Car Key

The first car I had was a Corolla. I think it ended up being used to drive around the paddocks on a farm.

Kept this key for a long while.

Time to throw it out.

Spice Rack

It's been sitting in the kitchen cupboard for two years. This wooden spice rack has a McCormick brand label on it. They sell spices and Aeroplane Jelly.

I'll leave it out on the footpath. Someone will take it.

Floppy Disk holder

I don't ever use floppy disks any more. In an on-line society, I don't even use CDs to copy things around.

Don't need this disk holder, so someone can have it for Christmas.

Pants

They don't fit any more and never will.

Out they go in the Salvo bin.

Book - The God Stories by Leila Berg

Here's a boring book.

There it goes.....

Footie Beanie

In 2005 Sydney Football Club played West Coast Eagles in the AFL Grand Final. I went to function to watch the game and, because I don't support either club, I chose West Coast to barrack for.

So I bought this blue and yellow beanie to wear for the day. West Coast lost and don't need the beanie any more.

Raffle Tickets

These raffles were drawn a while ago. No one contacted us so we can't have won.

It must be said that I didn't buy them. I discarded all forms of gambling some years ago - another spiritual exercise.

Broken Hook

It's been sitting the cardboard box under the bed where we keep useful tools.

But this one is not useful because it is broken.

Multi Vitamins

As you can see, the use-by date on this jar of Sustained Release Multi Vitamins and Minerals is July 2001. Why is it still in the cupboard?

In the bin with it!

Shirt

I just don't like this pin stripe shirt and never wear it. It'll go in the Salvo bin as well.

Scaf

This is a scarf , although it could be mistaken for a bar towel.

It's a promotional thing from work. They were given out to clients at the launch of one our products. The launch was held at the minus 5 bar in Sydney. A realy 'cool' bar made entirely from ice. So the patrons needed as scarf to stay warm. There were some scarves left over so were given to staff. I'll never wear it. But Alex from work wears his every day under his motorbike helmet.

I'll put it out in the Salvo bin.

Phone Charger Plug

This little plug connected a mobile phone to a charger powered by AA batteries. I no longer have the phone or the charger.

I won't ever miss it when I throw it out.

Clip-on

I found this sunglass clip-on for glasses somewhere and held on to them in case someone claimed them.

I've had them for too long. No one will claim them now. Pitty - when I lost mine, it cost me $110 to replace them.

Magazine

I have no idea why this apc magazine has been sitting in the bookcase since April 2004. I don't remember buying it, and I don't buy computer magazines any more.

It'll go in the bin.

Cap

I bought this cap at the Fremantle E Shed Markets during our trip to Perth in August. It was a great sunny day I hadn't brought one with me.

I don't particuarly like the black and yellow design. I now have another (plain black) cap. So I don't need this one.

Calendar

I know it's early to be throwing out 2006 calendars, but this one has not been hanging up anywhere. It might as well go out now.

It is the 2006 Big Issue calendar.

Padlock

I don't know how this lock attached to a chain ended up in the table drawer near the front door. I don't have a key for it. (No, it wasn't the ones I threw out on 2nd November 2006)

Fragrence Bottle

This little porous bottle is meant to hold fragrant oil and slowly release the scent.

It hung from the rear view mirror of my car for along while emanating Vata Therapeutic Aroma oil. This was calming and very pleasant. It tended to overcome the vata aggravation caused by travel.

Now the bottle had its day. It's oily and sticky on the outside and leaking.

Too bad. I know they sell similar bottles at the St Kilda Esplanade Market on Sundays.

Toy Tiger

This tiger belonged to Nicole and was left with us. It has been sitting on top of the bedroom cupboard in more than one house we have lived in.

The last time she visited she said it could go.

Umbrella

This broken umbrella has been sitting in the back of my car.

It was only $5, I'll get another when it rains.

Someone else is discarding as well!

It looks like someone else in my street is also getting rid of stuff.

Someone put these two kitten figurines on my fence post.

Good on them.
