Face masks, bought a load but now I'm finding free ones in the street, supermarket carparks, they're just everywhere.

Well I wasted a few quid buying them then didn't I? Sad.

Shoes
Handbags
Makeup
I live in tracksuit bottoms and hoodies, so rarely wear shoes and only wear makeup on nights out...so about 4 times this year!
But shopping me is a different person to real life me and seems to have a lot of use for heels and bags...

Omg how could I forget Christmas ornaments! I have two trees up each year but enough for about three more. And I could open a gift wrapping shop and not need to buy any supplies, ever.

FlamedToACrisp · 05/01/2021 22:03

Definitely books. We have about 2,500 at present - and I got another 19 for Christmas.

I do read them, though!

And wanted to wear both like a toddler

Knitting wool. The really good stuff. It's outrageous and I should be ashamed of myself. But I'm not!

I have a basket where all socks go. Every now and then I pair them up and dish them out. Last week I only had one lone sock Shock. I'm not sure that has ever happened. I wear odd socks. Some socks I get attached to and wine one wore out I couldn't bring myself to throw it out. I wore it with an odd one and the world kept turning.. DS has socks with sweets on and he wears odd ones too when the other one has worn out.

Gloves.
I own more gloves than shoes. I wear gloves almost all year round, like to have a pair in every coat pocket, plus spares in the cupboard, mittens if its really cold, waterproof ones for cycling, wetsuit style for outdoor swimming, fingerless for summer cycling.
