.... 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

Coats and shoes. 60coats at least. I dread to think about shoes. We collect trainers in this house

Nail polish only really goes gloopy if you use it a lot or keep opening it.
Its some of the solvents evaporating so you just get some thinner/restorer, add some drops and a good shake and its as good as new!

China cups, saucers, plate, jugs. I got rid of the teappts a few yesrs ago.

pippapoo62 · 10/01/2021 22:52

Lots of lovely wool/yarn

HelloDoris · 10/01/2021 22:55

Vintage China and Enid Blyton books.. just too many

AlanThePig · 10/01/2021 22:56

Star wars collectibles. So much it now has its own room. Like a museum.

Boots yet I still defer to my favourite pair, then invariably dig out a pair I love in August and mentally remind myself to wear them in winter. Then forget.

Handbags. I do use most of them in rotation though. Not that they go out much lately.

80s and 90s My Little Ponies Blush
Nail varnishes
Bags
Kindle books that I'll probably never manage to read

Shoes. Especially trainers. A new pair arriving tomorrow I hope!

Craft supplies

So much that when dd comes to me at the last minute and says she needs something wacky for a school project like a package of fake moss, I probably have it and don’t need to run to the store.

Irregular choice shoes 👞

RainbowRaine · 10/01/2021 23:14

DVDs
Nail varnish
I own 39 pairs of jeans/trousers if they count.

QueenAnnesHat · 10/01/2021 23:18

Lip salves. On a quest to find the perfect one for my very dry lips. I have at least forty, in every coat pocket and all over the house. Not one does the job to my liking.

vanillandhoney · 10/01/2021 23:23

Wax melts
Black leggings
Knitted jumpers

Elphame · 10/01/2021 23:33

Herbs.

Must stop collecting herbs!

Worst · 10/01/2021 23:34

Pyjamas- so, so many. I bought myself three pairs of lovely posh ones this Christmas, but still can’t bring myself to get rid of e.g. my Primark unicorn PJs from 4 years ago which must have now been through the wash at least 200 times.

Scarfs/wraps/pashminas and chunky necklaces. White Stuff/Seasalt style. I must have well over 100 of each, which is eye watering when I think they probably averaged £30 each ConfusedBlush

uncomfortablydumb53 · 10/01/2021 23:35

Breton tops! I'm getting bored of them now though and trying to replace with something else

calamariandchilledwine · 10/01/2021 23:36

Knickers... always seem to forget to buy them when I travel (pre-Covid) or if I've run out and don't have time to do a wash I go and get some from the supermarket Blush

SacreBleeeurgh · 10/01/2021 23:37

Prams. I have twice as many as I have children. Only one of whom uses a pram anymore. Blush

YouBoggleMyMind · 10/01/2021 23:39

Tuppawear 🤦🏻‍♀️

BumbleFlump · 10/01/2021 23:41

Broccoli stalks - I save them up in the fridge drawer and embung them in stews, bolognaise, soup etc although most of the time I forget to use them so they just accumulate until the drawer is almost full...we eat a lot of broccoli!😀🥦 🥦🥦

LandGirlJudy · 10/01/2021 23:48

Wool.

Busy using it up now though, doing hats and twist front headbands

Prisonbreak · 10/01/2021 23:50

Bath and body works anti bacs. I could start a shop

Coffee4Queen · 10/01/2021 23:52

Blush 34 lip balms.

28 of them are Blistex medicated lip ointments bought in bulk from an American online health shop. I got them as an alternative to the discontinued Blistex lip relief cream which was the only thing that helped my very dry and cracked lips.

thishouseisashittip · 10/01/2021 23:53
