Since there is only a single timer_list variable, it will get
overridden for sure on second initialisation.

A single timer_list can hold info only for a single timer. For e.g it
has a field "unsigned long expires". The moment you will try to
initialise timer_list again with a new expire values, its value will
be overridden and only the new expire value will be there.
Its like assigning a value to a variable. Only the last value will be
held by the variable
So better use seperate timer_lists.
