A Christmas tree.
Useful!

My medication, a phone charger, my purse and handbag, a Nintendo Switch, some Biscoff, a springy facial epilator thing, my glasses and the TV remote.

Not too bad at all LOL.

A fucking massive wad of used wrapping paper and a king size duvet

You only just opened your Christmas presents?

My daughter!

A Minecraft mug and a nearly empty box of quality street, with only the ones I don’t like left.

Roughly 160 books, half a cup of tea, and the central heating programmer. I may leave that behind.

An adult sized gorilla costume 🤣

Full bottle of nice red wine, my cat and the crossword I haven't finished. I'll be fine

Lifejigsaw · 01/01/2026 18:19

Three cushions, my handbag, my laptop and charger. Not bad!

My dog Rosie, and a cushion.

A cup of hot water, an empty takeaway box, a candle and a speaker. Chopsticks.

MostlyGhostly · 01/01/2026 18:34

A quarter full tub of quality street, an almost full box of Belgian chocolate truffles, half a bottle of Shiraz and a half full glass of it. I’m not leaving without the dog though, who is to my right and too big to fit in a bag. Will you turn a blind eye if I give you a few of the leftover quality streets I don’t like?

Manzana · 01/01/2026 18:40

my glasses (phew) a heated blanket, a cactus, and a pot of sea glass

TheKateColumbo · 01/01/2026 18:46

Two hats and a pair of gloves (DH’s)
solitary breadstick in a glass,
a pen
a water bottle (DH again)
about 2/3 of a tube of Pringles- sour cream and onion,
a phone charger,
a swimming hat,
a bag for life,
and my ‘going out handbag’ containing one debit card, a lip gloss and some disposable hand warmers.

Let me guess - the tabby cat is sleeping on the notepad, not the cushion, isn't it?

How did you guess?!

The dog
