Thanks to Debra for asking what a spanner is! Love to hear the differences in our language.

It's like we were given a list to memorise in Home Economics at school and we've dutifully filled this drawer to the brim with Life's Essentials.<br /><br />I love tea-towels, especially the arty types, and have enough to run a soup kitchen. There's a company here in Australia that commissions artists to do limited edition print runs for their tea-towels, resulting in Affordable Art if you choose or Functional Art if you're not too precious about them. I have been gifted a couple but I also bought one and had it made into my kitchen blind. Appropriately enough, the brand is Third Drawer Down!Pipistrellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904613196101010022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-63052469299141633942019-03-21T23:33:07.358+00:002019-03-21T23:33:07.358+00:00I have a drawer like that.

I seem to have 6 unopened rolls of binbags and 3 packs of barbecue kebab skewers; some bendy straws I bought when the grandchildren were little (they are now 13) and several allen keys. Also several "useful" lengths of used string (I seem to be turning into my father) and a variety of tools - and yes, a large adjustable spanner which was used to knock a nail in when I couldn't find the hammer (which has now surfaced). I have decided to make a small bag for useful "indoor" tools so that I don't have to delve into the depths of the shed every time I need to find a screwdriver (and which obviously never seem to be put back anyway). The shed - now that's a whole different story.aileen ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684415837832846922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-15119982926313736442019-03-21T12:05:23.555+00:002019-03-21T12:05:23.555+00:00You could always open a branch of Screwfix.
