Firstly the old auction chair with the bargain fabric cover and the cushions made from old jumpers (oh please send me your old jumpers I have a throw to make) are not a problem.
Neither is one sock person - though maybe these stripes do not entirely go.
But five sock people are beginning to indicate something of a problem, perhaps even the hint of an obsession (not good).
So what on earth does the possession of eight sock people indicate...........?
PS Sally, Dave, Ben and Rachel, what am I going to call them (as a breed)?
PPS - In defence of my mental state - have been snowed in for four days - it is sock people or cabin-fever - now running out of socks.
