"I own a ridiculous amount of...."

[Trulyatraditionalman]

.... 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...

Recorders ( various sizes) 11 at the last count!
2 sopraninos
3 sopranos
3 altos
2 tenors
1 bass

Books. DH and I both hoard them. We have so many that we once made a book igloo big enough to sit in. Kindle has slowed the influx but there are still loads.

Fabric
Yarn
needles and hooks for yarn
Decent supermarket shopping bags (I love buying new ones in new patterns)
Notebooks and pens
More notebooks than that (DH found a stash yesterday, In my defence I have a MA in creative writing so I SHOULD have notebooks)
Buttons and beads, colour coordinated in ice cream tubs, for art stuff
Contact lenses. I've not been bothering on lockdowns. I've reduced my order to the minimum now.

Items of clothing 4 sizes too small. I've put on weight.

@LST

Plastic bags. They multiple in my drawer

Same here. They seem to breed, somehow!

Building tools. The only thing I don't have is the white van. I'm rubbish at remembering their names, but I'm like that with people, streets and songs too. In my defence I am building a house so I'm using the tools.

Jackets - I wear them all
Nail polish - I wear it every day.
Colouring books and felt pens - keeps me busy during lock downs.

Notebooks. And more notebooks. And a few more.

At the moment I have far too many clothes because all I wear is leggings and hoodies. But that’s temporary.

Mugs.

And not just mugs. Special mugs with memories.

Yest I only use 3 favourite mugs day to day on rotation.

Plastic bags
Bags for life (I know, kind of defeats the object)
Eyebrow tweezers (being out on my way somewhere important realising my brows look straggly and have no tweezers on me, but oh look! There's a Boots/Savers/Superdrug on my bus route there. So I just pop in and get some...and so the cycle begins again)

But..but...you hope to slim into them again one day, right? So you just can't throw them out! I relate to the struggle, i really do

Where do you all store this stuff?

200 shoes? 60 coats?! I'm in a 2 bed flat with 2 dc and have to be ruthless so we don't all drown in stuff.

1,500 Ladybird books

Birth, marriage and death certificates from when we researched our family tree. We did discover one of DH ancestors died due to injuries sustained from falling off a haystack.

Make up bags. Once, back in the mists of time, I replied, "Oh, a make up bag would be useful, thanks!" when a family member asked me what I would like for Christmas/birthday.

@TiredUselessHopeless

🤣🤣🤣

Me too

Bikes. Only me and DP and we have 11 between us.
Coats. I just am a sucker for a coat. Mostly wear the same one or two but again it’s definitely in the double figures (darent count)
Socks. If I won the lottery I’d have new socks every day and am in a subscription club so some arrive in the post every month

Boxes of unbranded Cornflakes - I think about 50. I live in South Devon and there are currently multiple cruise liners moored in the bay. They decided to ‘help’ the local community by donating all their long life food to the schools. The schools had nowhere to store them so rather forcefully handed them out to all the pupils to take home over the course of several weeks. We use them for assault courses - they make good ‘walls’ to crash through.

Motorbike clothing, particularly gloves. Waterproof, heated, ventilated, long, short, armoured, lightweight. And I'll probably buy more once I get to a bike show again.

Colanders - big ones, small ones, white ones, metal ones...
There is only so often a family can eat pasta.

snapped yes that's it. However unrealistic that is, I still stubbornly think I'll be slim again. And of course I'll definitely want to wear 10 years out of date stuff when I am.

Books
Mugs
Trainers
Socks
Eyeliners
Perfume

Also, floral midi dresses.

Skincare lotions and potions

Playmobil. But I do use it.

Make up
Skin care
Faux fur gilets
