Today I have not only cleared out The Cupboard Of Doom Under The Steps, I have also finally emptied and binned The Giant Box Of Cables. Behold my superpowers!!!

Careful - those cables are like the mythical Hydra. You throw out one, and two are suddenly required!

An embarrassing number of half-used tubes of Savlon several years out of date now heading for a new and exciting home.

26th-century archaeologists are going to have a hell of a time figuring all this stuff out. They will conclude that we had some pretty weird ritual practices involving unguents extruded from metal and plastic tubes.

I've had to have another shower as I was absolutely filthy dirty and I am now as stiff as a board from all the bending and dragging stuff around 😫

There's a supplementary small stash that lives in my office drawer, but I have pretty recently curated that ...

Really must get rid of my Vast Collection Of RS232 Cables. Can't remember when I last used an actual RS232 interface...

You need a glass of wine to celebrate. I hope Daphne is relieved.

I don't drink! Daphne is glad it's over as it interrupted her afternoon nap

But what if, one day soon, you’re in dire need of a FireWire 800 cable to retrieve something from a mid-00s Mac? You know, an extremely common occurrence.

I expect it’ll be fine 😅 and nicely done on the clearing-out! Had a cable purge recently myself, tbf. So many cheap, short microUSB ones… the horror.

I mean, how many DVI cables can one woman have?? (A lot. The answer is a lot.)

Yes, but is it enough?

the correct number of cables of any type is always n+1

Douglas Adams' B-arkers used leaves as currency after landing on their exile planet. I firmly believe that, after the inevitable apocalypse, DVI cables and IEC mains cables will serve the same purpose for us. KEEP THEM!

Our house is full of cables and old phones and phone cases......why? What do they do? Haha 😄

You'll regret this when you need to connect up 12 DVI monitors in a decades time!

I need to tidy /sort out the under stairs cupboard as I can't find the recycling bags (I know are in there). Been putting it off for a fortnight 😬🫣. I had a look when I got out the cat carrier for the V-E-T. Can't order more bags from the council website or buy them. They get randomly delivered 🙄

Having just spent all day removing an old shower screen (bottom screw was rusted in and took 2 hours to remove) and fitting the new one, including sealant, I feel ready for your Loft of Despond..even the understands Glory Hole.
