What do you like to buy and collect?

Verity

Hey I thought it would be interesting to know what we all like to buy and collect. I like to buy books, I own lots of Agatha Christie books and loads of lego minifigures which I love to buy and collect. I've also began collecting money, my mum used to collect vintage banknotes, she had an album which is now mine and in it there's money from the 1920s. Such lovely things. I've also began collecting records.

  • Horse chesnuts, I have hundreds and dry them before storing so they don't rot. They serve absolutely no purpose other than being periodically counted and sitting in cardboard boxes.

    I live in the country where many folk believe that conkers repel spiders. It's something that has come down the generations, they put small wooden bowls of them around the house to keep the pesky little six-legged insects at bay. . I've no idea if it works, but they look good when fresh.

    When I was a child, every autumn boys would play a game of  'conkers'  in the playground, but I think Health & Safety regulations have put an end to that.
