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 happy birthday banner above the window. It's been there since 7th December 2018.
This sounds like the start of a good story.

Nothing to report here except DS2's school shoes which he kicked off when he came in yesterday.

Kitchen cupboard, wrapped in cellophane in our lounge. We're installing a new kitchen and have run out of storage space. Hence also tea caddies on the bookshelf.

A lone potato in front of the tv. My 1 year old apparently finds potatoes more entertaining than the thousands of toys she has.

Absolutely tonnes of shit in my living room. I had a week off work and decided to sort out the futility room and under the stairs.
I very much regret this decision. I did however find half a ton of stationery I thought I'd lost or DH had "borrowed". Also found 3 jumpers I was missing.
I'm back in work Monday, so I can crack on with getting the living room sorted then.

A cheese grater next to the TV.
I have found my people! Grin

I have a large rabbit doorstop on top of a fish tank.

I'm in the living room - there's a pack of baby wipes on the table, I used them to wipe clean DS1s easel. There's also one of DMs Tupperwares on the side, so she remembers to take it home with her later.

A Halloween mask sitting on the work top.

@CatsAndEyeliner - please come and live with me for a month or three, that should help me get my house in order 😉

serialreturner · 24/10/2020 12:42

Dh still hasn't put away his hacksaw after a million weeks

serialreturner · 24/10/2020 12:42

...... and there's always a measuring tape to be found on the mantlepiece - how is that an ornament?!

DM would have been scandalised.

Blueshmoo · 24/10/2020 12:42

Lego, fucking Lego everywhere Smile

TheySeeHerRowling · 24/10/2020 12:44

We also have a measuring tape on the mantelpiece (though not usually)

And a massive black Halloween raven thing on one of the speakers

TinkersRucksack · 24/10/2020 12:45

My husbands Crocs in the lounge.

They're out of place anywhere to be honest

pinkhousesarebest · 24/10/2020 12:47

Nothing particular in the room, but last years Christmas tree is in eyesight in our garden. Now completely overgrown by weeds and serving as a hibernation destination for our hedgehogs.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it..
MotherPiglet · 24/10/2020 12:54

Theres 2 pumpkins sat in the middle of the carpet because my 2yo keeps carrying them around

MouseholeCat · 24/10/2020 12:56

In the middle of the living room there is the stand for a telescope. DH put the telescope part away after we used it the other night to protect it from the cats, but left the stand out for some unknown reason.

My teenage son (16) in the living room. WiFi must be down or something 🤷‍♀️

Marmite27 · 24/10/2020 13:01

DH Has put some shelves up.

There is an elm tree on my dining table.

About 40 packs of Sainsbury's Lego Cards! I did a Click and Collect order last night and I think I must have been given all the earlier unwanted ones!!!
My plan was to give them to the little lad over the road but his mum has said his collection is now complete...
