DD and a giant Fuggler. Great! 🙄

My phone, half a cup of tea, the tv remote and ZDog2 who’s fast asleep.

Diamondsbutnoknickers · 01/01/2026 14:29

A bottle of fizzy water and a pile of dirty washing judging me. I'll just take the water.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 01/01/2026 14:29

An empty cracker box, a pair of kitchen scissors, a placemat and a banana skin. Can I PLEASE take the mini cheese plate I've just made for myself which is right in front of me?

A wall 😂😁

Depends how directly to my left you mean. On the arm of the chair to my left are my book (latest Ann Cleeves) with the new bookmark I got for Xmas.

Beyond that on the side table are:
3 empty mugs
An empty glass
A plate with an empty mince pie case on it
3 coasters.
A beconase inhaler
A little portable reading lamp thing that clips on to your book.

I'm not sure I really want all that dirty crockery! 🤣

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

I'm evacuating with you whether you want me to or not. I'll bring my dog's half eaten chew stick that is to the left of me, we can swap😋
