Hi all - amongst other odds and ends I collect colanders.  Strange but true.  I obviously collect sheep and pigs but we are a farm of sorts.  Hope to increase our Berkshires soon - one due today and the other on the 5th Jan - but cant keep them all.  Jan

I collected pigs (not live ones) by accident. Many yearsw ago my daughter and I planned a holiday in Ireland and she gave me a piggy bank to save in.  (She then metamorphosed into the teenager from hell so I decided she could go on her own). Then I once mentioned to a friend that I love pigs.  This friend had seen my piggy bankand gave me another one.  Someone saw them and thought I collected them so gave me another one, etc etc.  Then I started being given small pig ornaments and big fluffy pigs.  It was all very nice until we started being overrun by the things and what was worse, I had to DUST them.  In the end, I had to pack them all away because I was being given nothing but pigs as presents.  What I really want is a REAL pig but lack the space.

I collect fairies(not real ones ) and tiny teddy bears. According to the OH, I also collect dogs but they just happen along .

Dirty washing, always seem to be gathering it and putting the washer on!   used to collect Crown Derby paperweights, ran out of room and fed up of dusting them, now they are in 3 big boxes packed away in attic. The childrens inheritance.

Junk - anything for free that I can possibly use; anything I can dismantle for parts; anything with scrap value; anything that can be chopped up for firewood; anything that I feel it's a waste to let it be thrown away.

Anything really.

I think the stuff breeds in the linen basket.  A friend once said that that is why it's called 'dirty' washing.

I seem to collect loonie women. I'm on my 4th at the moment and over many years it's a habit I cannot seem to break.

But, by the time you discover that they are barking mad it's to late to take them back to the lampost I found them tied to.

Dogs, cats, hens... seriously though, Emma Bridgewater bird mugs. I also have a few of the dog ones too. It's getting harder to get original ones as they are so popular with some making around the £200 mark.
