Before I actually go to bed I thought you might like to know what is actually in my car now I have fully cleaned it out - There's a thread on the ship of fools at the moment that is asking people about this!
Anyway
In the boot.
Weed and feed for lawns - some in a spreader container and some in a large plastic box, 3 pairs of gardening gloves (2 pairs badly worn/with holes), some old green wellies (still without holes), a packet of seeds, 3 spray bottles of various insect and pest removing chemicals, a pair of green large plastic "hands" for scooping up leaves, some natural twine, some "paint on" weedkiller, some spray weedkiller (hardly any left), a bottle of compost accelerator, a large plastic carrier, a plastic sheet, a plastic handy box, a foot pump, a pump powered from car cigarette lighter, 3 jump leads (don't ask why three!), a socket set, screen wash, 2 cartons of oil, coolant, tyre spanners, spare bulbs, a first aid kit where everything is almost certainly out of date, some shoes made of neoprene type fabric for wearing on the beach, a plastic crate, a three pronged hand weeding tool, a small electric sander - oh and the spare wheel of course.
In the car:
3 CD's, my milage book, 2 ballpoint pens and a pencil with the point broken, a pair of "clip on" sunglasses with one lens missing, 2 tyre pressure gauges (one angled, one straight), one gauge for measuring tyre tread, a map book of the UK, a street map book of Manchester, a plastic bag containing used tissues and other rubbish, another plastic bag containing a new pair of gardening gloves (lime green) and a spray for removing scale insects from houseplants, printouts from the internet giving routes to various different destinations, a fleecy rug, a red folding umbrella, a wooden air-freshener, refreshed with various natural essential oils, a small californian duster, a torch with it's batteries nearly run down but not quite, a personal attack alarm (goodness knows what state its batteries are in) a spare part for the car cigarette lighter and my "backfriend" special seat that stops backache when driving.
You don't want to know what it was like before I cleaned it out!
