Why is it we have things in our houses/flats/rooms that we never seem to buy but always have ?
For me sellotape, needles, thread, blu-tac, antiseptic to name a few.

and I buy plastic hangers but just dissapear and all thats left is the damn wire hangers.
Note pads and post its
I'll add scissors to the list.
:yes: Thats the same here!
Salt is good on everything, and 31 is a pretty good innings.
mine dissapear, I had 8 matching ones and a ffew randoms in sept '05, now I have none. the big ones have started to die of the same random fate too, though it isn't really random, I think they go missing from lunchboxes.
Or they go in the bin....I often find myself leaning over the bin ready to chuck it on in there with my yoghurt pot.
yeah!!! where do wire hangers come from ever? they never give you them in shops...hmmmm
I always used to throw mine away. Also, I'd put a spoon & a fork in my bag to use for my dinner and by the end of the week, I've ended up with at least 2 spoons and numerous forks.
Blu-tac
Post its
Straws
Safety pins
Paper clips
String
Garden wire
Calamine lotion
Super-glue
Don't have a clue where any of it came from.
For the love of god this house is overrun by pens.
Ours is as well. For some reason, there always seems to be at least 4 up by my computer as well.
I have the opposite problem. I'm always buying bloody sellotape and blu-tac, yet i NEVER have any when i need it. Ditto scissors.
I always used to think loo roll came into this category at home, that and long life orange juice, but have recently noticed my dad is incapable of going to a supermarket and coming home again with at least 16 loo rolls and 12 cartons of juice.
AFAIK metal hangers come from dry cleaners, but I don't know when the last time anyone at home got anything dry cleaned was.
