To ban dp from bringing anymore cd's/dvd's home?

[annabanana84]

DP is a bit of a hoarder. Especially when it comes to his precious dvd's and cd's. He calls them his "collections". He has hundreds, and on average, brings a new one home every fortnight. We live in a small flat with virtually no storage and so his cd and DVD collection is taking over our home and making it look untidy to me. I feel so sick of the damn things and have told dp to but some of the plastic storage containers that you can stack to put them in, least then they'll look a bit more presentable than stacked under the stairs or in cardboard boxes as he has them now but he hasn't bought them yet, but there's no way I'm paying a tenner for them for his shit, and then not getting my
Money back from him! So, wibu to enforce a ban on him buying any more cd's/d-vd's?

Sorry did you say dp or dc?

You sound like a total nag. I would tell you to stick it somewhere warm and wet if you tried to ban me from anything.

However I agree with the 'one in, one out' approach from now on. Also consider hiring storage.

There's no need to use apostrophes for cds and dvds.

The problem seems to be the storage not the amount of cds (one every two weeks is not going to affect the quantity of cds/dvds much). Get tall bookshelves/cd towers stacked against the wall or plastic boxes as you say. The right storage really can make a huge difference. If I were you I'd probably buy them and take the money off from somewhere else, if he really isn't seeing the problem.

Actually the "one in, one out" approach sounds good too.

Burn the lot to 'the cloud'. Job done.

I will never ever get a Kindle for all my books though :o
