Ha, ha! What I found! Although I recently finished my the challenge of simplicityduring which I counted all my belongings (and I counted 139), I've tried counting things before.
That was two or three years ago, judging by the yellow paper on which I made the list, and I didn't manage to get a full count then. I counted about... Half of it. Roughly.
I was still living with my parents at the time, so I didn't have to worry about plates and cutlery.
And here's what was on my list.
by the way can compare with my current list of items. It wasn't that I always had nothing. So I gave up a few things, and then some. Compare!
