I need a vodka and make it a large one!

Today I found our wedding congratulations cards, a leaflet from the little fish restaurant we found on our honeymoon in Sorrento, and a book of matches from our favourite chinese where he proposed on my birthday 13 years ago. My birthday is next weekend,our wedding anniversary is the week after.
Today I shed some tears, then I packed those things up and moved on to the next cupboard.

Junk

Right, as you know I am in the process of moving house (hence the somewhat intermittent posting)and I have decided that, after discovering I am not alone,I am going to come out of the closet..............................No not that closet!.........in fact it's not really a closet, it's a drawer!

I've never admitted this to anyone.I give the appearance of being a reasonably tidy person. I don't have ornaments (they gather dust and are pointless unless made by my daughter),I file my bank statements, and I always make my bed when I get up in the morning but i have a secret drawer of......................complete and utterly useless bits of crap. There I've said it. Now are there steps to follow to gain enlightenment and release myself from this millstone?

In my drawer of crap there were- Birthday candles in various states of uselessness,picture hooks,keyrings x 2,several wine bottle corks, screws of varying size, takeaway menu's from about 6 years ago,3 erasers,2 books of matches,1 broken wine bottle pourer,1 vodka shot pourer (I see a pattern here hmmmm)3 pens (none of which worked),2 decks of cards (1unopened), countless receipts for nothing of any relevance and several of them were older than 2years,several hotel sewing kits (I don't sew)an OPEN box of drawing pins (which I discovered when I put my hand to the back of the drawer) and several bent drinking straws which were no use to man nor beast.
Do you have a drawer like this at home? And if you do I can tell you the best way to deal with it.
Take one large black bin liner.
Open said bin liner.
Take the drawer off it's runners.
Hold the drawer and the bin liner to each other.
TIP THE CRAP IN THE BIN

The next step is THE most important part.

Take the now full bin,tie it's handle and take it outside to the garbage immediately!Do not look inside the bag and never ever be tempted to retrieve any of those lifesaving things that you've depended on for as long as you can remember.

What's in your crap drawer?

ps I confess I kept the vodka shot pourer,but hey sometimes going cold turkey getting rid of the crap means you need a drink to recover!
