.... 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.

Lots of lovely wool/yarn

HelloDoris · 10/01/2021 22:55

Vintage China and Enid Blyton books.. just too many

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.

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.

Wax melts
Black leggings
Knitted jumpers

Elphame · 10/01/2021 23:33

Herbs.

Must stop collecting herbs!

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
