I have included a box of OXO as I don't have a jar of Marmite to show
Am I the only person in here whose kitchen worktops are covered in Things, or does everyone else tidy their kitchens before the photo-shoot?
I have lots of things on my kitchen worktops. Things such as a kettle, tea/coffee jars, bread bin, breadboard, microwave and the like. Currently I have a large bowl full of chopped up stale bread as part of the process to make some bread pudding.

Nope mine has kettle, microwave, breadmaker, fruit bowl, etc but they are not on that bit of the worktop. Kitchen is a bit tidier than usual as the ugh-laws are coming on Friday but generally the kitchen is more or less like that and it hasn't had a special cleanup for the photo.

Recent postings have had scarily clean kitchens. I used Other Peoples kitchens to show off my bike, as I couldn't face cleaning mine <shudders>. Eventually moved just to get away from it.

The microwave is just to the left of that pic the kettle is behind me and the breadmaker is behind me and to my left the phobile moans are in wee caddy things in the lounge the food proccesor whik thing is in the cupboard behind the front wheel the assorted tat is in the drawere above the cupboard behind the front wheel you can see the mugs we don't have a toaster (we use the grill if we ever have to toast bread)and we use margarine (well butter substitute stuff) not butter which we keep in the fridge

I wish my kitchen was as tidy as yours, Helen :-(
Maybe I'd get round to finishing the tiling if I didn't have to move so much first.

When I went to the kitchen, I realised I'd not listed the crumpets, plum compote, apple pie, radio, spice rack etc...

A spice rack, you obviously do some cooking in your kitchen, whereas we (mainly)use it for heating stuff up. Think the most esoteric stuff the wife has ever made is spaghetti bolognese. I do the cooking (as opposed to the heating up tins, putting frozen stuff in the oven etc). Oh and photoing a bike (spot me desperately trying to drag the thread back)

Why does nobody else have piles of used plates and cutlery....? And the pots of paint and sanding paper and brushes on the corner of one worktop that are waiting for me to either finish painting the hallway or put them back in the garage.

Because they leave them by the TV! ;-)

That's very kind of you but it's a long way to travel from Dundee just to paint our hallway and put the paint pots and brushes back in the garage ;-)
