Posted: 9/9/2007 10:07:03 AM | I love earrings and collecting them is a fun inexpensive hobby which also fits in with my love of treating "me" when I go shopping. I didn't have my ears pierced until I was 40 (as I'd always thought that making holes in your body was not natural) but having it done at 40 fitted with my rebellion streak at that time. I now have all manner of earrings. A lot are cheap and colourful and some more costly but I love them and like to match them to what I'm wearing. Ferrero Rocher boxes make fab earring boxes.....and you get to eat the chocs first.
My new collection which I have only just started is reading glasses. I am suffering from the middle aged person's affliction of struggling with reading small print and just need reading glasses. I bought my first pair from Superdrug but discovered that I needed more than one pair - as I kept forgetting them. I keep hearing from friends that you can get them from the £1 shop. Thats an aim but I've not satisfied it yet. However, I've built my collection up to 4 pairs now - in various colours - by buying off of EBay. I don't think I will get to owning as many pairs as I have earrings but they are inexpensive and its fun wearing different pairs so maybe.....!!! | |

My late mum had a few Boxers which I inherited so I went ebaying & bought lots more of all different varieties, now the glass shelf on the tv stand is adorned with loads of the damn things!
Other than that I try not to collect anything that I can't use or enjoy on a regular basis as then they become objects shoved in a cupboard or, worse still, the loft with no value to anyone except the dustman eventually! | |
