I go through phases where I think I haven't got enough, so I get more, then I think I've got too many so I get rid of some!

I do use a toy library aswell and we go to groups so they get plenty of variation.

Just wondering how many toys you all have and WHAT toys you have.

I need a magic fairy to come and slim mine down. I managed to empty the loft into the tip a couple of months ago, just need to set about the conservatory now.
It would be easier to say what I've not got than list everything.

My house looks like an explosion in an ELC/Toys r Us factory :D The lounge is full, as is my garage and my shed :o

i too, have a DH who says i have far too many toys :laughing:

when we moved and put stuff into storage, i bought the bare minumum of things with me ... one small box each of duplo, cars, trains & track, little people+little stable&summerhouse, instruments, puzzles, play food, baby toys and craft stuff/ then a pile of games & some books. oh and a few baby dolls. i have then ended up buying other bits i wanted from charity shops/ebay etc!

he thinks that as i have managed for the past 5 months, i don't need the rest of my toys :laughing: but i DO, i have hardly been working, and so have managed!

but next week all our stuff arrives from storage and i can't wait to have all my toys back! i'm always seeing new things i want, but actually, having looked through the new elc catalogue/argos etc, for once, there isn't very much, and thati do like would be just to replace worn out toys !!! ;)

We have too many and they are all stored in MY garage :eek: now as a man it is hard to give up MY garage to toys, but there is nowhere else to store them:rolleyes:

I find being a CM that it's an excuse for never throwing away your own children's toys. When my kids outgrow stuff I don't think about getting rid I think 'Ooh mindee x will enjoy that' :D DH despairs of me lol

I buy things all the time saying to dh "but 6 children will play with it (not just dd) so it is value for money" ;)

I buy more toys now that my children have grown up, because more children play with them and I can justify it. quite often one of my own will say "you wouldn't have bought that for me when I was little" and its true :blush:
After all, I would rather spend money on toys than give the money to the tax man :D
