I seriously considered it. (But I'm a coin collector.)

Did I see the other day that you collect stamps as well or did I make that up?!

I would love to collect things or be interested in anything enough to collect but I'm too OCD about clutter and tidying to have collections of things
My mum used to collect wall plates and tea pots when I was wee and we had a large house

I seriously considered it too - but as an investment! Where else could I spend £60 on something which might pentuple (or whatever the 5 times version of quadruple is) in a few years!!

Quintuple?

Yes I do. I also collect bookmarks, stamp books, sugar wrappers (as in the little sachets from restaurants - not big packets from the supermarket), match books/boxes, fans (as in the kind you flap about), postcards and Bobbsey Twins books. I used to collect some other things too but I try to restrain myself.

I've been burgled! They broke in during the night, and amongst other things have taken mine and OH's cameras and my mobile phone, so all the pictures I have ever taken of Edward have gone. The rest of it is all petty annoying stuff, like my blackberry with all my contacts, and appointments on it, and OH's laptop with his work stuff, together with all our cards and cash, which will make paying for DS's birthday party tomorrow challenging.
