What’s The Weirdest Or Funniest Thing You Have Seen In Someone’s Home?

Some people keep the weirdest things in their home.

I remember when l was little, some family friends had several large glass cases, containing stuffed animals and big fish in their front room.

Can you remember any weird or funny things people kept in their home?

My Aunt who owned a riding stable and a huge house had a full sized stuffed horse in the hall, we used to sit on it as children when visiting.

She also had a billiard table in the breakfast room where we children had tea, I used to put bread rolls in the little nets on the side.

A friend used to have a penny farthing in the guest bedroom.

I was a little taken aback when my bil said his dog was behind the door and as we peered around it saw a taxidermied deer hound. I'm rather fond of my dogs but it's never occurred to me to keep their bodies like that.

Another time in a home I was home checking for a charity we saw something strange on the mantelpiece and as we left it suddenly occurred to me what it was. Not an item I'd keep on public display like that - a very large black vibrator !

Meg, ‘A huge full sized horse in the hallway’? Good grief! That is very unusual but l bet all the young children must’ve loved it!

I didn't but one of our friends tried when he had a New Years eve party. It's really not a good idea to try that when you have had a few drinks!

I was fitting an ensuite for someone and went to look out of the bedroom window. On the way back I spotted several.......ahem! 'toys' by the side of the bed.

Longy, Julie can remember the colour, can you remember the colours? Or was it a quick glance and you ran out in disgust?
