Chokin ware;I've been collecting it for over 30 years, and must have over 200 pieces. Every time I go to a car boot or charity shop I'm on the lookout for it.www.google.com/search?source=univ&tbm=isch&q=japanese+chokin+ware&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjVj_GfuIXuAhWcQkEAHTLpBaYQjJkEegQIBBAB

Books
Penknives
Mugs. I don't buy them, I get given them as presents. Over the last few years I've been given lots with cheers messages on. I accept I might be hard to buy for but I'm worried that my friends and colleagues can't attribute anything to me other than "miserable fucker who drinks a lot of tea".

Daffodils. I always go berserk with the bulb catalogues, like a child in a sweetie shop. Then every autumn the boxes arrive and I find myself digging hundreds of little holes, usually in inclement weather and always cursing myself.

Then spring happens, and it’s an absolute joy, and I win trophies at the horticultural show.

And I go berserk with the bulb catalogues again.

Christmas decorations, I have every colour and theme you can think of, boxes of them, also garlands, wreaths and three Chrismas trees in the loft! One green, one flocked and one white one, DH tears his hair out when he goes up there!

Mugs and bras

Craft supplies - I am an artist but still!

Plastic containers not helped by all the pandemic Deliveroo!

Stick on nails - buy a good glue and even cheap primark nails are great. But stopped wearing them in March to help with hand hygiene.

Clothes - maybe it's just because right now I only wear jumpers, bug socks and leggings or joggers. My wardrobe just feels full of clothes I don't use.

@WhereverIGoddamnLike which board games are your favourite? Do you play often?

Shesellsseashellsontheseashore · 05/01/2021 18:43

Mugs, shoes, boots, sandals, watches.

@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.

Just wanted to say I think you're amazing 🥰

Skin care stuff. Draws full of the stuff.

@HappyPumpkin81

Is no one admitting to owning too much toilet paper?!
Well I get a delivery from who gives a crap of 48 at a time so I do have loads at the moment. But I do use it all eventually and it runs down to a pack worth of rolls. But I'll admit to it guilt free!
WingBingo · 05/01/2021 18:45

Coats.
Bras, and like a pp, I only wear 10% of them.
Cookbooks. About 30 I think.

NancyPickford · 05/01/2021 18:46

Lipsticks - 50+ at last count. I'll never use them all up.

Bras - 30, all different sizes that I'll never be again, but they're soooo pretty!

Notebooks, pens and other stationery. Could open a branch of WH Smith.
