I have the strangest fettish even I think it's weird!

I've just had a tidy up in my sports clobber cupboard and have decided to fess up.

I love love love those little trainer sockettes.

I've counted them and I have 29 pairs of them!!

BUT! This is where it gets silly.

There are 11 pairs that I have never worn..just because they are too nice!

I'm waiting for them. Those men in the white van. Yep. They'll be here soon.

I have a few pairs I never wear, but only cos they roll down inside the back of my boots, and irritate the hell out of me

Oh and I forgot to mention..which drives Don NUTS! but..they have to be either Nike or Adidas.

Aaah..the van's just drawn up outside.

Harry and Mick have loads of Nike ones, from the outlet shop near here. When they had different size feet ie H was in childrens' sizes it was easy, but now H is a 10 or 11 and Mick is a 9 it gets confusing! I'm going to have to start buying them different colours

you should make a nice framed collage from them Ally

I gave up trying to guess what black sock belonged to which man in this house.

In my eyes a black sock is a black sock the world over.

But my 3 seem to have a built in radar black sock sorterer so I leave them to it.

It would rub my heels.

Oh I have several different categories of socks
There are boot socks, that go on over ordinary socks, for my wellies and for my slightly-too-big-but-comfortable very clumpy waterproof walking boots.
There are little thin cotton trainer socks for my nice Sketchers trainers in warm weather. And for wearing on their own, if my feet are a bit cold in the morning but it's too warm for slippers.
There are lots of plain black socks for almost all Autumn/winter outfits. But these also come in two sub-categories, since one set of 4 pairs is a bit thicker than the other set of 5 pairs.
There are long socks for when it's really cold.
There are normal white, thicker cotton socks for trainers when it's a bit colder than for the trainer socks.
Some of the above are also for warming feet when I get into bed, as I'm hardly ever cold except sometimes my feet, and I can't get to sleep with cold feet. But whichever pair they need, they get taken off sometime after getting into bed.
And there are a few pairs that are pretty and so get worn much less often but I like looking down at them

There's one pair I've lost, through several moves within a few years, my mum knitted or crocheted them when she was really poorly, and I never wore them , just looked at them every now and then - and I don't know where they went
Shall I share the van?

Yes..we can show the other inmates how to plank!

No plank jokes from me

I have a drawer stuffed with socks, all balled up, mostly in pairs That's as organised as I get. My house looks very tidy until you open a cupboard, or a drawer or a wardrobe, and then it's chaos
