.... to demand a serious cull? Mugs are trying to take over my kitchen (pic attached)

[PacificDogwod]

But apparently every one of them is 'precious' and needs to stay according to DH and DSs (they are ganging up on me).
Most are mismatched, some are freebies, many are chipped and faded from having been in the dishwasher 2 million times.

Help me!!

Bin one a week. Tenner says they won't even notice.

You are feeling rather sloppy fingered today...ooops smashed another...

Ha! I tried that - binned one a few weeks ago.
It reappeared in all its glory. Including lip severing chip

Ok, I need to become more destructive, good idea!

If you fall for the 'every one is precious' argument then you're the only mug you need to worry about

I did a huge cull last summer. I picked out our favourites and then people were allowed to 'save' five others each. The rest were chucked.

I had a beautiful clear cup cupboard for about a month, the bastard things have multiplied again. Mugs are worse than bunnies 🙄

A tiled kitchen floor does wonders when your hands are wet from washing up. Nothing bounces. Not even an iPhone in its protective bumper case.

I did this a few years ago, I now own 5 Le Creuset mugs in different colours, they are the only mugs allowed in my home and only hot drinks and milk can be drunk from them.
My life house is a mess but my mugs are not

How COULD you?!

I love mugs I bought a new one yesterday!

Bedweek
You are oh so right

I have a timber floor - good quality mugs do bounce. Sigh.

We are six - that would be 36 mugs. Too many.
And yes, they breed at an alarming rate.

Two each then? We're only a three, and dh said he didn't care about mugs (though I noticed he did check his jelly baby mug was safe before he said anything) 😂

Brillo, Le Crueset mugs......I'm

Don't you take your tea out on the patio?

What prompted my post today is that I want to buy some GOSH mugs. But there is no room in the mug drawer.

I am taking note of every idea.

No tea on the patio today as I might freeze to death. 12 degrees C

Take them out with you and ditch on a street bin?

I like a cup of tea on the drive....

But you will need a mug of tea to keep you warm and it would be shame if you dropped it.

For the love of all that is good, no! Now we have a kitchen with a cupboard for mugs instead of hooks I don't mind what pictures ours have on them, but they need to be large with straight sides and have big handles so I can carry 2 with one hand. Now you've made a thing of it OP, your cause is lost and you will be stuck with them for ever.

Where are you OP? Where is it 12 degrees? Sounds lovely. Far too hot in London .

Yes, I have a favoured size and shape and proper thickness of wall also.
I favour china over earthenware. Hate logos. Love the mugs matching the rest of our crockery.

I will have to woman up, won't I?

I do hate mug trees though

whatnow, Scotland.

I've just taken my damp washing down and hung it back up inside. Sigh
Grey, cold and miserable here.

I shall go and put the kettle on

Have I mentioned that we have 2 (TWO!!) giant SportsDirect mugs??!
DH luffs them. I should LTB, shouldn't I?

I like the one on the top left.

I want to buy some GOSH mugs Who buys all these mugs in your mug drawer op? Is it you??

Cold and damp sounds lovely. Well I would like it to be about 22 degrees - maybe not 12.

I hate Sports Direct mugs as well .

2nd row, 4th from left appears to contain a slug?.... :)

Eugh I hate the sports direct ones!
DP uses ours as a paint pot.
Could you just leave one in the car for a few weeks, and if nobody notices then bin it... And repeat.
Or plant things in them? They'll be ruined for drinking out of and out of your cupboard!
