Eccentrics
We all know someone who's a little bit strange - Mum's UFO abduction secret, or the mad Uncle who isn't allowed within 400 yards of Noel Edmonds.
Tell us about your family eccentrics, or just those you've met but don't think you're related to.

Oh Dear
It is often said that if you look around and find no oddities, you may just be the oddity.
Having mentioned that, I realize I seem to collect empty boxes of all shapes and sizes, but especially the larger ones. I just can't seem to pass up a good empty box. I've been doing it for years. If they get damaged, I repair them with box tape.
And I'm not even planning on moving house anytime in the future.

I do that
I've got them behind the sofa, under the beds, stacked in a few corners, and am even now storing them in my closets at the office.

Me too.
My box room (pun not intended) has all manner of boxes stacked neatly in one another, and all stacked carefully and anally with not a gap twixt them.
I have several dozen neatly flattened under the sofa as well.
I *am* planning on moving soonish, and that is the excuse I'm sticking to.

Also a box collector...
I'm not moving though, I just like boxes. I get extra excited if I get/see a gift wrapped box. I tend to be more excited about the box than what's inside. Surely that's not good? =/

I once had ...
an entire room full of furniture made out of boxes. I was well poor :-(

i've got loads of boxes
i don't want them, but every couple of months, i get a delivery of supplies in 5 cardboard boxes. along with the rest of my rubbish, i can only fit one ripped-up box in my wheelie bin a fortnight, so as soon as i get rid of them, more of the buggers get delivered!
