I have a secret obsession. Whenever I stay in a hotel (and I do this with reasonable regularity), I have to take the free soap, shampoo, toothbrush and whatever else is there. I don’t steal towels or things of that type, just the consumable things. I now have boxes of the crap. My justification to my long suffering husband who tries to stop me loading up my washbag with these unneeded things, is ‘we or the kids might go camping?” OR “we might have guests and we can put them in their rooms”. We NEVER go camping. I only camp in four or five star hotels. And if we have guests, I never put this shit in their room. I just can’t help myself. I don’t even use the stuff at the hotel because I prefer my own shampoo and body wash etc!

My former mother-in-law had 13 vacuum cleaners. My husband’s ex could not walk past a knicker display without buying a pair. My husband’s grandmother collected lounge suites and wardrobes. So confess, what is your secret obsession that you must buy or collect?
