I am clearing my desk. It's astonishing the rubbish I have collected over 6 years. Sitting on one side of me is stuff I can't bear to throw out, much of which was free stuff from companies and includes
1. A flatbottomed lab flask that was once full of green jelly beans
2. A cuddly lion from Tate & Lyle (called Lyle the Golden Syrup Lion)
3. Two tubes of suncream
4. a squeezy heart from the british heart foundation
5. A back massager
6. ten sachets of hangover cure
7. Some really nasty dried Slim Fast pasta
8. Four bottles of champagne (office perk, for getting funny stories into the diary. They are definitely going home!)
9. More dictation machines than I know what to do with
I must throw these things away, but they have been part of my life for SO long. I have to keep a year's worth of notebooks though (that's about 104 by my reckoning - a good two a week), which should fill up my desk. At present I'm moving desks twice, and staying at the first one for just three weeks before moving again, so maybe it would be best to transfer the notebooks only once. I'm getting quite nostalgic. I've been here for nearly all my working life!
