Hey don't watch that - watch this - it's the Scouse Sarah's nightmare desk show

Chris Evans | 22:08 UK time, Wednesday, 23 September 2009

desk-240909-600.jpg

Is there a more messy desk than this in Britain?

Sarah is the loveliest, bestest person you could ever hope to work with, she never stops, but she's so busy looking after the rest of us - she is neglecting her own house.

Let's look at that desk one more time !

desk-240909-600.jpg

Here's what I'm going to do. I promise I am going to go into work early tomorrow and help her for once.

There will be photographic evidence to follow - maybe within the day.

    Hells Bells And Heavens To Betsy ..... I swear I will never, ever, ever moan about my desk again ever. Never.

    In fact, I'm a bit funny about my desk. I know if anyone has sat in my chair, used my PC in my absence etc, and woe betide should ANYONE put something on my desk in the wrong place ....... shallow waters indeed!

    And on the subject of desks: who is it that sneaks in and puts all your paperclips in a long paperclip chain so that when you want 1 paperclip you actually get about 2 dozen of the bloomin' things? Eh? Is it YOU?!?!

    And breathe .....

    D'you know what? I thought my kids rooms were in a mess. No hope for any of us then.

    Scouse Sarah must be a varitable genius to produce such a fantastic show from such chaos.

    CLP Make sure you don't tidy all her stuff so she can't find anything. I see a nasty attack of the "well, i put it somewhere safe" coming on.

    Seza xxx

    PS are we meant to be looking to see if the 2nd pic has changed? You know, those games where you look at something for 30seconds then someone takes something away & you have to work out what? I think we could be stuck if we are meant to be memorising everything on the desk. My memorie's not that good!!

    Morning all

    Good lord Christoph, don't think Sarah will be best pleased you've shown the blog peeps the state of her desk. But, yes, that's bad! I'm the exact opposite, always had a tidy desk and god help anyone who interferred in my absence!! Once I spent hours looking for something in my in-tray and finally found out it had been taken by a colleague without telling me, cos 'she was only trying to help' She never did it again!!!!

    Cracking day here today, long may it last. Don't like these dark evenings!

    Debs - sideboard/piano? Is this a piano that doubles as a sideboard, or two separate bits of furniture? And if the former, why don't you play???

    And oh how upset they were when the stationery suppliers stopped doing quills ....

    My desk highlights include funny things emailed to me by certain peeps off this ere blog (post-it note, need I say more ....!?), a tiny berfday cake from someone special, pics of my cat, a Bhudda, a witch and other funky lovely things. And some work sometimes too!

    Chris you should film the tidying of Sarah's nightmare desk and sell it to a TV company! Don’t laugh it’s been done before, like 60 Minute Makeover, with that stupid, talentless girl Claire Sweeney, where they redecorate 4 rooms for a surprised homeowner or resident. Whoopee! Or, How Clean Is Your House with Kim and Aggie, it’s the residence mind that needs the help; from a psychologist! Exactly who watches this trash?

That is why I dont play - I'd have to take it all off and put it on the ironing board.

    Then I couldnt iron, so I'd have to take it all off and put it on the table, then we couldnt eat - so I'd have to put it BACK on the piano - simples!

    TB has been very quiet this week. Is this the effect of having too many ARF's played, spontaneous vanishing from the blog? Not sure what I'm going to choose this week, will have to think again when I've had more cake

    I'm afraid that is a very familiar sight. I don't have a desk as such but I have a dinig room table and, worse, a carboot with all my stuff in. I am a nightmare with my work stuff and Boleynteen2 is exactly the same. If a tidy desk is a tidy mind then I should be sectioned immediately.

    Must try harder.

    Haven't caught up yet, but remember from yesterday:

    Alright Flower, thank you, you inspired me to buy a bag of revels and I played "guess what's in the middle". all by myself. I thought of you when I found the biggest chocolate raisin ever, it was the size of a golf ball, well, a grape.

    Seza, Boleynteen2 had one of those moneyboxes, it used to speak to you when you came into the room. I think it ended up being thrown. Literally.

    Afternoon Peeps,

    An absolute cracking the flagstones day in my bit of Kent - Beautiful and long may it continue, sorry to those where it's not so good I'll send some your way.

