is anyone else like me ?

Just got soaked going down the garden to my big tin shed [from Argos] Mr S calls it "the mini supermarket" because I keep all sorts of tinned food, washing products, veg, fat balls for the birds etc in fact everytime I see a "bargain" in Tescos/Asda i.e. 2 for 1 I buy it and store it down there also got a freezer there .It saves me running out of stuff- loads of bog rolls down there too but the rest of the family takes the pee about that and the fact I wash the milk bottles in the dishwasher before I put outside for the milkman.I am normal arent I ? taking into consideration I am 73 on Wednesday.

what a young sounding 73 ,Dee
I tend to buy in bulk and keep a lot of stuff in the garage too

Not sure what your age has to do with it Dee but yeah thats normal I would say. I stack everything in the spare bedroom. I have more loo roll than you can shake a stick at, 16 rolls of Andrex for £4.50, I could hardly walk past that lol not sure about the milk bottles though, a quick rinse should be enough :-)

case I forget (am also of a certain age) Happy Birthday for Wednesday -

[ummmm]

I used to put the milk bottles in the dish washer.

I will be Happy Birfdaying you on Wedneday as well x

I also like to stock up just in case for a rainy day but end up with lots of clutter.
Happy Birthday on the day!

Well most of that could have been written by my woman.
I make no comment as to whether it is normal or not ;-)

Dee. in the 26 years I've lived my car has never been in the garage but it is full of shelves full of stuff that might come in handy, never does

[Bobbisox]

I just hoard the essentials like T Rolls and stuff but in general I am not by nature, a hoarder

[Dee Sa]

thanks everyone, so glad I joined the A/B, thanks for birthday wishes and looks like other people do the same as moi.

I have a part of the wardrobe in the spare bedroom as a store cupboard. I always stock up on bargains like BOGOF for things I need. I wouldnt buy it if I didnt normally use it. My husband keeps saying that things are breeding in there. He tries to use things up and another 3 appear. But he uses things for the sake of it and I tell him thats not the way to save money which I am trying to do. You have got to save where you can these days even if it means paying out more one week to save the following week when the BOGOFF is finished.

Its makes sense really, and age has nothing to do with it. Ive always been like that and Im now nearly 60.

I dont have the room to keep stock of sorts unfortunately, it sounds quite a handy idea though, I do tend to put glass jars and bottles in the dishwasher before they are recycled :S

happy birthday for wednesday xx
