.... Cook books.

I have hardly any fucking time to cook, but they look so nice on my shelf!

Curious to see what you're all hoarding... Grin

Sheet music. In this tiny two bed house, I have way too much. Anyone want some Haydn string quartets? 😉

Ramekins. From buying a well known dessert too often. Don't know what to do with them!

ScrapThatThen · 10/01/2021 21:35

Warm gilets. I think I have 6.

CarlottaValdez · 10/01/2021 21:37

Fountain pens and bottles of ink. It’s out of hand.

Trulyatraditionalman · 10/01/2021 21:37

@helocariad is it GU?? I'm guessing it's the millionaire cheesecake.... 👌

Another fabric hoarder, i have an entire room full..

PanamaPattie · 10/01/2021 21:40

Lipstick - over 200 in pinks and red. I can't use them when I wearing a mask.

Bitbusyattheminute · 10/01/2021 21:42

Nailvarnish and red lipsticks. Black jumpers.
I have so many nailvarnishes, I don't think I can buy any more, unless they invent a new colour. I look at them, then walk away because I genuinely can't think if a colour i don't have.

Oh and guitars..how I could forget?
Two good classical guitars, a nice fender or two, a bass, a handful of random ones and a yamaha silent guitar.. think there are 11 knocking around, plus two old ones turned into guitar shaped shelves...

In my defence two of us play, and the third left some behind when he emigrated!!!

Books. We have them in every room and loads of them.

House plants. I have getting on for 100. Again I have them in every room. I can't resist buying them

Socks
Think I might have casually mentioned to someone once about 10 years ago that I needed some new socks so now everyone buys them for me. I got 9 pairs at Christmas.

wendywoopywoo222 · 10/01/2021 21:50

Fabric. Wool and sewing machines. All completely necessary.

RogueV · 10/01/2021 21:50

Undies, bras and pyjamas

RoosterTheRoost · 10/01/2021 21:51

Packets of pasta 😬

BarryWhiteIsMyBrother · 10/01/2021 21:52

And makeup: I have a chest of drawers bursting with it.

JaninaDuszejko · 10/01/2021 21:52

Books and shoes.

PurpleDandelions · 10/01/2021 21:53

@Helocariad apparently you can put Pringles lids on them and use them to store stuff. Not sure what you'd put in them though.

Ice cube trays... at last count I had more than 40!

EileenGC · 10/01/2021 21:56

Socks. Way too many but I love them all and do wear them all too.

Fabric carrier bags. I keep forgetting to add one to my handbag for when I go shopping, so I inevitably end up buying another one. I'm trying not to buy much plastic but I guess it's still wasteful to buy so many fabric bags.

Sheet music here too - but then it's my profession so I'll always be on the hunt for new scores and I'm not ashamed of how many duplicates I have Grin
Whenever we start new repertoire at work, I go to a happy place as it means more copies and parts to mark and add to the collection!!!

Outdoorsywithgin · 10/01/2021 21:57

@Xanadu58

Fabric , I took up sewing last May and I've got more fabric than I know what to do with
Ah but sewing and buying fabric are two very different hobbies!
