Clear-out – Day 3

The bathroom drawers got a turning out today. There are 7 drawers there, three large and four small. The oldest thing was some Bonine (anti-motion sickness) I bought in Costa Mesa California when I lived there. I moved away in 1994.

The oddest thing was a complete plaster set of teeth moulds. I decided to keep it for when I get my bottom bridge replaced. Might save some dosh, or at least some aggro.

Also found, for a laugh, 8 lipsticks (Lancome, cos I deserved it), of which two belonged to my mother, who died in 1993. I haven’t worn lipstick since I came to the UK in 1997. I saved 3 (in case of emergency) and binned the rest.

A couple of weeks ago I was in some massive pain, and whinging about how we didn’t have any good painkillers. Today I found co-codemol in the drawer. Off code, assuredly, but probably way better than nothing. I kept it.

I found a small plastic tool that DH is convinced belongs to something important, but neither of us can remember what. I kept it.

Outcome: two empty drawers, and one that’s only half full.

Result!

  1. Don’t keep the lipstick – shelf life is only 1-2 years (or 4 yrs) depending on who you believe. Usually smells yucky and rancid by then.
    If you have an emergency involving lipstick give me a call cos I have lots of interesting shades which I have acquired as free gifts.

  2. Oh, Helen, NO!! A shelf-life? All I did when I tried them out was a dab on the back of my hand. I *never* wear make-up, and to be honest it was silly to keep them. So, out they go! Thanks.
