Now for vases.
Vases? Vases are useful. you can put flower in them. Or the ashes if you already have a patio.
Now for candles....
Now for candles....
Please Gods no.
House plants.
****ing Houseplants
Everywhere
What about beakers?
Why do people have curtains, sometimes "heat proof-eco-reflect-o-therm" lined, that cover the radiators when drawn?
Why?
What possible reason except a punch-kick combo of stupidity and vanity?
WHY?
We have just the one vase!
But loads of bike bits everywhere...
I threw out Mr TW's vase because I got fed up of all his clutter. Now using a 1ltr water bottle as an emergency vase.

Sounds minging.
Very good 🙂
I married a rational (most of the time) physicist, so none of that fluffy stuff around here....
Surely, the reason that women have vases is so that you can buy them flowers?
You'll never get her to throw all those cushions on the floor or light any of those candles if you don't get the basics right.
Why are lilies always included in bouquets? They absolutely stink so bad that I chuck them in the bin. They need to be left growing outdoors!
*phones florist to change order for vickypeas bouquet* 😉
Cushions and spare pillows that we don't use on our bed, which have to be evicted and replaced daily.
Two cats at the far end, usually carefully positioned on a folded blanket.
Several more pillows and cushions on the guest bed.
Cushions on every chair and sofa in the living room.
A giant cushion leaning on the wall.
Big, heavy and new curtains over the radiators in the living room, perfectly positioned to channel all of the heat straight to the glass and not the room.
I think that's a full set. Do I get a prize..?

You need perchy to send you Asiatic lilies they have no smell
...I think that's a full set
Depends - can you see a shelf/cabinet full of Lladró or other china geegaws?
We have cereal tubs to put cereal in (even though it comes in boxes)
We have a hot chocolate tin for putting hot chocolate in (even though it is delivered in a can/tin thing)
We have a pasta jar for putting pasta in (even though it comes in bags)
We a dishwasher tablet tin for putting them in, even though they are already in a box.
And so on.....
More bikes than cushions in our house. I do have a couple of vases and love a bunch of flowers.

I've previously asked the [s]princesses[/s] women that get sent flowers at work to remove the lilies as the smell gives me a bad headache.
My Wife is going to be mad soon.
I need to move the table my turntable is sat on. I only need to move it 2 feet to get it away from a speaker as I'm getting feedback and very annoying hum. It will mean the room won't quite look 'right'.
I'm waiting for the right moment to do this as I know she's going to have a flipper!
😀
If you move the table 1 foot one way and the speaker 1 foot the other way will that meet with the Feng Shui requirements?

We have cereal tubs to keep cereal fresh. How this is supposed to work I've no idea, given that they're always perpetually empty whilst the half-full cereal boxes sit on top of the cupboard.
Cushions on the bed, two of which match the curtains. Check.
Cushions on guest bed and 2 foot throw. Check.
More candles than a Catholic Church. Check.
Fairy lights all year around. Check.
But what really does my head in are the fresh lilies that drop their stamen on the floor and the fact that I didn't even know what a lily stamen was until I got married!!!

Sex education in this country is terrible.

We won't judge you - there's no stigma attached.

Dafuq???
I should think myself lucky that I might have loads of vases around the house but I also have zero pot plants and absolutely no Lladro figurines or other associated trinkets. I thought I'd avoid the candle count as I really don't have enough hours in the day. I'm with you all on the stinking lillies though, and so fortunately is Mrs Squad. They go straight into the garden.

I have cushions, candles and vases (with flowers in) and my girlfriend doesn't even live here yet!
Run. Run away now.
Unless you put them there yourself, in which case you win the prize for being the world's most thoughtful caring boyfriend.
All my own doing I'm afraid. I know, I know, I'm a disgrace to men everywhere (but my home is very homely 😉 )
I have just found out that the runner/throw thing that goes across the bottom of the bed actually has a purpose. Apparently it is to stop you marking the bed linen with your shoes if you lay on top of the covers with your shoes on.
So off you go chaps, preferably straight after a muddy ride, crash out on the bed with your manky 510's on and don't worry about the linen because the runner will be serving its true purpose.
Don't forget to report back on your experiences.

I Sepal what you did there.
Mr Pea is always lolling on our bed with dirty work boots on! I think I'm pretty tolerant
Or pretty kinky?
Shoes off by the front door please. I have cream carpets dontchaknow.

I need a blanket over the bottom of the bed to catch all the cat hairs from my 2 BSH cats. Without it the duvet cover just looks filthy really quickly, but it is just cat hair.
Does your wife ever ask you how many bikes you have?
So don't complain about her cushion purchases.
Bearnesscessites - you've made a soft furnishing faux pas, never match the curtain fabric with the cushion covers. 😉
I'm a professionally cushion maker and not allowed them on the bed 😥
I have cushions in my front room, which are probably just there to look nice (they're from my childhood home and have sentimental value), but cushions on beds which get in the way of sleeping......?
Harmless enough I guess. 🙂

NBT's non-appearance in the thread had been noted! A wise and perspicacious chap.
