Mine was an analog Hello Kitty clock, the alarm was the 'Good morning to you, good morning to you' song (very loudly!) Now I just have a regular digital alarm clock that goes 'buzz buzz buzz' every morning still have Hello Kitty clock though! It's just too cute to throw away!
I have two junk drawers, one for smaller stuff. I would like more info on the batteries in the bag. We would all like to believe what we hear, but before I tear my house apart looking for bags of batteries and calling everyone I know to pass this tidbit, I need facts. I live in a hurricane prone area and all of my life we have put batteries in plastic bags into our emergency prepared kit. I have always put batteries in ziplock plastic bags when they come out of the original package. Not only to protect the batteries, but other things around them since old batteries leak. I have never seen them catch on fire, and I have them in all sizes, even mixed. This greatly concerns me, I'm sure I have them bagged up everywhere in my home and garage, and attic in my holiday boxes. If you remember where you read this, I would greatly appreciate you passing the link, thanks.
None of it is actually junk but it is a messy, very untidy assortment of 'things that will be useful one day'. Examples are, shopping list pad and odd bit of paper I don't want to waste, screw drivers, odd paper clips, pens, a ruler, combs, odd buttons (in case they might match one I need one day!!) some photographs etc. The drawer is so full it is difficult to close. The silly thing about my junk drawer is that I have more of all these things which are all in their correct places. I think that junk drawers 'develop' over time when we cannot be bothered to take the odd thing to its rightful place and we keep doing that until it is full to overflowing. This 'dumping ground' is always meant to be a temporary home for these oddments until I get around to putting them in the correct place but I never get around to sorting it out.
I do have batteries in a zip lock bagI have a junk area in a few rooms. Living room is actually a basket with napkins, remotes, eye glasses for reading, pens. kitchen- plastic dividers with scissors, deck of cards, scrap paper for grocery list, pens, rubber bands, twisties, matches EDIT I am home now so I can look:scotch tape, birthday candles and a bic lighter. It's actually very need and orderly. I don't even keep the rubber bands I give them back to the public library. I am very organized but my husband is the opposite so I have to set things up so that he will find things I can put them back with ease.
Im a heavy sleeper too and I never got up for school in time but i got this alarm clock from Disneyland and its really loud. Try get an alarm clock from the shop and ask if you can try it out. There should be batteries in it so turn it and if its loud pick that one. Put on your bed next to your pillows and go to sleep, It will wake you up for sure!
Pens and pencils, scissors, film canister, a box of thumb tacks, keys for who knows what, some key holders with no keys, batteries, chip bag clip, rubber bands, gum it go between cleaners, notepad, glue stick, hair pins, a little tiny Tupperware bowl, eyeglass case, a little flashlight, kids scissors, a box of paper clips, a thing I don't know what it's called, papercoveredwire bag closers, a thing from a bottle of bubble stuff, a ziplock bag with flower seeds, a mini picture frame with my grand kids and I going down the roller coaster into the water, a candle, Velcro, a hand wipe from FamousDaves, a button, hair clip with butterfly, an old watch, a whistle, a tiny bottle of sand with a paper in it that reads MUHS class of 1959 that they gave out at our fifty year reunion, and a pencil sharpener. :-) ;-) :-). Time to clean out the junk drawer. Fun question!
