You must have an enormous house to have 7 sofas @twobrews**

@LadyEloise by no means enormous. Two of my DC have them in their bedrooms which bumps up the figure!

Doodallysally · 05/01/2021 23:17

Tupperware, running trainers, jackets, random cables and chargers.

And recently, wine.

ivfbabymomma1 · 05/01/2021 23:19

KilljoysDutch · 05/01/2021 23:21

Oh god I forgot the unreal amount of unused notebooks and sketchbooks too! I took up bookbinding recently and have made about 12 more.

planningaheadtoday · 05/01/2021 23:23

Fabric, a whole room of fabric. And dress patterns! I think I enjoy buying more than making.

NotMeNoNo · 05/01/2021 23:27

Craft supplies, fabric, yarn, patterns, equipment.

AgeLikeWine · 05/01/2021 23:32

Loo roll. I’ve still got a garage full of the bloody stuff, left over from the first lockdown. Wink

ButterflyBitch · 05/01/2021 23:40

Notebooks, pens and list pad style things. Also for someone who rarely wears make up I have quite a lot cos I love it. Just can’t be arsed every day. Also dresses. My resolution is to wear more dresses. I have so many and I barely wear them. Need to be braver.

ButterflyBitch · 05/01/2021 23:42

I’d say books as have a huge number but quite frankly there is no number of books that is “ridiculous” as any number is completely acceptable. Obviously. Grin

@bloodywhitecat

Nappies!

I am a foster mum who specialises in withdrawing babies and babies with complex medical needs so I have a cupboard full of nappies in every size.

Aww you sound amazing. I'd love to foster

It's a bit weird but i have hundreds of empty crisp packets, each folded and tied in a knot. I keep them in a massive jar and I'm still adding to it.
My dad loves cheese and onion crisps. Whenever he comes to my house her always brings a packet of cheese and onion crisps with him. When he finishes them he folds up the packet, ties it in a knot and leaves it on the side because he's a scruffy bugger. I always pick them up to add to the jar and they're all aldi's own brand, snackrite cheese and onion. He doesn't know that I've been keeping them all.

spidermomma · 06/01/2021 00:09

@bloodywhitecat well your amazing for doing this, my grandma was a foster parent and my dad (her real son) is still in contact with most people she fostered, crazy we can be out in town and we see lots of people she fostered who will all stop and chat, Truly amazing Daffodil

My hoard is odd socks. I have a Higgs draw full, don't have a clue how this happens though!!!!
