Have you got a soft spot for a certain type of item?

Have you started a collection which you display at home – a group of blue porcelain for instance? That’s the sort of thing which makes our homes individual and speak of our lives – but sometimes the collecting thing gets out of hand and shouts out OBSESSIVE.
Take this man for instance, his wife gave him a stocking filler book about collecting beer cans one Christmas and he loved the idea so much that he has gathered together a collection of 6,788. He keeps all his treasures at home – he has even built an extension to accommodate them.
This guy collects vintage Halloween paraphernalia – notice the baby-gate across the door – who is he trying to keep in – or out? Spooky!
Talking of spooky – I wonder what this man enjoys about filling spare bedrooms with exterminating Daleks.
On the other hand I can totally see how a penchant for trolls may get out of hand and, before you know it, you have to house 3,500, wherever you can fit them in.
I like pens – they are useful, but I don’t think I would be prepared to sleep in them. Must be a problem housing 220,000 though.
Wouldn’t be keen on sharing my bath with this many ducks either.
An,d much as I am fond of Winnie the Pooh, this is my idea of a nightmare. However, all the above are pretty tame compared to what some people choose to fill their home with: belly button fluff, toenail clippings, human heads (back in Victorian times), ladies bras and much, much more.

Still, just goes to show that there’s no place like gnome.
