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 month ago I'd have been able to claim more than a year's worth of birthday cards on the mantlepiece ... we were overseas last Christmas so they didn't get sorted then ... But I did finally pick them up and put them in people's rooms and the general ones on the stairs.

But otherwise, my living room is just a complete disaster zone, which is particularly bad and embarassing because it serves as my music teaching room so I have a few students and their parents in here regularly. Sitting on the sofa I can see 7 violin cases of various sizes, not counting others under the harpsichord, which we were given but need to get repaired. On top of said harpsichord are far too many books folders and papers, a computer mouse, a pocket kite and a helicopter toy ...

I won't describe the other end of the room ...

bathroom mirror in my study - still there from when I needed two mirrors to see what I was doing when cutting my hair a few weeks months ago.

I'm in my dining room and there is a bone pen on the table and 2 child carseats on the kitchen floor.

There is a box of garlic bulbs on my sofa. I accidentally ordered twice as much as I need for my garden and now I will either have to dig three extra beds for it or find a friend who will take it.

I'm not sure how much garlic I use in a year, but so far I've planted 20 cloves of elephant garlic and 60 cloves of other (assorted) varieties. I think I already have too much.

A Christmas tree in the kitchen.

Nothing random. A place for everything...etc!

GuppytheCat · 24/10/2020 13:31

Bedroom.

A two-foot high 3D printer.

Playroom - pair of wellies, fishing net, mud covered bloody football and an empty can of Diet Coke. Could be a lot worse actually!

Rowing machine in the dining room.

DS is a rower and it has somehow ended up there...

CrazyBaubles · 24/10/2020 13:43

I'm in the bathroom (cleaning) and my address book is in here....

I used it downstairs to send a present to someone yesterday, brought it upstairs, needed a wee, put it on the bathroom cabinet and forgot all about it Blush

Purplecatshopaholic · 24/10/2020 13:44

Three tons of weighty coffee table tomes on the (admittedly) coffee table. None mine. None about anything interesting or likely to get read any time soon (BF is a film buff and serial buyer of said weighty tomes...)

orangenasturtium · 24/10/2020 13:44

A xylophone.

Not a toy xylophone, a proper musical instrument. It's been squatting in my sitting room since lockdown began, unable to be returned to its rightful home as it is still closed.

WhatTheFrock · 24/10/2020 13:44

Huge bass cab and guitar, in the kitchen.

DH has been moving them to the office for over a month now. Hmm We aren't allowed to sit them, but the cat is ignoring him.

BikeRunSki · 24/10/2020 13:47

A wet suit (unused)
Wetsuit socks (wet).

Sitting room.

I'm eating my lunch and our hand held vacuum cleaner is on the dining table, where DH left it on Thursday! I'm waiting to see how long before he moves it!

PeonyTruffle · 24/10/2020 13:56

I'm in my living room. There is a small pet carrier, we have no pets.

My son uses it for his teddy rabbits 🤷🏽‍♀️

Ninkanink · 24/10/2020 13:57

I’m in the kitchen.

Nothing random/out of place as such, except DH has left a set of metal files on the counter. But it’s half agreed that he’s okay to do so at weekends when he’s working on projects.

IloveZoflora · 24/10/2020 13:58

I'm in the living room DH laying on the sofa, he shouldn't be there whilst I'm getting the house ready for his parents to visit for tea!! In the kitchen on the side is HIS tool box been there a week waiting to go back with its friends the drill and sander back in the garage where they will be more comfortable, I refused to move it, I didn't get it out 😂 x

In my bedroom looking at an unused old wicker washing basket and I know that it contains a doll my DD is scared of but won't throw awayGrin

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 24/10/2020 14:17

A small, sad looking stuffed mouse, that the cat was playing with last night. I should throw it away because it is so manky, but it’s years old, and her favourite. Last weekend DP laughed at me because I stitched it up and crocheted it a new tail.

AllDayHappyHour · 24/10/2020 14:20

Christmas tree in the hall

It got delivered and haven’t moved it yet. The queen of ‘where it lays it stays’ Grin

Kokosrieksts · 24/10/2020 14:33

In the kitchen - tennis ball tube on the floor, winter hat on the windowsill and a pack of cotton wool waiting to be taken upstairs.
