Well, is it?

On a side note, what does your desk normally have on it?

My desk is in my room and so it ends up being covered in clothes, books, empty food tubs, plates, novelty hats, dvds and strangely enough; batteries and 1p and 2p coins!

Do you ever make the effort to tidy it? I certainly don't, how would i find anything if it was organised?

My philosophy is, as one man put it:

"A tidy desk is the sign of a disturbed mind"

Wilf

Ive got allsorts of crap on mine, including batteries and 1/2p's LOL :lol:

mines so untidy ive decided on a smaller one that way the mess is easier to tidy up and ive got more room:thumbsup:

I must have a disturbed mind then - nothing out of place on desk in my office at all !

The desktop on my PC is another matter - icons strewn all over the place from installing and trying out new bits of software recently :P

2 computers, 2 monitors, 2 sets of speakers, cable modem, network hub, phone, lamp, scissors, nail clippers, scalpel, plasters, pens, wire cutters, screwdrivers, coins, stapler, superglue, batteries, an old network card, a bag of jelly beans and assorted cds and bits of paper. Bit of a mess then, really.

My desktop at work is tidy because it has to be.

Don't ask what's in the drawers though :o

Hey I think u win :P

We have those alert state signs at work - Black, Black Special, then of course you get Amber and Red, but no-one would probably ever bother putting up a red one since no-one would be around to see it :thumbsup:

I think this is best answered with the question..

"you mean there's a desk under all this cr*p?!! :o"

:thumbsup:

Hehe

I can imagine the 2 ladies on 'How Clean Is Your House ?' saying that :P

I have long since forgotton what the desk looks like!
This puter is not mine, is sister's technically, and is also her desk but it is covered in an accumlation of both our crap and some of my dads stuff....and some of my mums!

My own personal desk is also quite littered I beleive there is a laptop I rarely use underneath all those clothes, make up and other such paraphanalia.

I believe in sharing... and my mess is equally distributed in all areas of the house :thumbsup:

Hi people,
Just a simple question. how tidy is your desk space? I am obsessed with my desk been tidy.

OOps, I forgot to sign out of Bizzy Lizzys account, Its actually me who has posted it

Honda c77 (http://www.honda-wiki.org/wiki/Honda_C77)

I havent got any pictures at the moment but how do I put a link on here for pictures?

I wish I looked like that lass, never mind your desk :D and turning to the subject of my clean and tidy desk if it's ever like that it's only because I'm not around and everything is packed up waiting for my return to restore it to its present disorderly state.

this is mine, apologies for poor photo quality.

EDIT: at uni, new desk, old one is much worse, unless mother dearest has turned my room into a study by now.

I cant answer this survey because there are no suitable options. I'd love to be tidy but just dont have enough storage space, flat surfaces, cupboards or shelves. I reckon all my files would take a load more space than I've got.
