Bedside Table

Mine - a letter from the hospital telling me to ring them before 1.30pm - which i have done its just its still there for safe keeping! A packet of tissues because i've just chucked the box away, an ashtray, a litre bottle of water half full, receipts from tesco which ive just rooted out my jeans pocket, a pen, a book, and when i go to bed my fags, a lighter, mobile phone and glasses.

My alarm clock is on my bookshelf on the other side of my bedroom - simple reason i have to get up then to turn it off otherwise i'd never get out of my bed!

A question though for you - have you noticed the smokers all have a packet of fags, ashtray and lighter on their bedside cabinet/table? How many times have we been told not to smoke in bed!
 
Just lucky I guess. I was in the right place at the right time katex.

Sadly I’ve never had a power failure at night so the lamp’s true purpose has never been used. And now the re-chargeable batteries have reached the end of their life and don’t charge up, so the lamp doesn’t have a ‘real’ purpose any more. It still makes a good bedside lamp though.

I really must galvanise myself and see about repairing it.
 
You could have one at the top of the stairs or designed as a wall light and flex like ikea do their wall lights. I think all stairs should have an emergency light especially if people have a stair lift. Imagine a power cut when on their own late at night and they're stuck halfway up the stairs. Actually thinking about it the stair lift should have a light built in.
 
Mobile phone,layer of dust,8 old Viz comics,an empty wineglass,a clock that is way too loud and a tubigrip.The "other " side as used by the fella has a lamp,an empty wineglass,an aerosol of Arrid XXX and a pile of nonsense books like Midge Ure's autobiography! Torrid stuff eh readers? I do however have a naughty drawer that is somewhat more exciting!:D

Well, Lindsay....don't tell us you have a naughty drawer and then not tell us what you have in it!........let me guess, a whip....oh yeah and the nice wooden top that goes with it....some chalk to put pretty patterns on the top.......breath mints in case you should fancy to kiss someone and not have been up to clean your teeth (no-one wants to be kissed with 'zackly' breath)........and my guesses run out there.

How strange! you take them out at night? :eek: I have had mine of twenty four years and they have never seen my bedside table, bottom of the bowl a few times, maybe :D other than that they stay put until cleaning. :o

Forget the table-top, what about the bedside drawer? I had a look in mine (the top one that doesn't contain underwear etc.) and making an inventory is a bit embarrassing. :(

My prescription medications
5 tubes and 2 pots of face creams
Nail file
Foot file
Packet of corn plasters
2 tubes of Ibulieve, half full, 1 without a lid
Receipt for vet's bill, dated 2003
Optician's prescription from 1999
A to Z of Merseyside, 25 years old
Spare light-bulb for wall lights
3 large torch batteries
2 pencils
Horrible orange-coloured nail polish (now solid)
2 unidentified yale keys
4 safety pins (1 rusty)
Assortment of little coloured plastic rings for electric toothbrush
Small Stanley knife (?)
3 brass screws
Photograph of long-deceased rabbit in garden (out of focus)

I really must get round to sorting it all out. :D
