Cleaned out the car today. Here's the inventory:
9 coats
5 handbags (theirs not mine)
4 pairs of socks
1 odd sock
2 books (one of which I swear I have never seen. Did they shoplift it? And manage to get it into the car without me noticing? Highly likely.)
3 pairs of wellies
2 Happy Meal troll heads
5 hair bobbles
7 buckets
8 spades
1 kite
1 stick/small tree
1 stuffed chick
1 sun hat
1 windbreak
1 buggy (single - we ditched the double ages ago because it was a bastarding behemoth of a buggy, as all double buggies are.)
3 pairs of 'lost' sunglasses
1 rotting apple core
4 half full bottles of water
One perfume stick
One bottle of 'go to sleep' lavender spray - I have no idea how or why this in my car. No idea. Beyond 'because twins'.
2 uneaten Yoyos
7 YoYo cards
473* empty Haribo packets
271 empty crisp packets
1/2 tonne of biscuit crumbs
At least 17 satsumas worth of dried/mouldy satsuma peel (which actually made me feel a bit better because at least they do eat some fruit, as well as all the Haribo, biscuits and crisps!)
A LOT of sand (half a beach at least)
Countless used, snotty wipes/tissues
5 handbags (theirs not mine)
4 pairs of socks
1 odd sock
2 books (one of which I swear I have never seen. Did they shoplift it? And manage to get it into the car without me noticing? Highly likely.)

My car is now as gleaming as it can be, given the abuse it has suffered. I am under no illusion that it will stay this way. Within a week, two weeks max, it'll be back to being a cesspit full of rotting food and crap. Until then, I shall thoroughly enjoy the fleeting cleanliness. Parenting: you've got to take your wins where you can find 'em!
*I've started to make numbers up now. Basically, too many to count.
