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!

Hairbrush on the coffee table and straighteners on top of a radiator both in the sitting room
But I'm babysitting GS and DD was in a rush to get out for her Birthday meal with friends

BlackeyedSusan · 24/10/2020 18:59

it would be quicker to list what is in place.

SourMilkGhyll · 24/10/2020 19:02

A dog.
2 cats.
1 jigsaw.
3 balloons.
1 rucksack.

Not too bad really, or at least better than I was expecting.

Absolutely nothing 😇
I’m lying on my bed in the sanctuary of my bedroom!!

Living room.... huge three sided piece of heavy metal that makes our open fire smaller🤔
Husband has decided that he wants the fire dog full width now so the very heavy item was lifted out but only made it about 3 ft across the room.
Too heavy for me so it will be there until it is decided that the fire uses too many logs when full size and it has to go back🤐

I'm in the dining room. My big straw sunhat is on the table. At the end of October.

HeronLanyon · 24/10/2020 19:11

Bedroom - suitcase with summer clothes swim diving stuff. It is sitting i. The middle of the floor. In moment of enthusiasm for clearing stuff I sorted through it chucked and recycled some stuff but didn’t get around to putting it away.
Actually it’s kind of nice sitting there as though I’m packing for some exotic escape.

Living room: my husbands work boots. I'm trying to wait him out on moving them without telling him to do so. I think I'm going to lose this silent battle.

Spudlet · 24/10/2020 19:14

If I craned my neck Exorcist style, I would see a clothes horse with my bras drying on it. We have the fire lit, so this is the best room to have them in. However, out of sight, out of mind!

TheBitchOfTheVicar · 24/10/2020 19:17

A small, metal, pig-shaped piggy bank on the side table next to my glass of wine. DD has emptied it of silver coins to pay for a few Robux.

SantanaBinLorry · 24/10/2020 19:19

@WhySoSensitive

Glittery branches and a seal from last Christmas. Apparently its bad luck if decorations are still up after 6th January so then you have to leave them up all year.

FindMeInTheSunshine · 24/10/2020 19:33

Sitting room, a teetering tower of a dozen cushions from the garden sofa that are as high as the door, waiting to go in the loft. And a can of WD40 on the mantle shelf.

PattyPan · 24/10/2020 19:34

Well, I’m at the dining table having just finished dinner. Just looking in front of me at the table there’s a mask, headphones, an alarm clock, clean saucepan, stack of DVDs, empty bread bag, blank greetings card, cardboard packaging, pen, receipt, candle lid, phone bill! Then on the floor there’s a load of DIY and garden junk, we’re meant to be getting a new shed... off to tell DP to stop putting crap everywhere!

Ffsnosexallowed · 24/10/2020 19:35

Silly string on a record player

In the lounge. There are a pair of school socks on the coffee table since yesterday.

Obviously they are there because I haven't moved them.

BikeRunSki · 24/10/2020 19:48

Kitchen. Running shoes under the table. There were there yesterday, annoying me, so I put them away. The I went for a run this evening and left them there again!

Coronacockup · 24/10/2020 20:01

Lounge, my husband he should be making me a cup of tea! Grin

Abelard40 · 24/10/2020 20:47

Last year’s Christmas angel on the picture rail, where it’s been for a year after forgetting it last year..

happinessischocolate · 24/10/2020 20:53

A cross trainer with the levers/handles removed, in between the sofa and the dining table, it's only been there a year or so 😁

seriouslynonames · 24/10/2020 20:57

DD's knickers on the kitchen floor (she's 5...). They only got deposited there this evening when she got her PJs on I hasten to add!

ChristmasinJune · 24/10/2020 21:05

Three tins of baked beans lined up neatly on my bedside table. I can't even remember how they got there now.... vague memory of panicking over harvest festival contributions first thing in the morning.

Witchend · 24/10/2020 21:41

A child sized shop mannequin.

What is a radiator airer doing on the dining table?
