I have to say I read Dom's post and nearly choked on my cuppa. I guess that shows what sort of a mind I have. Going to go and get some soapy water and give it a clean! )t'

Sounds like me.
Envelopes (for writing on the back of), credit card slips (for checking against the bill and throwing away - except that i paid the bill 6 months ago), and all the things waiting filing or chucking.
I think I have a desk top under there somewhere.

Shlugh - that is impressive! I have a carrier bag of ponies from my childhood in the attic, just in case I ever have a little girl to pass them on to!

I used to collect my cats' fallen whiskers, lots of cats means lots of whiskers. I made a little head out of blue tack and stuck them all in the top as hair... :?
Had to throw it out in the end as one of the cats found it and thought it was a toy!

I have a big collection of snow globes. I have around 200 in all shapes and sizes, from tiny ones you can wear as a necklace to great big musical ones. Unfortunately I now live in a tiny house so they're all boxed and in the attic {cry}
