I seem to recall promising to post here a bit more often this year but a couple of things are occurring which make this rather unlikely, particularly in the second half of the year. I have finally managed to find some paid employment as a product placement technician (shelf stacker) which although boosting the budget is eating into my ebay time. Not only that, but any budget boosting isn't really for the benefit of my collecting as all being well there will be an addition to the family at the end of July It has been 12 years since the last time, and nearly 20 since the time before that but I'm sure I can recall a certain amount of sleep deprivation and a distinct lack of quiet time in which to persue one's hobbies The final piece of the jigsaw was to have been a house move but the 'person' with whom we have been dealing decided yesterday to go back on everything they've said for the last 3 months and sell to someone else, I suppose in a way I should be grateful!

That's a lot of time between children! Congrats though!! My wife and I have been married for 3+ years and are talking about starting a family soon... As long as it's after the Gathering.

Congrats again! I recently joined this forum but hope to be more and more active as time goes on.

Congratulations Ewan! You don't do things by halves, you've got a few changes to get used to. I think a little diecast down time in-between the hectic lifestyle could be forgiven if you can fit it in. Look forward to some updates in the summer

Congrats for the new family member - this proves, that you still mustn´t play golf!

I guess, there will be enough sleepless nights to make a little jump into the forum

Nice one Ewan, big congrats from me and if your not posting picture of models, you'll have post pictures of the new arrival, please!

Ghosty.

Wow Ewan, the patter of tiny feet.......again Brilliant news mate.

Been there, done that, learned my lesson!
(Seriously though, congratulations to you and your better half.)

Congratulations Ewan, They say kids keep us young but I'm sure my two put years on me. But the ten grandkids certainly keep me young.

Thanks for all the congratulations - much appreciated
Making the most of the calm before the storm - small lot of Lesney heading my way
