Do you ever collect things, not because you are an enthusiast but out of habit ?

I heard on the radio about a woman who collected menus posted through the door for takeaways. Her husband said she had hundreds of them. One day they decided on a Chinese takeaway, she ordered by number over the phone. When all the wrong food arrived they realised it was an out of date menu and all the numbers had changed. grin

I have 2 drawers full of pop socks, tights and assorted footwear, many are just single socks shock

I don't mean to, but I seem to inadvertently collect Jiffy bags blush , it seems wasteful to throw them away, and they can't go in the recycling. I now have quite a collection in our "office".

I suppose I could offer them on Freecycle, perhaps there might be someone who could make good use of them?

After all, nana Kate, socks do have a life of their own and the other one may turn up soon.

Perhaps we should put the odd socks in a special thread? I have several that need a home, and my husband who only ever buys/wears long grey socks has a very odd green sock which has appeared from nowhere.