    Chris, I have come over all funny looking at that desk and immediately want to tidy it. Unfortunately I am a bit OCD on tidiness and know where everything is and notice immediately if it's out of place (Deev perhaps it's a Leo thing?) In fact I have been known on many an occassion to get up off the sofa and move the curtains a bit as they were not quite hanging to my liking - I know, I know!!! There is a word my friends call me but I am not sure I can put it on here without being moderated! My desk is left tidy every night and I get cross if someone leans on it and leaves a sweaty hand mark - It's OK I'll get my coat ;)

    Well done to all those who have been to the gym or swam a mile or more - most impressed. I did walk to work today and according to my pedometer I have done 7660 steps and walked 3.5 miles!

    Another mad morning at the church, so have now come to this job for a rest.

    No room for being particular about your desk here though . . .the current boss wanders in and out all day long, bring new jobs that he just leaves on whatever surface is nearest, then coming back in to take them back again and moving every other piece of paper in the process of finding them. I was wondering why my piles of work appeared to be moving around until I caught him taking apart a carefully organised mountain of photocopying!

    Deevs - this office is very much like yours, EVERYTHING is printed out and done on paper. I'm a girl who tries to do everything on computer if possible, so am finding the triplicate copies of things that could (at most) be done on one sheet of paper very hard.

    Peter staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Kathleen.

    He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whisky bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.

    Managing not to yell, Peter sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his bum cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Elastoplast and began putting an Elastoplast as best he could on each place he saw blood.

    He then hid the now almost empty Elastoplast box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.

    In the morning, Peter woke up with searing pain in both his head and bum and Kathleen staring at him from across the room.

    She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?"

    Peter said, "Why do you say such a mean thing?"

    "Well," Kathleen said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly ..... it's all those Elastoplast stuck on the hall mirror."

    Just had embarrassing time in ELH, my 3 pounds Vera Lynn CD set off the alarm on my way out. It's for my Y6 "WW2" project, honest, though I do admit I can't hear "We'll meet again" without a little glistening of the eyes.

    Anyhoo I had come through the self serve bit (always a mistake, takes 3 times along, I'd make a plipping useless checkout girl), and although the woman in command dha (sadly) had no second thoughts about authorusing me to buy wine, she hadn't noticed the CD and the machine didn't alert her - a glitch in the system.


    So there I was with the alarms going off, security running after me, and of course I had absent-mindedly scrunched up my bill and thrown it into one of the bins on the way out. They were very gentle with me and believed me, but I felt like such a crim. Imagine my face splashed all over the local press for stealing Vera Lynn's Greatest Hits.

    Evening all, hope this finds you all well out there in Blogland!

    It's Friday in my world, feeling knackered with it too, am curled up on the sofa with a dark choc mars bar, may well move into bed with the laptop on my knees.

    Can't believe the state of me fellow scouser's desk! I am usually a pretty tidy person, don't like clutter (but I don't always practice what I preach) but there's no way I could cope with a desk like that!

    I love to listen to your show and want a request for my birthday but, shock horror, I am in America next weekend when I turn 30!!!!!!

    So please please please could I have the first song request this week to help me get over the trauma of turning 30 on the 3rd October.

    I would love American Boy- Estelle or a bit of Jolene by Dolly Parton.

    So excited about your move to Breakfast

    Hi everyone....AliB you are not alone with the OCD! I cannot bear clutter and if i sat at that desk i would not be able to think straight. Probably reason why i don’t get time to blog on here is because everything in the house has to be just right before i can relax! Bit like authors that have to tidy the whole house before they can settle at the typewriter....typewriter...oooer do people still have those am i showing my age.
    And I’m not a Leo! Other half is though and he is tidy although not obsessive like i am!

    Can’t bear finger marks on my screen and wait ‘til you hear this one as i am a bit of a germ freak as well ..when I use the vending machine in work i have to use my finger knuckle to press the button as I have seen so many people doing things wth fingers and noses and then getting the drinks in...urgh!!!

    Anyway just popped in still reading the blog up to no 85 so still lots to catch up on. But can’t rest as need to get the washing in and fold in a very neat pile ha ha.

    love Loli

    ps Booked hotel in Cotwolds ...thanks Clodagh for your suggestion the dates i wanted were not available at that hotel so have picked another one at the Broadway and Beez i have made a note of the places to visit that you recommended...not the outlaws though ha ha ..still laugh at that one!
