We have 4 remote controls, hand cream, kindle, post it notes, a nearly burned down candle, a cup of tea, a plate of biscuit crumbs, a tub of halloween sweets, dust and dh's feet Hmm

It's always a mess, thus I can't be arsed to dust it!

Tell me what's on yours, or show me. I'd love to see some coffee tables with beautiful and interesting things on them Smile

Two small tables, each with two layers:

H's glasses (unfolded - he won't be told), remote, Aldi Christmas food booklet, Children of Dune, piece of paper with some measurements scrawled on it, instructions leaflet for the new kettle, CAMRA's quarterly, Joe Brown's catalogue, pencil, screen cloth in a packet - and while I've been writing, S2's feet and an apple core (he's just got home).

Water bottle, 3 remotes, ramekin with Pineapple and small selection of DCs Toy Cars !

TV listings magazine
Six assorted coasters (only two of us living here)
Dog chews (self-service, so he can help himself when peckish)
Remote control
And dust, lots of dust.

lucysmam · 11/11/2020 14:16

Laptop, school book, assorted pens & pencils, earphones (that should probably be in dd2's ears).

Our bubble at school has a case of c19 so we're home until next Tuesday

BeaMends · 11/11/2020 14:16

Forgot to mention - the fruit bowl (sans bananas) is a brown glazed art pottery bowl with West Germany stamped on the bottom. Got it from a car boot sale a couple of years ago - it's worth quite a bit more than the 50p I paid for it.

mogloveseggs · 11/11/2020 14:16

On top-2 candle lanterns and a bowl of seashells on a tray. A book, 2 coasters and 2 telly zappers.
Underneath- various games, magazines, tin of pens, tin of football cards

AlexisIsMySpiritAnimal · 11/11/2020 14:16

A 10" x 7" framed pic of the DC, phone cradle, 3 coasters and an Avon catalogue.

PenguinsOnParade · 11/11/2020 14:18

A mug that DH left before leaving for work, he can wash it when he gets home

Centrepiece bowl (empty)
Some random books
Slimming World magazine
Tweezers and make up palette left there by teen
A (clean) face mask
My vitamins as I've just taken them and will put them away in the bathroom next time I get up

MaMisled · 11/11/2020 14:19

3 remotes, a ridiculously oversized fruit platter thing, a pretty box full of ugly crop that should be hidden in a drawer, a joke toolroom from last Christmas and cat fluff. Lots of cat fluff.

AnneLovesGilbert · 11/11/2020 14:19

Plastic tea set (in its own case, well posh), some conkers, a stone, two pine cones and a sloth.

MaMisled · 11/11/2020 14:19

Joke toilet roll

Mylittlepony374 · 11/11/2020 14:20

A bag of clean washing that I'm studiously avoiding folding.

NotExactlyMrsCurrentAffairs · 11/11/2020 14:22

Nothing, at the moment, but the DC are at school. When they're home everything will be piled on thereHmm

ShowOfHands · 11/11/2020 14:23

Books (a huge hardback world atlas, history of forgotten steam, Ingpen illustrated Wind in the Willows, collection of WW1 poetry, Sandi Toksvig's autobiography, 4 books about pillboxes), an interesting pebble, an even more interesting stick, incense cone holder, a budgie.

HeddaGarbled · 11/11/2020 14:24

One coaster and today’s newspaper. For some reason all the other things that could reasonably go on the table are on the settee and the windowsill.

TeapotCollection · 11/11/2020 14:25

Some of you must have huge coffee tables!

justaweeone · 11/11/2020 14:37

Hurricane vase with a candle, lip salve, cup of tea, bottle of nail polish, farrow and ball colour chart, tub of Palmers coco butter and a cook book
Really need to get up and do some studying and housework!

ZombieAttack · 11/11/2020 14:38

One candle, tv remotes and a box of tissues. We don’t have a coffee table but I do have a table next to the sofa tucked in the corner. I don’t like clutter on it.

Babyroobs · 11/11/2020 14:43

Three remotes, a dog brush and pile of fur as I've been de-matting the dog as she's overdue for going to the groomers.
