Hoarder Alert...

Hoard Verb /hôrd/ - Amass (money or valued objects) and hide or store away.


I have a confession i *looks at flour* hoard.... yes i am a hoarder - A person who hoards things.

What do i hoard in particular?? magazines!! Manyt thanks i must say to my father who typically had a shop with lots and i mean lots of magazines in it, which was fine back then smatch hits was only 70p, but by the time i was working i had moved on to the like of Vogue or Elle, which was around £3.70 a pop. 

For me hoarding actually means not throwing it away, something my husband has found hard to deal with, he can't understand why i would want to keep them after reading them. and i was under the impression that it would stop after marriage and children, but turns out old habits die hard, I'm now on to parenting mags :)

really there is a little of it in us all, take my mum she had been storing, material and kitchen wear since i was born for my "wedding" ....

what do you hoard? and anyone's elses mum storing things?

  1. lol...this makes me laugh...I love magazines but I only ever bought them as a special treat. Do you read "This is Glamourous"? She apparently loves mags as well and had some nice ideas for storage.

    My mom was (is) a major hoarder and every summer I try and convince her to have a garage sale (boot sale to you brits) and she always says everything is something she NEEDS. Her habit scared the hoarder right out of me.
