Thank you for all the lovely comments Flowers. We have only been fostering for a short time but we are still in touch with the children and babies we have moved on to their forever homes and hope to still see them in the years to come Smile

Teapots, cups and saucers, mugs, recipe books.

Comfy clothing. Pyjamas, joggers, loungewear. They’ve served me well in lockdown though. 🤣

Dog coats.

Face masks.

Cutlery, even though we got rid of a lot. There's a whole dresser drawer full of DP's horrible old family heirloom stuff.

Seeds. As in plants. Well over 200 varieties/species. I sowed loads last year and still didn't manage to get them all in and I'm still buying for this year. I'm a total plant geek and can't resist when I see seeds of a plant that I must have Blush We only have a little garden!

RandomUsernameHere · 06/01/2021 19:41

Running clothes and trainers

Mugs (not because I buy them, they are mainly freebies or gifts and they just accumulate)!

NeedCoffeeToSurvive · 06/01/2021 20:12

Reusable water bottles, I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with them although they have helped with my attempt to drink more water.

Also shopping bags, not only do I have an insane amount of bags for life but also the non reusable ones, we recently moved house and I used them to wrap all the fragile kitchen items, ornaments, plates...etc then binned them after unpacking, even after that we still have an obscene amount!

YouFellAsleep · 06/01/2021 20:26

Zoflora - obsessed!

Love a new fragrance, my DD sends me pictures if she finds a new flavour Smile

Onefootoutthedoor · 06/01/2021 21:11

Musical instruments.

I have 2 classical guitars, an acoustic bass, an electro acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, 3 electric bass guitars, a piano, a viola, 2 clarinets, a flute, 3 ukuleles, 3 penny whistles, some percussion and an assortment of lovely wooden recorders.

I don't need all of them.

Scarves - because they always fit!
Handbags - ditto

1 acoustic which belongs to someone else which DH has re-strung for them
1 mandolin
2 keyboards

1 set bongos
1 harmonica
Various small percussion bits
1 PA system
2 mixing desks

Racks of electric boxes

Several mikes
Umpteen mike & guitar stands
A large suitcase-ful of leads
About 15 carrier bags full of sheet music, books etc

Only a few bits are mine. There are currently five guitars in our bedroom, and I don't want them there. I have tasked DH with clearing out the spare room later - that will be fun. Grin
