I used to collect pencils when I was a kid when I went to gift shops etc. When I was a teenager I collected now albums. Now im an adult I collect toys off the floor that my kids have left all around the house to put them back on their shelf.....

Not really.
Although to some it may be surprising that I consciously decided to in my teens, start to collect as much of 60s music and artistes from the 60s in music.
Obviously there's one singer whose been going since the 40s, I became a strong fan of.
Petula Clark.
Over the years, from family stuff they have of her, I've built up just about ALL her vinyl and cd work to the present.
Then although still just 28, I really love the music of the 60s, so have collected as much as possible on cd of the singers and groups of that era.
I think the melodies, the singalong effect, plus the performances were really great.
Often the lyrics very relevant to lives too.
So that would be the only thing I'd say I've seriously collected.
I have to say, I'd rather sit and listen constantly to the music of that era than really most of the modern stuff.
That's been the case with me since I was 15.

used to collect playmobil toys
also got a decent collection of cookbooks
currently into: more on computer on external harddrive, got myself some maps made for music specifically from which country (started doing this with eurovision national final songs, but i thought let me add more songs, first looking up nationalities/ethnicities of artists, composers and then adding them which map they go in) also a nice collection i guess

I curbed my arctophilia over the last few years, gave many of my bears away.
I have a habit of buying chrome and glass candle holders, mainly hurricane lantern types. We haven’t actually unpacked the zillions of boxes we packed when we moved here ( almost two years ago ) so I have no idea how many and where they will all be going once we do.😂

I do have a newspaper collection.. Since the Brexit vote whenever there's been a momentous event with a memorable front page I've kept the paper and I've bought one of each paper some days so that all the different sides are represented. Quite like looking back on it now and seeing headlines like 'Theresa's Night of Triumph' after she won one vote then two months later she's resigning and all the headlines are about her crying in her leaving speech
(Yes it's very sad)

MY dad did that:laugh:, started from the first man in the moon and did all the big events, disasters since until around the wedding of charles and di, they are in a box in the attic. I love looking at what was on tv back in the day (3 channels).
The one i like the best is the local paper when he was on the front page as he got a medal from the Queen. Inevitably I scribbled all over it not realising as a wee boy, my mum went mad.:bawling:

Only vinyl really if that counts. I also got about 6 or 7 Pop Vinyls before realising they all look a bit crap and nothing like the characters they're milking money from :laugh:
