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!
