Eggs - in a bowl on counter
Fruit - in a bowl on table
Butter - in the fridge
House/car keys - 😂 literally they live in the car, we live on a farm in a remote area, I never lock the car or the house if we’re home (though we do have a lot of security lights and very obvious cctv), never in all these years has anything been stolen and I’m too lazy to change now.
Hoover - it’s usually in the middle of the bloody hall where I will trip over it

Butter in butter dish on top of the radio (it's on all day for the cat and keeps it at a perfect spreading temperature in winter)
Car keys bowl or pocket
Hoover under stairs cupboard
Ironing board covered in dust in laundry (I don't iron)

DonningMyHardHat · 27/01/2025 22:07

Eggs - in a chicken shaped bowl on a shelf. (The only place they should be)
Fruit - fruit bowl, except for grapes which should be cold so live in the fridge.
Butter - on the side. I can’t stand butter that won’t spread and DS won’t eat his toast if his butter is at all visibly un-melted.
House/car keys - in the old fashioned (and thus wholly impractical) weighing scales.
Hoover - Hetty lives under the stairs. The little handheld hoover lives under the fish tank.

Eggs. In a china chicken (like on BREAD) most of the year. In the fridge when it's over 25 degrees C

Fruit. Rarely buy it, but when I do, I put it in a fruit bowl.

Butter. Always in a butter dish. You can't spread it otherwise! (I do put it in the fridge when it's above 25 C though.)

House/car keys. On the key rack in the built-in hall cupboard.

Hoover. Also in the built-in hall cupboard (with the ironing board, shoes, iron, wellies, coats, towels, bedsheets, and all sorts.)

Butter - in a dish in the cupboard, can't leave it out on the side because the cats knock the lid off and make merry with it.

I can't be doing with unspreadable butter.
