Not wanting to piss on your parade here as it’s a funny little game to play in a sense. But as someone who has once been evacuated from their home…I find this triggering is all. Just wanting you to keep that in mind.

10 of the 12 banana muffins I just baked to use up some sad looking overripe bananas!

Four tiny jumpers, novelty Christmas glasses and a copy of On the Way Home by Jill Murphy.

At least the kids would be warm and enetertained.

My mum.

Kindle, tissues, paracetamol, water, pair of glasses, Rennie's and, randomly, some Turkish lira. Not been to Turkey in over a decade, so unsure where that's come from.

What’s on my bedside table which is collagen face mask, gift receipt, green tea, paracetamol and various other crap.

Why do you start with the word “respectfully” like it negates you from being closed minded or something? Some things are triggering, the title is not something I can avoid really!

mamaduckbone · 01/01/2026 13:53

A book, a cushion and the Christmas tree. Probably not ideal.

BoredZelda · 01/01/2026 13:54

A crate with all the crap from my home office, waiting to be put away. Two carrier bags, a fly zapper, a massager, nail clippers, hand cream and a box of Black Magic chocolates.
