I'm loving this thread. I've actually laughed out loud reading the contents at the bedside, while looking at the pile of shite on mine, and too embarrassed to list them

emergency pants, in case I have gone to bed without and have to run out of the house
I am going to instigate this! Although perhaps not on my bedside table.

My fantasy bedside table has
A book
A plant (fern?)
A lamp
A glass of water.

I tidied mine earlier:
Book
Hairbands
Glasses
Lube

Hand cream (Burt's Bees one in a pot)
A photo of me with my grandmother when I was about 12
A lamp

That's it! I try and keep it uncluttered.

Argh. Just cant imagine anything worse than smoking in your bed, bedsheets stinking of smoke and actual smoke just hanging in the air... blergh. Plus the ceiling goes all yellow.

Once moved into a house where the previous tenants smoked in bed. The stink was horrid and the ceiling was actual bright yellow. Gross.

I don't have a bedside table, instead I have a scratching post (yes we're a bit bonkers about the cat), on it is an extra blanket for if I get cold. However, I do have a long book shelf within reaching distance with several books on it, my glasses (when I go to sleep that is), photo's of my granddad and me, a painting of my mums house (home) and a teddybear that was given to us when my daughter was stillborn (much too early).

I am going to seem a bit minimalist which I really am not but ...

A book
A glass of water

That's it.
