OK so, these are the shelves that fell down out of my cupboard
and they were, as you can see, airing cupboard shelves, while it used to be an airing cupboard.
Totally hopeless. And they have now stayed here for several weeks
on the grounds that it might be these ones that go back in, but it probably won't be
and, if it isn't, I could burn them for firewood but not sure so they're just sitting, cluttering up the place.
(Rachel: Alright. And then so the room is just to the left of those shelves).
Yeah. We're going into the room. OK.
So, as things start off here.
So, item by item then
here we have a box full - underneath is a box sort of things that could be useful for birthday presents or Christmas presents
but have just stayed there for, sort of, several years really because I forget it's there,
covered with a few dresses. These don't fit me and -
but they're too good to give to charity 'cos they're quite vintage,
so they're kind of sitting there maybe waiting for a clothes swap, maybe going to be sold but maybe not.
So here...
it's just stuff. There are some old clothes that are memories,
there's some LPs. This is what broke the shelves, basically, 'cos they're very heavy.
My old LPs. There's some bits and pieces:
an old coffee maker that I want to sell -
haven't got round to it;
an old duvet that's got, you know, sentimental value;
some old photo albums with no photos in them, because I haven't done it yet.
This is where I keep my jackets, which is a bit useless
because my jackets then aren't with the clothes in the rest of my wardrobe
so I never actually use them but that is a jacket cupboard, of jackets that never get worn.
This is a box of tech
so this is one of those half-finished jobs where I've identified all my old tech
like old phones and (oh, there's a moth just flew out of that! So there you go.
There you go). Old Blackberries. Look, Blackberries, and there's even an old laptop in here and stuff.
Random books that I'm probably never gonna read
and a few old DVDs - yoga DVDs.
(Rachel: and there's a box on top there).
Yeah, that's notebooks: unused mainly.
OK, old work, files from my old job which I think I'm keeping for some reason,
or some of them are old CVs, actually yeah, that's old CVs and stuff like that,
and that's old notebooks with things that I think are useful in them.
And then there's some old DVDs that I want to get these transferred to digital.
They're DVDs of me as a child and that sort of business
so they're quite precious but that's a job waiting to be done at some point.
A whole load of empty lever arch files
on the grounds that it'll be really useful for the office
once it's, sort of, back and up and running properly.
So, empty lever arch files.
Box from an iMac which I have
which, I don't know, just in case it has to be sent back, I suppose.
More videos, that have got value, there.
They've got - They're TV programme with little bits of me on them
and things like that from a long time ago, when I was in a band.
Piles of leaflets, which are my work leaflets.
This is clothes that I don't fit into anymore
from when I was thinner.
It's a suitcase that's kind of exploded as I riffle in thinking,
"Ooh maybe I can fit into that". Usually can't but it's a -
They do actually fit in the suitcase but they've all exploded at the moment.
Right, so the rest of it really - 'cos this is the place where the shelves collapsed.
So there was a load of shelving here
and a lot of the piles that you're seeing around are
basically because that shelving collapsed
which has caused a lot of the mess.
This used to be an airing cupboard.
So, down below you've got a rather odd space
which is, kind of, bags. There's more old work stuff here
but it's all relevant. I have been through it. It's relevant work stuff but -
and bags of bags. Some extra bags.
Bag of bags to go.
So this is one of these bags that it's another half-finished job.
That needs to leave the house and hasn't done.
Some of which - Some of this is just junk.
for charity but some of it's quite good stuff
like there's a beautiful, unused leather briefcase.
So, I don't use it because, for me, it's too heavy,
but I think some people would. It's very smart and nice and -
but probably just go to charity.
There's a keyboard here which I used to use for writing songs.
I have an ambition to be writing songs again at some point
and haven't done so it's just kind of sitting there.
The iMac is under here. This is a -
Huh! What ISN'T under here?!
So that's supposed to be under a dustsheet because,
obviously, these shelves are going to be replaced at some point.
There's my Dad's old cine camera
because there's some stuff on cine hanging around that needs to be digitised.
And a roll of old carpet for the rabbits.
A filing system that actually is a filing system: that is used, those two drawers there.
Office supplies in that in-tray-out-tray.
Yeah, sort of box files that are semi in use. They kind of are in use.
Some bits of tech here. So that's about it really.
Thanks for talking us round it.
