By "mining for Platinum" do you mean "searching for the ds cartridge for Pokemon Platinum in your likely pigsty of a room"?

It's not a pigsty!

Yet.

Well, there's one bag with clothes overflowing from it that i have still to put away

And the kitchen utensils

How are you mining for Platinum then m'dear?

Of course, under the pillow...

Your habit of keeping things under your pillow is strange, dear
