Questions
Why oh why don't I live nearer a big town? Okay, I know the answer to this one and it is purely a rhetorical question, but...
My copy of the new Cath Kidston catalogue arrived today and I have just spent half an hour drooling over some of the gorgeous fabric designs. Actually it's probably a good idea that I don't live closer to a CK shop or I would be penniless very quickly.
I love pretty fabrics and am delighted to discover a local designer of divine designs and I hope to have some of her fabrics and cushions in the shop very soon.
Dave posed a question this evening, to which I don't know the answer, so I would be grateful for any answers, comments and thoughts you have about this...
If you hoard things (in anticipation of a shortage, for example) it is said that you 'stockpile' them... so how many things make a stockpile and if you use or sell one of the stockpile, is it still a stockpile and at what point is it no longer a stockpile (and is that the same number that creates a stockpile in the first place)?
Please help us with this one, as his silly question will be wandering around in my head for days!
Chat soon, Liz

LOL! I think it IS considered a "stockpile" when you hoard things in anticipation of using them at some point. If you ask me, it becomes a stockpile as soon as you start saving even one item in anticipation. But that is just my take on it. :)
Hi Liz
I would have to agree with Michelle.. anything above your normal stock I would consider at least the beginnings of a stockpile.
We had a stockpile of food under our stairs when I got totally paranoid about bird flu a year or so ago..we have managed to eat most of it now.. kind of defeats the object of having a stockpile!
