and tell me something random and out-of-place that's in there?

I'm in my bedroom but there's a box of Sensodyne toothpaste, as yet unopened, sitting looking at me. It's on its way to the bathroom - has been for a couple of weeks... It'll make it there at some point I'm sure!

A bicycle pump next to the tv (from when DH pumped up my gym ball about 2 weeks ago!).

The (live) chicken on the Aga wins!

@timetest

A cheese grater next to the TV.
Come on, you can't just say that & not say why 🤣

I'm imagining all kids of horror film scenarios!?

A six foot wooden log store in the middle of my kitchen

GuyFawkesHadTheRightIdea · 24/10/2020 11:58

I'm in the living room. There's a 15kg bag of dog biscuits next to the bookcase because it won't fit in the dog food cupboard.

OldEvilOwl · 24/10/2020 11:58

A fan on top of a cabinet. I really need to put it back in the shed until next summer

DolphinsAreEvil · 24/10/2020 11:59

There is gold tinsel in my living room, artistically arranged around my speakers. Trying to sneak my xmas decorations into the room so that my husband will subliminally think it’s a good idea to put the xmas decks up early, or at least that it was his idea ....... the red candle is being put up today.....

BlusteryShowers · 24/10/2020 11:59

A snorkel in the playroom

A children's ceiling projector in my kitchen

VanillaSpiceCandle · 24/10/2020 12:02

I love these threads. I want to know why the cheese grater is by the TV - why is is there? How long’s it been there. Also, won’t the chicken jump off the Aga?!

For me, two frame examples on the mantle I’ve got on loan. Still can’t make a decision, it’s been 2 weeks.

Mintjulia · 24/10/2020 12:04

I'm sitting in the kitchen and ds's dirty rugby boots are under the radiator. He was supposed to clean them last night but got sidetracked. At least he didn't leave them in the garden Grin

ReplacementPlasticUterus · 24/10/2020 12:05

A flexible tape measure, 3 toilet roll inners, a tennis ball and an empty shoe box in the middle of the lounge floor. They're for the kitten to play with though, so I don't mind.

I do mind however, the 3 packs of trivia cards that DH left on the cabinet by the front door last Christmas, on top of his cheque book which hasn't been used since 2018.

There's also a 5kg dumbbell poking out from under the sofa - that one is my fault, and I've no idea where its partner is, which gives you some idea of when I last used them.

Remote control for electric fire - the fire was out away a month ago - we live in Australia.

MJMG2015 · 24/10/2020 12:09

I'm renovating, so every bloody room is full of crap that shouldn't be there, whether it's materials & tolls or crap from the room that's being worked on. Unfortunately nothing us being worked on...

Other that that stuff there's nothing in the sitting room that doesn't belong in here, but plenty that wouldn't be in here if the house was bigger...

Need to remember the lottery ticket!!

My DS lounging on the sofa reading the beano when he is supposed to be doing his homework....

Bluntness100 · 24/10/2020 12:12

Some sample bathroom tiles and a paint brush sitting in the living room right now.
