Inspired by @Sandy_123’s Sunday fun, do you have a junk drawer and what’s in it?? 

I love the whole “everything in its place” mantra and try so hard to keep to it but so many things don’t have a place so end up in my junk box (too much stuff for a drawer 🤣)
Do you have one or are you super organised? And if you have one, what’s in it??

    As someone who's AuDHD, I have a couple of "doom piles" but they're all organised chaos.  The messiest draw is currently my hobby drawer, I REALLY need to organise all of these paints. They started off so neat and tidy too. :D

    When I started packing back in October I came  across lots of boxes of junk from my last move that I had never sorted in the 16 years since!! I was quite ruthless with those. But there are still numerous baskets full of more recent miscellaneous stuff still waiting for me to pack them. I suspect I may end up combining them in one big box and bringing it all because I won't want to hang around my mum's house sorting things out. I wonder how long it will take me to get to it again...

    I’m totally boring I’m sorry to say. But if anything is messy My messed up brain can’t cope with it. I have a lot of draws. And everything I Need is all organised in them. Such as one for anything pen and paper inc only the latest letters. Then one draw for phone chargers batteries earbuds plugs etc. Another for only candles and lighters. 
    Another for my reading glasses n sun glasses 
    And so on. 
    Mr has a cupboard for all our tool boxes. ( I bought him to keep tools tidy ) and keep all his Loads of modelling making tools and paints glued brushes etc. Which I bought him loads fancy boxes so he keeps everything tidy. And I’m not a nag. 
    As Ive said before on here I’m not a stuff person. I only have what I need. Inc furniture and soft furnishings. I can’t help it. I like lots spare space. No shelving full of stuff I don’t use etc. My mind needs to see space and organisation.

    We have 2 "junk" drawers. I think one is mostly full of takeaway menus from places we don't even order from I just keep forgetting to remove and recycle them.

    We also have I think a "random wires" drawers. And I have a box under my desk that is just "paperwork" that I should probably organise! I have everything digitally and organised as well, but I should really organise the in real life (irl) paperwork.

    I think there's a Playstation 1 in the paperwork box too. Maybe. 

    One of my ADHD issues tends to be just shoving things places and forgetting about them.

    I once put my headphones in the fridge.
