Just a bit of fun...
In detail (what else?), what do you have on your desk - or wherever it is you sit to do your work?
Here goes for me:
* Pot of pens and pencils (seashore design on the pot)
* 'Wine-glass' tealight holder
* Tall carved wooden candle stick with candle, standing on crocheted doily
* Mini teddy bear wearing a jumper with a snowman design
* LED desk lamp
* Phones - landline and mobile (Sony Xperia)
* Photo of mum, aged about 20
* VW Campervan mug of coffee, on a rose-design coaster
* Headphones (JVC)
* Asus 27" monitor
* Microsoft mouse on recycled tyre mouse-mat (from the Alternative Technology Centre in Wales)
* TalkTalk internet router
* HP Envy 5540 all-in-one printer
* 2 memory sticks
* Gas lighter for candles
* Day-glo yellow highlighter pen
* Packet of salmon Dreamies treats for Daisy
* Microsoft keyboard (photo of Daisy on-screen)
* Shadows
...and here it is, minus the mobile - which I needed to take the photo!
Found desk top thread... just a few hours late! Mm what a lot of very tidy people you all are. I blush profusely to say my desk upstairs is much much more untidy than the delightful photo from Spotty Tortoise... If there is a surface anywhere it's usually full of clutter. My dining table has magazines, colouring stuff, electric reel, specs, etc on it, the table in the sitting room and some furniture has other stuff and as for my "office/library/craft room" erm it is stacked in every direction. And the bathroom too. I do more or less know where everything is though. I do have to fight the "if it's out I'll remember to use it" issue. It is worse than unusual because of the plumbing and plastering but it is continually a battle. And I am not as cluttered as I used to be. And the " if it's too tidy I feel uncomfortable " issue. But I am trying really hard not to be so cluttered because the mess and heaps and too much stuff makes it so hard to look after and keep clean and drives me a bit potty but so does tidy and immaculate. I don't think I even dare post a photo. In my office one wall is full of books. One wall has two chests of drawers stacked with further boxes on top all full of craft stuff and another set of shelves with books and stationary. Another wall has an old wash stand with a hand sewing machine on plus clutter. Then my desk is under the window with my stereo and turntable at one end. Then stationary. Then piles of files and admin. My poor laptop is on the floor in the sitting room but I mainly "work" on my phone. I don't think really tidy people would feel at ease! I like radio 4xtra, radio 4 and I do like some radio 6. I used to like iplayer radio so I could choose but object to having to register so cut off my own nose. Hope you're not all horrendously shocked!
Dare you do the big desktop reveal tomorrow...
