..those aren't mine btw, that's a google pic...

I collect knives which I have removed from my back over the years and put there by people who I helped and trusted. I have quite a collection from 'my salad days, when I was green in judgment'.

Yeah, I know Ammi - I've heard your coke collection is little bags of white powder. :hehe::hehe::hehe::hehe:

£2 coins, i'd never spend one unless I HAD to, idk why just started it a while ago and thought i'd carry on
and the 50ps that have different designs on the back like the Olympic ones

Diaries that i have filled in since I was at uni. I also have a wee nursery rhyme book that i write in on the pages once or twice a year with a date and what is going on and have been doing that in that book since I was 7.

I tend to find and buy and sell things that people collect. I reap from the dead and sell to the living...

I collect hares, Barbie dolls (my favourite, although not the most valuable, is Barbie & Ken as Mulder & Scully) and sweetheart brooches (military cap badges made into brooches for servicemen's sweethearts in WW1 & 2) although my collection is quite small at the moment.

I collect ex's. I'm getting pretty good at it too :laugh:

Seriously tho I don't collect anything but when I was a kid I used to collect rocks and fossils and things like that. Whenever someone in the family went on holiday they'd bring me back a rock from that country. My aim was to have a little bit of each part of the world in my room. (But then I became a teenager and started collecting porn instead :laugh: ) My favourite thing I had was a fossilized sharks tooth. And I had a really nice white crystal type thing (I cant remember what it's called). But all of that stuff is in a box somewhere at my mums house now.

Do you collect anything Ammi?

I have started my Gnome collection, I only have 6 so far though :hee: I was never very good at collecting stuff (except teddies when I was a kid) I always got bored of it after a while

What type of Gnomes? Garden ones? Or do you mean little ones like on key rings and things?

Garden Gnomes :laugh:

I used to collect lots of things - from Military Buttons and Medals, Miners Lamps, Fossils, and Cigarette Cards, to Antique KEYS! :laugh:

My most prized fossil was a huge ammonite which I found while holidaying at my aunt's in Bath as a kid. Do you know Liam, now you mention fossils, that I cannot even remember what I di with my collection - I just have no idea.

As for ex's :laugh: Don't worry about it; It's all part of Life's rich tapestry. :laugh::laugh:

:laugh: They're so lovely and 'feel goody' There's a house around the corner from me, and the front and back gardens are absolutely crammed with every type of gnome you could imagine. The owner is an old lady and she's been in the newspapers etc for her obsession.

A neighbour of mine in London, an elderly gent, had a gnome cricket match going on in his front garden complete with little umpire. It was actually really cute.

I just would not have you down as a Barbie & Ken collector Liv. :laugh: I more envisaged a subterannean 'Trophy Room' where the heads of your enemies were mounted on the walls :laugh: and in the corner was a padlocked trunk where you kept a 'Gimp'. :laugh:

Now I have to reimagine you as secretly soft and oh so slightly little-girly vulnerable. :hehe:

People are often surprised to hear I collect Barbie dolls. They're all packed away in boxes, I promise I never play with them LOL...

Maybe they'll become fossilized wherever they are and in 100 years someone else will start their collection with them

That's exactly the kind of old person I want to be

I like coloured glass, I have glass, fish, sweets, an octopus and vases from charity shops :)

I love gnomes too, I think they're kitsch and fun.

No, I used to collect unusual teapots then we moved and I gave them to charity as they just collected dust :fist: I have my kids exercise books, drawings, attempts at woodwork and pottery in plastic boxes in the garage and some toys like a wooden train track with Thomas the Tank wooden engines that cost a fortune 18 years ago :fist: other that that I am trying to minimalise rather than gather stuff ..sorry LT you will get nowt from me when I'm dead :idc:

Aw my mum has a few teapots she puts plants on the ones with no lids :)

I collect Rotherham United shirts and pin badges from away clubs I've been to.

Lego minifigures, currently on the 14th series called "monster"

I've got over 200 and the collection is worth about £1000

Finger nails

Uh?????
