Does anyone else's coffee table look like this....

[SaraJH]

waffling due to too few characters in post

What's wrong with that?
That's perfectly too tidy .
Add two trays of tomatoes , some basil, chillis , Borlotti beans, some courgettes, squash plants ,a tape measure ?OHs , empty maltesers pkt, a diary, pen , newspaper , dog chew, handcream, tool catalogue ...then maybe ..

[SaraJH]

Ah, CG that's my kitchen table! No, this coffee table is just my dumping ground for reading matter!

[Containergardener]

Hmm you would panic in this house

[SaraJH]

Hmm you would panic in this house

Perhaps! I am a little (well a lot) OCD, all my tins in the cupboard face forward, towels must be stacked neatly and towels hung over rails need to be straight. I drive my friends mad, when I go to their houses I'm constantly straightening things up, oops.

Blimey, I sound like a right weirdo lol

What you can't see in that photo is the thick layer of dust on the table!

[Containergardener]

As I said .. You would panic here and WOULD NOT be allowed to OCD anything. We run a business (not a clean and tidy one) the house gets full of parts, dust, dirt, dog....

Relax

I don't know what you mean...

(The Harrison book in your picture is in my bathroom... )

[SaraJH]

Love it 1Bee, actually I think that the bathroom is the perfect place for the Harrison book

It's my fave and great to dip into when you have a few minutes

I wish I had a coffee table.

[Snoop Puss]

Me, I just have coffee!

[Mrs Bee]

Mine is similar but in neat tidy piles. And there are tall piles of cookery books on there with a sausage making book, a smoking and curing book and a cheese making book along with my to do today book.

I must have a bit of OCD as well because I would have to put all those books on a shelf and there would be no books in the bathroom.

[SusieG]

Haha . Snap! SaraJH - same mags, same books ~~~ methinks there's more dust on my small table though ...!!!

Apart from the 3 pairs of earrings and 2 necklaces, a coffee mug, 10 packets of seeds, laptop, tape measure, pens, notebook and lots and lots of paperwork. Said paperwork because I have to redo 6 months accounts that I failed to back up and need them for a tax return.

Shelf underneath has a jigsaw, my photo albums, several Grow Your Own mags, ditto Dollshouse mags, gardening and cookery books and the TV mag for this week. Oh, and a cello tape dispenser.
