Grocery Lists, mine and Margo's, this week's and last week's
Things To Do lists
Matchbox cars... we are having a Matchbox revival here!
Lego
Shells
Snotty tissues, bad news if they wash with black school trousers
Mars Bars wrappers
A fuzzy hat
Gloves
A cheque (ack!)
A key (yay!)
Fuzz
And several Euros from the Belgium Trip
Well, what did you find in your laundry recently? Tell all, internetties!
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.

we went away a few weekends ago, and I found a matchbox car in my toiletry bag...how in the world did a matchbox car get mixed up with my toothpaste and make up?
You just can't beat the joyous, conquering feeling of finding the chewing gum before it goes into the washer. ;-) I win.
Mars Bars--that makes me smile! I found candy wrappers, coins, a rock and a piece of action hero. Someone is fighting crime without a right leg it seems.
Oooh, Halfasstic IS the winner.
Also: Rubber bands. Red ones.
A pen - a leaky pen. And a whole bunch of trouble from She Who Must Be Obeyed.
I miss your old 'things I've found in pockets' summary at the top :-(
Lets see..in laundry...green cigarette lighter, $20 (yay I LOVE laundry tax!), brownie wrapper courtesy of my son and one detatched button.
Now if we are talking handbags I cleaned out mine the other day and amongst the assorted atm slips and 'to do lists' were a pregnancy test (have to put that in the baby book), a terribly melted lipstick with no cap(eww) that my pen managed to wedge into, a black marker, a flourescent green spider (holdover from halloween, a love note from my son, a metal fork and one side of my daughter's owl earring.
I am boycotting the laundry, so nothing to report. Last week it was suckers and the usual Halloween debris.
