People and pets don't count

Spoilsport.

# useful

Many things. Toilet duck, three bathrooms, a hatstand, Henry the hoover, kitchen utensils, the wiggly pony shelves, you name it.

# beautiful

Two Venetian-style carnival masks; ivory-coloured jacquard bedlinen; wood furniture; (currently) cleanliness. Clothes that are too small for me but too nice to fling and are being kept while I slim down. A lot of silverfish too.

# both

The wood furniture, the bedlinen (I like to buy beautiful utility items, it appeals to my sense of elegance in the geek sense of the word). Temerity, who is a mirror; and the stone faces if you count breaking up vast blank expanses of wall as useful.

# neither

The unattached bike-light bracket sitting on the bookshelves in the lounge; assorted creepy-crawlies; the landlord's naff surplus crockery; lots of old clothes I should sling out.

Goodness, that's two people who have mentioned mirrors with names. Never occurred to me before to name a mirror, and now two come along at once.

(What's even more worrying is that I've gone out with both those people ;-)

I didn't name Temerity, he came with the name - ask mobbsy :)
