7 pairs of identical luminous orange trousers anyone?

My wife often hangs all of her nurses uniforms on the washing line at once , if the neighbours didn’t know, they would think we are into dressing up!

I have a new policy that if I buy an item of clothing, wear it a few times, and like it, I go back to where I got it from and buy another. Cuts out a lot of frustration.

This made me laugh. Nothing wrong with orange  

I always think this! 
and do people think that I’m dirty and just wear the same thing over and over without realising that I own more than one of each item?! I never know whether to say anything to anyone or if that will make them think I’m weirder that I buy more than one of an item if it is “safe”! 

I have searches set up for as long as it takes, 2 years, sometimes 5 years or more for a rare book to come up. It takes a lot of time and energy to root out the right items, can't buy online if I've not seen it in the flesh or can be certain it'll be right (after asking for loads of details etc) Returning stuff is horrid these days, I try to avoid that too.

I've put you in the metaphysical/philosophical category!

I do like bats! And I am a bit batty

only have that many as I have searches set up on Ebay, and if I find identical item BNWT that's cheap enough, or can be won at auction cheap enough, I hoover it up! I am like a vicious ferret when it comes to hunting out what I need. I wouldn't be able to buy on the high street, I only bought the first one there - and that was in the sale!

Although I do find the high street rather a stress, internet shopping is much more of a stress for me, particularly as I cannot do texture and size checks and all that with missing the post, or having to send things back and so on and so forth.

I'll have to add your name to the list, you sound like the *philosophical* category

A lot more *metaphysical* but *philosophical* is definitely in there.

Excellent. When it's the one, it's the one, right?  These things have to be done.

What does your name mean? Do you like bats?

My neighbours often have this view- there's a specific dress I love so much that I've owned several identical ones and have now bought a pattern to make my own!

I wonder what the neighbours think when they see six identical dresses on the washing line, as today.....?

If I were your neighbour, I would think you are incredibly lucky, given that I rarely ever find that many of one item in the right size.

I wonder if anyone even notices I'm always wearing the same thing??

Someone once asked me with an air of disgust if I ever changed my clothes, to which I replied that I often do due to sweating profusely whilst anxious, but I almost always wear what I have most items of, and I always try to buy at very least two of the same thing.

*careful*!

Complex it is then

I just thought, what am I talking about? (apologies), I can't choose between different things to save my life, if I had to choose I'd be there for a week puzzling and still have no answer... When someone says do you want an afternoon or morning appt? I'm like, erm, errrr, hmm, errr, sheesh errr, can I get back to you in a fortnight?

I just dyed some brand new suede boots purple last week. Seemed like good idea. It was way harder than I anticipated, turned in to this marathon, it was like, fifty coats, it was horrendous, permanent purple splodges on the kitchen lino, a couple of garments ruined?? Countless other stuff splattered with tiny spoltches, (don't ask me how, items 6 ft away even though I was being super carfeul!)

No. I quite like being complex if not unique although everyone is unique.

or you could of course select the category you think fits the most, by nominating the topic that's the most important...

Yes, I just noticed.

I could, but I just created three new ones, I'm sure there are other folks that meet the criteria of those! and I could, yes, have 'other' I guess for super complex ones.

You could just have a category for “other”

Hmm, tricky, I think I need a new category, no, two new categories, but you will be straddling both, *hobbies*, *towns or cities-linked*, no wait, three, *famous people*? You are unique!

I think my system just exploded!
