It pays to tidy up sometimes!

[mikkh]

I'm an out of sight out of mind kind of person, so I've been throwing used carrier bags down the side of my fridge for quite a while now (years basically) It's the gap under my stairs, so it's a BIG area.

I'm having the kitchen upgraded at the moment, so the full scale of the carrier bag mountain didn't become apparent till I had to empty the kitchen of all it's contents. A LOT of carrier bags, some were 'bags for life' and others of that ilk meant for reuse, so I set about sorting them out, meaning to ditch the thin flimsy ones and keep the good ones.

I'm neatly folding all the good ones when I notice something is in one - looks like a Christmas card I thought, but it's just an envelope with some writing on it

"Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate what you did for me"
and inside was a tenner

I might have to tidy up more often

Its not one of them that went out of circulation a few years back is it Mikk??

[mikkh]

No it's quite recent I think, from the bag my xmas presents (this or last year) were in I'm assuming

Charles Darwin on it

Lol Mikkh, nice surprise for you....are you going to do the rest of the house?

[mikkh]

Nah, you're only allowed one miracle a year and those curtains have been perfect for 10 years so I see no reason to ruin them by washing them. The sheets I change once a year whether they need it or not, and the carpets look better brown than the original cream anyway

Oooooh errrrrr, see if you can stay off your PC for a few hours a day and get cleaning instead

If I looked through my bag collection, I would probably find a box of 4 year old eggs.
