My gorgeous little kitten and the new Richard Osman book. I don't think we'd achieve much with this bag! 😁

A lamp, the cat’s water bowl, Roget’s Thesaurus.

More like a quarter of a tube of Pringles now.

I’m golden. I’m packing for a flight in a few days so I’ve got power banks, bags, snacks, toiletries and more snacks.

Oh and a giant bag of tea bags.

As I said, golden.

Two pairs of fluffy bed socks that I got for Christmas

My book (never far away, list of things to do/paperwork to sort and five clementines.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 01/01/2026 14:18

A nine foot high Monstera Deliciosa, a three foot high and three foot wide Sanseviera that started as a two leaf Christmas gift about 5 years ago and an LED grow light that really shows I'm a sucker for punishment (or really, really like living in a jungle whilst watching the football).

It's clearly a larger overnight bag than I've ever had before.

Probably best stay off the internet, if that’s the case.

quite, I have a huge and I know totally irrational fear of 8 legged crawly things… I don’t open a thread with a title of “What the hell is this creepy crawly?”…. 😨😨

A well stocked drinks cabinet including champagne flutes and martini glasses, but no mixers. Also a disco ball. Can I pair up with someone who has a few bottles of lemonade or tonic water? Or even an ice machine?
