    I started collecting lilliput houses, But they are a bit expensive to expect as prezzies althoough my daughter has bought me a few. The intention was originally to go and see these cottages etc, as they are copies of the real thing. you get a little catalogue with them telling you their location. Maybe when I retire. Ive seen one, the smallest house in britain, at conwy. 02

    My youngest daughter is like you , she loves her things round her.:)
    She never throws anything away.
    She collects everything.
    She still as unopened boxes of stuff in her loft she took with her when she left home years ago.
    She hasn't got a clue whats in them.

    My eldest daughter is like me.
    Everything as a place and in it's place it goes.
    I can't take clutter it makes me feel uncomfortable.
    Sometimes to the point I feel ill and have to move things.
    I drive my husband mad.
    He's worried I'm going to file his underpants and socks.:D:D:D

    I don't like anything scary ,supernatural,or fiction.
    Yes I am very strange.:D

    Maybe it's because I'm an Aquarian:rolleyes:

    Never heard of Murano clowns before but had a look
    on ebay and there are lots to look at - some very expensive:eek:

    My hobbie (not very original) is collecting all Alan Price and Animals stuff -vinyl, cds, DVds, posters etc etc etc. I have copies of all his CDs and practically all his vinyl recordings - one rare EP missing as only a few copies were made but I am hoping one day to be able to add it to my collection. Will probably cost about £150 !
    Also, as most of the older (not age wise) ;) members know I am sure, I have an Alan Price Fans Forum and if anybody would like to have a look then take a peek here
    Members are from New York, Connecticut, Canada, Denmark, Belgium, Holland and even Russia and of course from UK.
    This is the corner of my room where my collection is stashed :D

    I have just bought some rota torques in gunmetal for the new brembos. This is a photoshop as I can't decide whether to go black on the Classic or swap the brembos round and go black on the spec D.:rolleyes:
