Great topic! One thing I'm concerned with is fabric - I wear my clothes till they've got holes in, literally, or until the zip breaks (a much loved fleece finally did this over the winter). They're no good to take to the charity shop Welcome to the Raggedy Ann club : ) I missed the comment about th...

The headache is storing enough for 4 people. I have a couple of 5 litres tucked under the kitchen plinths.
