I recently took about twenty 26“ tyres to the tip. I got accused of running a bike shop 🙂

Just been cleaning the camper and have now a list of 14 new and nearly new tyres that are stashed away just in case.

BMX chains.

That'll teach me not to check my basket.

Old chains and brake pads because they'll come in handy one day right!!

Loads of 26 & 29" inner tubes despite all my bikes being tubeless.

And a big box of Aston Martin DB9 coolant hoses, just incase!

Bikes. Have no idea where they come from. Every time I go into the garage, there’s another!

Shave gel here is the only main thing of surplus, oh and imperial sockets bought as part of an ever expanding tool portfolio, never used. I have the usual Psion, Palm and random serial cables...just in case. Chick Peas and tomato based stuff (tins or tubes) are something that we always go from feast to famine on. Either metric shed loads, or emergency Mr HB dispatch to Lidl to conclude this evenings meal.

I'm adding multi bits to the list, I always end up buying in the 3for2 offer when I'm away with work and inevitably eating rubbish. Always A-Z, omega oils and the effervescent 'energy' ones.

As a result I must have about 600 one a day multivits!

Pedals. Just moved house and although I have lots of bikes I found even more pedals. Lots of old original looks (why did I keep them), newer look keo’s, road spd (never used them?), spd’s from brand new to completely unused. Not sure how that happened! Time for a good clear out!

Lifetime bags. MrsMC loves going into foreign supermarkets and comes out with empty bags.

Oh my god, this is me! Yesterday I slyly went into the Super U without any shopping bags, so I just *had* to buy some more 😂
