in my sleep.
We have the junk alcove in our kitchen. It’s where everything gets dumped at the end of the day. Just thinking about it makes me weep.
The other spot is the top of the microwave. Currently the top of the microwave houses voltaren, zantec (to minimise negative effects of voltaren), a piece from my 7yo’s magnetic set, the sugar bowl and the instructions for the coffee machine.
On top of my fridge? You are wondering what is on top of my fridge?
A Christmas tree!
What else would you expect from me. The kitchen tree is there.
Really should take a photo of it for my blog….
I used to have a basket like that on top of my fridge. For all I know, it’s still there, but it’s now completely buried under dust. I’m thinking of sending in archaeologists to dig it out.
Mine’s a drawer, a very large drawer and it has everything bar the kitchen sink in it, which is probably just as well because it would be very hard to do the washing up if the sink was really in the drawer.

My junk basket grew into a junk drawer and is threatening to take over the kitchen! Its got bandaids, teething gel, keys that don’t fit anything, coins, the most ridiculous amount of hair bows, headbands and elastics and all the little things (beads, magnets, paper clips, sequins) that I have fished out of the baby’s hands and mouth… I should just empty it straight in the bin.
Right now I have a HOUSE full of STUFF. Stuff everywhere!!!!! There isn’t much room on top of my fridge so basically there are a few bits of paper, some stickers and some lollies I was hiding from the kids…oh and a LOT of dust. Thankfully no one usually looks up there. We do have a thingamywhatit’s box in the cupboard in the office. No idea what’s currently in that…..
I wonder what it says about me that I don’t have a stuff drawer or basket or receptacle of any kind. I don’t have miscellaneous stuff. Can’t bear it. Also, I can’t stand listening to songs in shuffle mode on my iPod. Excuse me while I trot off to the loo: I have to poo out a diamond.
Also your kitchen must be nice & cool because those candles look like they’ve held their shape well.
