 How full is your car ? - Ted

Well, it might not be too savoury but it's pretty well cluttered up inside.

Toolbox with spanners, a small socket set and a large range of clips and bits of wire, in connection with my part time job
Large coir doormat in back...to kneel on.
Various rubber bungies.
Cushion.
A travel rug.
A kiddie booster seat.
Lucozade sport...sugar boost.
Mini Mars bars....similar.
18ft Jump leads under drivers seat with jack and brace.
Various bits for caravan stabiliser.
Blue badges. Ice scrapers. Set of bulbs.
15 quid in pound coins, pens, notebook CDs, sunglasses,soft toilet roll, kitchen roll.
Large A to Z and magnifying glass. About 3 torches.Load of stuff under bonnet.

Oh, I forgot, there's a sicky toffee rotting away in one of the rear door pulls...must get around to shifting it sometime.

Probably a fair bit more. Good job it's a 2 litre diesel....put that lot in Rat's Panda and it wouldn't go !

I'm with Stu, nothing in sight, everything in it's place. Having said that there is loads of stuff actually in the car but it's all useful* and all stored away.

*So useful i can't recall ever using any of it, wheel brace, spare bulbs, fuses, oil top up, screenwash top up yada yada

I have two small kids, so loads of clobber for them, including two car seats, and assorted books, CDs, plastic figures of dinosaurs, farm animals and Postman Pat figures, Bob the Builder figures, Charlie and Lola magazines, battery operated child's dashboard simulator, etc etc etc. Tried keeping their stuff under control, but it's a losing battle. I haven't cleared it out or vacuumed the floor/seats in a while, so it's a right mess. Comes up nicely when I can be bothered, though.

For the car:

1 litre bottle of engine oil
Torch
De-icer
Warning triangle
A-Z maps of various local places
Owner's manual
Left over lino to protect the boot floor
Floor mats thrown in with the car (good job...)
Cloths for cleaning up stuff from the kids

Car manual and service record in the glove box and small pack of tissues. Had some de-icer but now consigned to the garage as its spring. I'm kinda minimalist

You untidy cluttered wretches :-)

I had the delight!? of clearing the endless junk out of the MB's boot when it went in for LPG conversion, so i now have a lovely empty clean and clear boot, apart from a humungous gas cylinder taking half the space.

Plus a garage with even more junk in than before.

"dog poo bags"

How do you train a dog to do it in a bag? I can't even get my son to lift up the loo seat.

>> get my son to lift up the loo seat.

And nor should he. Teach the girls to wipe the seat, or teach the boy to point better.

"Teach the girls to wipe the seat"

The problem is this. He comes to our room every morning at 6 and piddles all over the ensuite. Wifey brings me a coffee and I have a fag out of the bathroom window. What follows coffee and a fag (sometimes very rapidly)?

See my problem?

Edit...why did my reference to size of font trip the swear filter ?

They all do it Ted, you fold the legs in, bend the spine and it fits into a very tight corner.,
