    I don't think I even have the space in my house for 192 toilet rolls!
    Well, er, you see that's the thing... I only need to get a few more and I don't need to ehm, sorry, can't buy a sofa :rolleyes: Just Kidding, I have plenty of space... why do you think all my beds have been divans, lol!

    Er, while I'm at it, can I just point out that I haven't actually spent more than £100 (I paid full price for nothing) on everything PLUS I am expecting £20 (at least :rolleyes:) in Tesco points to pop through my door next time they're due :D

    It will last me a lot more than a year (or at least it should - OH is banned from touching my 'stock'!) but for easy counting we will stick at that... I have actually paid £8.33 a month (excluding points) or £6 a month including points... to keep me and my whole family clean and lovely :D

    I blame my tendancies to hoard on my mum who was brought up in the war years when you didn't throw anything away and if there was anything available to buy you bought it (even if you would never eat it )
    I can't even use that as an excuse, my mum's only in her 40's (sorry mum!) :o

    I don't hoard stuff at all, never had the money to even attempt to, since i left home, but i get a right darn kick out of visiting other peoples kitchens and nosying in their stocked up cupboards ;) I especially love rifling through OH's parents 'packet mix' cupboard. Find flavours there I never knew existed!
