.... 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

Lipsticks - not 200 like a PP but about 60, which is ridiculous.

I've put them all on my mantelpiece and I'm using a different one each day, then keeping or binning.

Iwouldbecomplex · 10/01/2021 22:03

Pyjamas and grey jumpers. I'm obsessed with grey jumpers

GavsCloakOfInvisibility · 10/01/2021 22:03

Wasn't judging the 200 lipstick owner btw - I would love to have 200!

Ramekins- get them with those wee cheesecakes and puddings and keep them all. Also the dishes that come with baking camemberts. They are taking over the kitchen

Soaps. About two shoe boxes full. I love luxury ones from Etsy etc. I do use them but should really stop buying them until I've used them up

227 different colours/brands of nail polish.
I have anything you can think of. Multi chromes, thermals, holo, flakies etc

Uncomfortable pants! But seems wasteful to get rid of them and I keep trying them on to see if they have become comfortable yet 😂

Bananabuddy3 · 10/01/2021 22:11

Bags for life. 5 bloody bags for life filled with more bags for life.

Bed spreads. Still got my university ones. Bought new and never chucked old.

Photo frames. I used to want photos everywhere and now I prefer a more minimalist look.

Cushions. Same problems as above. Kept all cushions from way back in uni halls and decor has changed several times so they are a totally random selection.

Socks. In theory you can’t have too many - but I seem to wear the same pairs each week.

Those with hordes of nail polish...don’t they go all thick and gloopy? How can you use them all before they turn?

Pyjamas and I still want more. Grey hairs- I was going to just let them take over but decided highlights may help them blend in, then lockdown happened and the salons closed.

diamondpony80 · 10/01/2021 22:17

Stationery - loads of cute notebooks and pens and other office type stuff (way more than I could ever use).

Ideasplease322 · 10/01/2021 22:18

Navy t shirts.

Books

Bras

Pjs

Nail polishes.

DP brought me 30 more for Christmas and told me to clear out all my old ones.. the cheek of it! How dare he Grin

Shoes and books.
Lots of beautiful shoes that I will probably never get around to wearing.
Lots of beautiful books that hopefully I will get around to read.

sunlightbuttons · 10/01/2021 22:22

Dresses. Particularly red ones and blue ones.

DipSwimSwoosh · 10/01/2021 22:23

Scarves
I don't wear them, I am claustrophobic.
But people keep giving me scarves.

Ifonlyiweretaller · 10/01/2021 22:23

Handbags. I used to swap them around most days, but as I have nowhere to go these days they just sit on their shelves feeling neglected.

I also have far too many uncomfortable pants - trouble is you can't give them away! I buy a 5 pack, wear one pair (just to confirm they are not comfy) , but despite the other 4 pairs being unworn, charity shops won't take them. I can't bear to just throw them out so they just accumulate in various overspill drawers!

Lockdownshmockdown · 10/01/2021 22:24

Tights. And various soaps.

Kndg · 10/01/2021 22:27

Pyjamas and nighties. I have loads.
Ditto knickers.
Also lots of duvet covers for each of the beds.

Bunnybigears · 10/01/2021 22:27

Nearly empty bottles of shampoo

listsandbudgets · 10/01/2021 22:33

Tinned tomatoes.. I cleared out my cupboards yesterday .. I have 22 cans of the damned things.

EngineeringFix · 10/01/2021 22:34

Notebooks

Ltdannygreen · 10/01/2021 22:34

Socks, shower gels

Lipsticks. I need to whiten my teeth before I'm confident enough to pull them off again but with the mask situation there's little point.
