Do you (or have you ever) collect things?
 

Inspired by Ammi.

Do you collect things?

If so, what is it?

We collect fridge magnets.

For a while Parmy used to collect infractions

:joker:

Ahh yes I'm the same. Haven't had any for ages touch wood.

And virginities back in the day.

Tarzan cards from the bubble gum packets.

Original prints of Dickens stories, such the periodicals. Ones by the Bell Brothers too, to a less extent.

OMG Kate .. this is one of my ‘things’ .

Far too many things to just list off the top of my head .

I will start a list and come back in a few days

Oh :laugh: oopsy daisy.

Yes I see what you mean now.

Blu rays, 4ks and dvds I collect them

Got a nice little record collection coming along!

I collect autographs, also the meerkats from the advert, keyrings and shells.

I used to collect a lot of those too.

But after 2017, I attended TIBB rehab and I have been clean since.:joker:

But for me besides Video Game and Manga, I don't really do much collecting of other types of things tbh.:laugh:

I mean I suppose that I could try and get into another hobby, especially with the Football season about to end soon.

Like Ammi I have a Christmas bauble or decoration from places visited which is why Mr C is asking why are there so many boxes marked Christmas in the garage after our move :hehe:

£20 notes.

I have ****in' loads of them

…:laugh:….I can’t claim the idea of the collection as being my own tbh because it was my lovely mother in law who started it all…they were always great travellers of very far off places and they would always bring us back a Christmas Tree bauble, wherever they went…so then it was something that we adopted ourselves…there are many that are from places that I’ve never been to…I think maybe I should start making stories about them ….’oh yes, Iceland…that was an amazing time we had…there was this little store that I bought that bauble at….’….the nice thing now is that when our children travel, that’s what they’ll always look for, for us as well…so it’s a real passing down the generations thing…just wait until they inherit them all and realise just how many there are ….’we’ll need a bigger tree, dear…’….

Guitars, keyboards and lots of other stuff

it is a really nice tradition but not sure my boys will get it will probably end up in the charity shop when I pass :laugh:

When I was a kid I collected postcards.

Which is your favourite, if you have one?

.

I collected teddy bears for years, have a load packed in boxes somewhere and gave loads away when we downsized.
Now I behave myself and limit myself to having only 6 of anything I love, hares, sheep, hens etc, ornamental of course.
I do go a bit mad with art. The walls in our house are too full for anymore really, we still have 8 Sam Toft to frame and most of our Lucy Pittaway collection.

I have an extensive collection of hoovers

But to be honest they are just gathering dust now

Big Box Ex Rental VHS tapes, and various other forms of VHS. Mainly Horror/Sci-Fi. It's very niche :joker:
