    I used to have a large, wide, flat china fruitbowl in the middle of mine but it was regularly filled with 'stuff'.......

    Oh yes, I remember now. :rotfl:

    Well apart from the earlier sensible suggestions, you lot are no help whatsoever. :rotfl: I hope there's some poshies in amongst the evening crew who have slightly more upmarket tables than you lot with your motorbike helmets and rotting apples. :D

    A lot of rubbish, a fruit bowl with random sweets in it and a beret on the top, punnet of apricots that look past their best, a juice bottle, bills, a screwdriver? a paint set and a set of russian dolls lol.

    i try and clear the table but it just gets cluttered up again.

    A succulent plant in a square "brick" pot (unusual and I love it) and a nice pair of salt & pepper pots - even though we never use them!
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    A beautiful Waterford crystal bowl (it was a gift) which has dried ball-type things in it. Looks nicer than it sounds, honestly!
