Collecting
 
I have a fettish (and before you jump on that word...which is acceptable for other than the feeble minded) for model buses.
I collect all models of buses from the old Bedford OB (Fred Kirkham had one) to all the new ones. Ribblesdale Batty Holt and Robinsons from Great Harwood are also featured in my collection, Blackburn Transport,Hyndburn,Burnley-Colne and Nelson,Ribble,Scout and Standerwick,Pendle Bus and Todmorden.
Does anyone else collect anything like this?

My dad used to collect these mini buses and vans, He had easily 80 of them when he passed away. I don't know what happened to them.

I collect stuffed toys ... with the emphasis on teddy bears ... My less tender self collects commemorative Winchester 94s.

Ive been through phases of collecting all sorts of different things at different times but dont collect anything now ive got my own house because I hate clutter, its bad enough with the boys toys and their thomas collection (but in saying that I do have a half decent dvd collection so I guess that counts :rolleyes:)

Clutter is bad for Feng Shui - hinders circulation of chi
Feng shui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have lots of crystals and windchimes which clutter things up :D
but I dont regard them as clutter because I consider they have 'purpose'.
I dont have ornaments which don't have some use - no pot dogs :eek:
but several cut glass decanters ;)

3 out of 5 are in use - 2 for filtered water and 1 for a herbal infusion.
I find that booze keeps better in the bottles it came in.
The 2 empty ones on my window sill 'make rainbows' = useful
