Wow @avant-garde , decks of cards??? Do you have those tiny itsy bitsy cards @avant-garde ?
Do you have half a house to store your collector's items? It sounds like there's a lot!
I just to collect plastic bags with logos because they reminded me of all the places i'd been and the things i'd bought...
Then one day, I just threw everything out!

@tyme @Shaz51 @avant-garde Growing up, I collected basketball cards, Kinder Surprise toys and movie tickets of the movies I'd been to see.
Now, I don't have any collections....unless unused art supplies for unstarted or unfinished projects count?

No.
I was homeless last year and the concept that I have half a house is hurtful because I'm lucky to have the tiny unit I have.

Hahaha @MissinTooth , then I'd have LOTSA collections of unfinished things!
@avant-garde . I'm sorry to hear about your homelessness last year. I didn't realise it was only last year. Does that mean you have kept all your collections with you the whole time? (please don't feel you have to answer if you don't want to).
I admire your resilience.

OH, so that's about sticking to non-oily foods @Shaz51 ?

Storage unit, friends places, car. Some people thought they were doing me a favour by throwing a bunch of my belongings in the skip bin. I haven't trusted them since.
Been here 8 months

Very true @tyme to add to the things that I can't eat with kidney disease and diabetes
I think the little getaway made it worse, so get back on track again
@Appleblossom , need marshmallows 😋
