Cups/mugs on the last count a few months ago there were 54

Sgtmajormummy · 05/01/2021 18:51

Fabric, scissors, tape measures, pins, pincushions. I’m a quilter...
Pencils. I buy them as mini souvenirs and they’ll probably see my kids out, never mind me.

At the moment:
Jars of powdered cinnamon.
Anti-limescale products left by the previous owner.

Mugs
Clothes
Jewellery, most of which I never wear.

Beads and high heels. I've got pots and pots of Swarovski beads (frantically making and trying to sell before the crackdown in June) and I scour eBay for cheap designer heels.

@HappyPumpkin81

Is no one admitting to owning too much toilet paper?!
At the moment I do but that's because my order from Who Gives A Crap has just arrived.

Cookbooks - over 80 but that is just a guess.

fairlygoodmother · 05/01/2021 18:57

footballs
reusable shopping bags
water bottles, although we still never have enough of the ones we like
fabric face masks, ditto
bags of various gluten free flours that I have given up baking with

Very envious of the people with too much bed linen, and the poster with the daffodils.

Tinned tomatoes Grin
Snap! DH was in the cupboard the other day & he was Confused It’s just something we always need so I pick 2 tins up a week. I just forget to take into account we might not have had anything with them in for a couple of weeks.

Tights. I haven't worked since 2013 but still have a drawer full.

Craft equipment and materials. 2 rooms of stuff.

Shoes. 2 wardrobes full. What are they for again? Confused

Drinking glasses, cake stands and enough catering fancy tableware for a restaurant doing afternoon teas... but we’re not. Blush

FleetwoodRaincoat · 05/01/2021 19:00

Stones. I love beach-combing and can't resist a pretty stone. I must have hundreds ...
