Anyone fancy a round of "what junk is on my table"?

There's only so much I can fit in my pockets so I am updating the name of this game from "what has it got in it's pockestses" to "what junk is on my table?".
It's a small fold away table.
Would you care to guess what items it currently holds?

No prizes, sorry - but we all get to "win the fun".

I just looked up and there IS a troll doll but it doesn't count sadly as it's on a different table (in a different room, I like to travel).

My patience
My sanity
A used tissue
Some poncy coffee table book no one has ever or will ever read and it was bought just to make you look better in front of the snobby friends when they come round for wine

WildOrchids67 · 23/04/2020 19:39

Oh I misunderstood the game. Apologies. I will guess tangerine peel, the remnants of Easter eggs and an unfinished jigsaw.
