Nowt as its a sash window with no sill

Washing up liquid, handwash, handcream (not that I ever use it), one pot basil, one pot parsley (which will probably sit there unused until brown at which point I will compost them), half of my collection of shot glasses.

One sad looking spider plant that I forget to water and the key to the window. Nothing else. I HATE flutters and clutter. Although I do have a stupid window which is very high up. I cant actually see out of it. The ledge is chin height and im 5ft 4.

plants never grow there apart from a cactus i have and a weird purple plant that keeps growing like an octopus

ComeOVeneer · 27/06/2008 21:30

Potted herbs (basil, mint, thyme, chives, corriander, 2 types of parsley and a chilli plant).

Washing up liquid
Spray Cleaner
2 Vases
little pots of herb seeds just planted:
Dill, Mint, Chives, Parsley, Coriander, and a mystery one (think basil but packet wasn't labelled)
Garlic & Chillies in a bowl
Alessi Sugar Jar
Phillipe Stark lemon Squeezer - weirdy rocket shaped one purchased by poncey ex boyfriend many moons ago

It sounds OK but just looks like a load of clutter

One clean milk bottle and a basil plant in a nice pot. Minimalist, me!

yomellamoHelly · 27/06/2008 21:42

Glass of pens and a plant.
Is still clear from my shaming moment last week.
Mumsnet is so good for little things like this!
Turned my attention to the dining table last night - now that was scary to sort out!

Three pots of herbs in White Stuff pots on the left. Two turquoise glass vases on the right.

The cats food bowl. Not very hygenic [is that spelt correctly?], but we clean it every day

Grime, two plants that look like they're dead but they're not, empty wine bottles (hic), soap, Fairy liquid, a manky empty vase, a door handle, dead flies and did I mention grime? And yep, it looks as bad as it sounds.

toomuchmonthatendofthemoney · 28/06/2008 01:02

sunglasses, reading glasses, keys, bracelet (removed for washing up and never reclaimed), elastic bands and a bit of black plastic which i think came from one of DH's many gadgets/remote controls and i keep nagging him to remove it/use it or it'll get binned, he has been warned.....

I've got a painted pot with 4 mini cacti, a budliea [sp!] cutting that's supposed to be rooting and a glass jar of comfrey cream.
