Room 101

[MintMe]

Me and DH had a good (tipsy) rage chat last night about things we'd put into Room 101 and, as I'm up early with the child, I thought I'd open it up to the floor.

Ours are:

• Third exits on a roundabout
• Encores at gigs
• The typeface Comic Sans
• Mr Tumble
• Cold Shoulder tops

I can't remember the rest. Maybe I was tipsier than I thought!

The snooze button! Why wake up repeatedly every 8 minutes? It's bad though waking up once

Mass produced 'art' - whether it's printed canvasses with glitter or sequins, or canvas or 'sculptured' 'Live Laugh Love', 'In this house we...', messages, golden Buddhas with or without tealight holders, glass tealight holders, candle plates with glittery messages, self adhesive wall stickers, jokey messages with gin, prosecco, tequila, beer or vodka somewhere, unicorns, fake vintage signs, fake plants (rubbery cacti are 'in'), signs telling you where you are and what to do (Bathroom. Get Naked. Wash. Shower. Bathe) or this year's ornaments - one year it's elephants, next it's giraffes and so on.

There's enough clutter in people's houses without adding to it.

You want something decorative? Frame a photo. Make something yourself.

Wasps. Evil little wankers.

I was going to refrain from adding people but i just can’t help myself -

Unless there’s a third exit, you don’t usually need a roundabout.
