    Yes I have definitely collected things over the years - Stickers, Rubbers, Keyrings, Stamps, Beanie Babies and nowadays I justify my large quantities of DVDs and Books as a collection, especially with the amount unwatched or unread! - @gilbster1000

      Hi Rachel - I was once a collector of Beanie Babies and spent a small fortune on the purple bear that was released shortly after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. I think my collection are sitting in a box in the loft now !!

      Oooh rubbers I forgot about them, I collected them too and cigarette lighters, novelty ones. I actually have no idea what happened to all of them.

    Oh I was THE collector when I was a child. I hoarded so many things. I used to collect pictures of Charlie's Angels (the original lot with Farrah Fawcett-Majors!). My friend Caroline and I were obsessed with them and would go around the village, knocking on doors and asking people for their old newspapers and magazines so that we could cut out all of the picture - our parents were not impressed! I also collected anything to do with owls for years and years, but the owls soon took over the house and I got rid of most of them!

    In recent years I've become a book collector but many years ago I used to collect hand bells. I had over 200 of them - brass, china, wooden, anything bell shaped! When I moved I didn't have room to display them all so most ended up in boxes in the loft. I've since given them away to charity shops having kept a few special ones. Thank you for a lovely giveaway.

      What an interesting item to collect Karen, I can't recall seeing many hand bells. It must have taken you ages to collect so many - glad you kept some special ones.

    Oh this book is at the very top of my Christmas list, to win it would be a dream! Since I was little I've collected dolphins of various shapes and sizes. Necklaces, toys, stickers, everything. For some reason I've always just been drawn to them! Xx

    When i was a teenager i used to collect Erasers - no idea why - kept them in a tin for ages and eventually sold them on ebay for £50. In my 20's i used to collect the small ornatmental mannequin dolls with various dresses - cost a lot at the time but soon lost there value. Now i just collect books - for me and Oliver!"!!

    A bit macabre but as a child on holiday, visiting family every summer in Scotland, I used to collect bones, sheep's skulls, horns, jawbones, bird eggs as well as old relics from ruins and had a little mini-museum display in my bedroom lol. Maybe that's why I read so many thriller/mystery/horror stories now!
