Just curious after sorting my bedroom out this week. I think I need to have a cull!

Undercrackers? Umm I dunno, 80? (ish)

Socks 40-50?

This summer I got rid of all the uncomfy knickers and was left with 4 pairs! So I stocked up and now have 10 pairs.

I buy cheap socks, so they only last a year. At the moment I have about 8 pairs, all black.

I have about 20 pairs of knickers and about 3-4 pairs of socks (live in a warm country so don't wear them often)

Probably 40 pairs of pants ( and 20 bras, I buy x2 pants and matching bra each time)

30 ish pairs of socks. That includes things like ski socks which don't get worn most the year

Oh Lord - I probably own twenty white bras alone Shock. I have hundreds of bras and most still fit me well. As for knickers- hundreds. Not so many pairs of socks. I wear mainly plain black cotton ones. I have a few Fair Isle patterned woollen socks and some cashmere evening socks that i wear to snuggle under the sofa blanket.

My daughter is as bad. She loves her lingerie. We learned it at our Mothers knee. She used to have the most exquisite lingerie sets and I used to love folding and refolding them as a little girl. I'd arrange them in rainbows of colours in her chest of drawers and they smelled gorgeous because of the emptied bottles of perfume she'd tuck underneath them. My Father used to bring her sets from all over the world as he worked abroad mostly. I have some of her bras still- Chantilly lace and dotted Swiss cotton plus some of the original 70's Gossard Glossies bras in blue and Sahara.

Gorgeous and I think that vintage lingerie lovers would covet them.

Sorry for my odd reverie!

Maybe 30 pairs of knickers and I don't wear socks so only have fluffy tote like ones-3 pairs.

I have about 30 pairs of pants, 20 decent, the others have seen better days but very handy for a certain time of the month! I've got about 20 pairs socks.

Woah! I have about 15 pairs pants and 5-6 bras, need to cull these and buy new ones that fit properly/aren't saggy and fraying...

DancingLady · 06/11/2013 14:33
