Every home has a box of cables and stuff. It is a law of nature.
I tried marking each Gizmo and appropriate charger using typex but then the kids scraped the typex off
Figure out what it is for and mark the item with a stick on label, cut to size, one label can do a number of these things and then you chuck them all in the correct box of cables.
That is what I tried before the typex. These things get hot in use and the glue on the sticky labels fails to adhere.
You can buy pens that write on them. We have gold and silver ones at work. No need for glue and neater than tipex.
One tends to use what is to hand ~ I do not have an employer to steal from.
Sure they can't be too expensive. In fact Mrs Snoopy is bound to have gel pens, try one of those.
I am NOT approaching that Tat Mountain for anything.
ASK! DO NOT RUMAGE!!
WOT And lose her for the rest of the day whilst she looks, speculatively, at everything she finds in there? Don't be silly ~ if I could be assured of a speedy positive response I might but life is too short.
Good point. I actually got very little tidying done yesterday as I spent most of it "organising" tat mountain.
Organising? You mean it has a system now? Let me guess, that section there is for tat, that section over there is for tat etc
There are different areas of tat. There is china tat, knitting tat, sewing tat, soft furnishing tat, clothing tat, household tat.
