Went to Ikea the other night to buy drawers as OH was tarting up eldests bedroom whilst she was away and I looked in on the 'DIY' section where they sell off the seconds really cheap.

I bought 2 heavy duty drawers only from a fitted unit to use as nest boxes and they only cost £1.50 each!!  bargain!

How big are your drawers? I guess they are for chickens not tits and the like?

not sure we should be asking a lady how big her drawers are

I am sure the lady, being a lady, would not have taken offence at my méprise.

LOL!  They are normal dressing table sized drawers;  about 18" square and nice and deep (about 8" I'd say)

Am going to give the big house a thorough spring clean on Thursday and install them then

Very useful things, drawers! When my mum was born in the 1920s she was so small that she was placed in a drawer (kept open) with a warm hot-water bottle in the bottom to help keep her warm.

She has had the nick name "tiny" most of her life.

I use an old drawer to hold my seed packets... easy to organise and move around.... all sorted alphabetically.... Sad, eh?

Very hard to remember if you put the Maris Pipers under M or S for Spuds or P for Potatoes.

No problem..... My drawer organisation is matched by a word doc that lists the seeds by the same initial letter as appears on the packet - in the columns that follow this I keep a record of date sown / germinated / potted on and then out. 

It's sad what some people will do to avoid working all evening in front of a computer!   And to think the things were supposed to reduce "paper-work"!!
