I have 28 house plants.

In my defence about 10 don't belong here (they're just here because they should be in another empty house).

Pounds of weight.

JenIsAGem · 16/03/2021 20:58

Mugs, I just can't get enough 🤷🏼‍♀️
I have personalised ages ones, family ones etc ☕️

Mugs

Justmuddlingalong · 16/03/2021 21:00

Shoes, bags and purses.

Children's clothes. I suspect I have an actual problem!
Wool
Books

Socks!

KingsRoad · 16/03/2021 21:01

Water bottles. Ones that are too big ones that leak. Ones that can't go in the dishwasher. Ones that are supposed to have a straw but I can't find the straw.

Emails. I'm a minimalist and have hardly any excess stuff. But I have about 10,000 unread emails.

Stronghold · 16/03/2021 21:02

Lego. Its everywhere. Send help.

Palavah · 16/03/2021 21:02

Cushions. Bottle openers. Dead houseplants.

MonochromeMinnie · 16/03/2021 21:03

Cushions. I have a bit of a habit.

Susie477 · 16/03/2021 21:04

Mugs, books, horses.

Tupperware boxes and disassociated lids

Happymama24 · 16/03/2021 21:04

Too many food storage containers

ILoveMyMonkey · 16/03/2021 21:05

Jumpers. I bloody love a jumper.

Thesagacontinues · 16/03/2021 21:05

Children Grin

Love them to bits but every day theres a different struggle I'm up against with them and I'm completely worn out.

TwoZeroTwoZero · 16/03/2021 21:05

Yarn
Fabric
Photography bits & pieces
Mugs, cups and glasses
Pens (but never when I need one)
Weight

Zancah · 16/03/2021 21:05

Shoes. I filled my shoe cupboard and now they are all in lines in the bottoms of my wardrobes, 2 lines deep.

FlatToppedTree · 16/03/2021 21:06

Wood. Bloody sheets of it everywhere Blush

GetTheStartyParted · 16/03/2021 21:06

Clothes that don't fit me.

Midlifephoenix · 16/03/2021 21:07

Candle holders. I can see at least a dozen in the dining room. I have probably two dozen more, ranging from single tealight holders to full on display candelabras.
Also dinnerware. I have my mix of Sainsbury's and Lia blue and white pattern I use every day, my full eight place settngs plus serving and accessories wedding china, the same amount again but Christmas china, and a new set of every day white, 12 of everything, for my new house (I'll get rid of the blue and white I have now).
I also have at least a dozen sets of white towels because I used to have a holiday let house requiring four sets times two.

NovemberR · 16/03/2021 21:07

Stuff.

Just..stuff. I would love to be more minimalist, but we are a family of hoarders.

Also, laughing at the pp who said pounds of weight because this also applies to me.

FatCatThinCat · 16/03/2021 21:07

Wires. They're everywhere. Most I have no idea what they're for but I know I'll need it as soon as I throw it away.

treehousethunderstorm · 16/03/2021 21:07

Pyjamas

Zancah · 16/03/2021 21:07

@Happymama24

Too many food storage containers
Oh them too. A full 60cm kitchen cupboard full, both shelves piled to their ceilings. It's a trial just opening the door and dodging the ones that fly at your head.
