Crombek Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Shoes. I have close to 40 pairs, I wear about 3 of them regularly. Do books count? I don't think books count. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorineTheCatLover Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Hills Mum Bec said: Hello, my name is Bec and I'm also a yarn addict. Sorted out all my yarn a few weeks ago. It was in places all over the house and I have put it all together in one storage container. Storage container was only 3/4 full so decided that was a good sign to buy more yarn. I keep finding more and more that I had stashed in various places around the house so now I have a very large tub of yarn that is chock full plus a second pile of yarn that doesn't fit into the tub. And then BWM bring out a new limited release ...... Phtt! One tub....you're a beginner. I have seven lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonMyrtle Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 According to DH I have too many bras. I disagree, I don’t even wear half of them but that’s beside the point. You can never have too many bras. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mose Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I have a shocking habit of buying so much of a grocery that it gets excessive and then I put it on my mental "don't buy" list....and leave it there for so long we run out. For example, every fortnight when I do a big shop I will say to myself "oh, rice noodles, it's not on the list, but we always use them" and buy more. Eventually building to a precarious tower of rice noodles, at which point I tell myself "don't buy rice noodles, you've got way too much already", every fortnight for ages. Until I go to make something with them and realise that we have run out. There is pretty much always something we have too much of, always someone my mental "don't buy" list, and always something we have run out of because I left it on my "don't buy" list for too long. If I could name the items at any moment in time (ideally before writing the shopping list) I could resolve this issue. Turns out I can't adult. Sorry kids. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ineedmorecoffee Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Too many handbags and shoes, I have bags and shoes I’ve never used I’m more of a cheap skate when it comes to clothes for some reason, maybe cause I’ve never really loved or accepted my my body/shape/size. Being a teenage girl in the 90s meant the heroin chic waif look was in ala Kate Moss and I was never that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernegirl Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Books and stationery. I will never apologise for the books. I can't resist beautiful pens and notebooks. We have a pen pot in five different rooms If there's a stationery sale on, I always stock up and it all gets used eventually. DD has about 27 pencil cases 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Vinyls. There's no such thing as too many pop vinyls. I only buy the right amount of things because the right amount is however many of the thing I want. I don't actually have that many pops but was surprised to find I now have 35. There will be more. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you say this, I remember when my parents had more than 20 potato peelers. Mum did have an unfortunate habit of destroying them in the waste disposal unit, but even so, this was extreme stockpiling. I remember her being so proud when the last one of the lot broke because clearly she hadn't over purchased on her lifetime potato peeler needs. I still don't really understand this, pretty sure we have had ours for more than a decade and it's fine...but anyway, your post helps me to understand that my problem us genetic. Nothing I can do.

BKK Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Yarn - I’m sure I’ve heard about people whom use yarn to make gifts for charity. Such as beautiful baby rugs for the children’s hospital or bennies & scarfs for the homeless in winter. If you have to much or even if you are crafting think of how your efforts can help others. I wish I was a crafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey_Senses Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Kids books. People hand them down to us and I cant bear to hand them on because DS reads them all. But we have a stupid amount. We will hand them on as he grows out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
