Reading this took me back to when i was a kid. We used to have a box up on the top of the kitchen cabinets and everything and anything was thrown in there - buttons, tape measure, paper, crayons, bits and pieces of everything. If we wanted a button or something like that mum used to say have a look in the box, so down would come the box and tipped on the floor and we'd spend a couple of hours looking through the stuff we'd tipped on the floor. Sometimes we'd find it sometimes we wouldnt. If we didnt then it was the sewing box or the drawer.
