Coats.

I estimate that we have at least 50 coats in our understairs cupboard.

Jugs. 24 at the last count and I wasn't even trying.

Ditto pink shoes. More than a dozen pairs.

And enough drinking glasses to run a small pub.

Odd socks. All waiting for their partners to re-emerge. Which they do the moment I give up and throw all the odd ones out.

Boots. Many colours and styles. Ankle, knee length, flat, chunky, heeled, leather, suede. I love them all and look forward to wearing the heels again.

sqirrelfriends · 05/01/2021 19:14

All the shoes, most of which I don't wear. An obscene amount are heels, which I'm afraid will probably never be worn (at least by me) again.

Probably 200 pairs in total.

MNBookNerd · 05/01/2021 19:14

Socks!

2bazookas · 05/01/2021 19:15

books, household linen, books, old china, books, hats. Oh, and books.

Kez200 · 05/01/2021 19:15

Gin. 6 part open bottles. Although with lockdown 3 that might help!

Glass. I love one particular make which holds teenage memories for me and its now retro. I think it will still be lovely when its vintage, so I buy quite a lot of it. I also use it so occasionally things get broken but not as fast as I buy them!

LadyEloise · 05/01/2021 19:15

PattyPan · 05/01/2021 19:18

Tights, I frequently buy the wrong size but never know what to do with them so they’re just in a bag under the bed Blush I wish you could try them on!

B1rthis · 05/01/2021 19:18

Hair ties. But can I find them when I need them?
Nope.

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 05/01/2021 19:18

@bloodywhitecat you are amazing. What a wonderful thing to do! ❤️

I have too many pairs of Jeans. Far too many. Socks too. Bedding. So much. Must have a clear out!

PyongyangKipperbang · 05/01/2021 19:18

ANother one with a MASSIVE collection of vintage Pryex (Chelsea pattern if anyone cares) its the absolute best.

Shoes.

Harry Potter Lego

Harry Potter merch in general

Books....actually scratch that, there is no such thing as too many books!

Ways to curl my flat fine hair, only one of which actually works, but for some reason I cant bring myself to throw the others away.
