I spent a lot of time single, living in unfurnished accomodation, so had collected a lot of the 'bottom drawer' stuff, although how one is supposed to get a bed/settee into a bottom drawer has always bothered me.

:? If "top drawer" means the best what does " bottom draw " mean?
We might imagine that top draw is the best then bottom draw means the worst!! It's not so !! Which in turn demonstrates the difference between the literal and the metaphorical!!

Who was watching Corrie last night then :-)

No, I never did. My thoughts were always "Why should the girl think of bottom drawer stuff" there's going to be a wedding, so share and share alike :roll:

I've been wearing this frock since Christmas, just shows how much notice you take. :roll:

What's the difference between a frock and a dress?

Mmmm...my botton drawer has got undies in it. Saving them for the future!

I should really use a new pair, these are getting a bit crusty.
