Tea bags! Fruit tea, herbal tea, flavoured green teas, white teas etc etc etc.
I nearly fell for the marketing trick of Twinings cold brew flavoured sachets for drinking water bottles at nearly £2 for 3 sachets. Then I remembered my tea bag stash and I've been using a fruit tea bag in my drinking water bottle - I start it off brewing with a splash of hot water then add cold. It works well to give a subtle flavour to the water.

Gonna pinch this idea - I found a rose gold metal 500ml M&S flask in BHF today BNWT so that can be my tea pot!

I guess the worst is bog standart sewing needles... Not the machine type ones which you end up breaking at some point and need to replace them, but handsewing needles... I have about 200-300... Both my grannies passed their sewing machines on to me with all the bits and bobs and I have no idea why they needed so many needles... I could live to a 100 and not use them all...

Yarn... This year has been good so far, but last year I bought twice as much yarn as I used up... But I guess it is every knitters secret nightmare to wake up one morning to a world where all yarn shops and departement stores stopped trading...

Cross stitching stuff. Especially since I gave up stitching to have more time for knitting...

Fat quarters... I don't intend to quilt... On the few occasions I want to sew something I need bigger fabric pieces... So can't use them...

Sticky tape - I don't use much, maybe one roll a year, but somehow have 20 lined up..

A6 notepads - I hate them, I prefere bigger paper for actual writing and for shopping lists etc. the back of an envelope will do, so no idea why I needed 10 of these notepads...

Oh and someone mentiones scissors... On my last count I had almost 15 (4 general / kitchen scissors, 3 papercraft scissors and at least 6 fabric scissors...)...

Me too.

I have a large box crammed full of computer bits including every conceivable variety of cable, a classic case of 'but they might come in useful one day'

Just found this thread and now wishing I had stashes of all of these things after a lifetime of decluttering and minimalism.. ENABLERS! :D

I, for one, feel a whole lot better after reading this thread. I must be approaching normal.

mar, you can go and boil your head, but not until you've finished eating that elephant you have stashed in your freezer.

I know! I quickly developed stash envy as I coveted various parts of other people's stashes.

Approaching isn't good enough, one should be properly normal or very eccentric, there is no middle of the road.


Well, there is, but you're liable to get run over. Possibly by rampaging elephants.

monnagran

Actually there is a middle road. There is the normal that you can put on when surrounded by other normal people and wishing to be inconspicuous. And there is the normal for you, which is possibly not normal at all.

Not wishing to cast aspidistras or anything, and naming no names but follow the direction of my eyes.

I've gone off elephants a bit. Can you eat aspidistras???
