Pro tip for anyone living alone: Put away all but one of each thing, so that if you need an item and it's dirty, you have to clean it. Learned that trick a decade ago and I went from Mount Everdish to pretty much nothing.
I have a drying rack that doesn't open wide enough to slot plates in it. I did manage to fit a chopping board in it, just... Then I heard a crash a few minutes later as it had popped out and jumped out the window.
Fortunately there was scaffolding outside, which I could get onto from a window on the other side. Going up and over the roof to fetch the chopping board gave me the chance to check out the new apartments they're building up there.
