Jimmy - Ben has made a bit of cash, but I find selling stuff on e-bay is so much trouble that the pennies I make seem hardly worth the endless packing, queuing at the post office and answering queries. I must be doing something wrong.

AMM - My 2 have now moved on to Go-Gos. Ben has managed to trade all Hannah’s best Go-Gos into his own pockets.
Thanks for the mention.

Tara - Swap hours? OMG! I guess the population of Jersey isn’t big enough to sustain that kind of malarkey.

Claire - thanks, will pop over and check it out.

Oh god, we’re there too!
I’ve had to write a list of all the players he needs and driven him 25 miles to our nearest Entertainer toy store where they do swop hours.
I have a 100 Club double if you’re looking for a swop . . . !

I have girls so we haven’t has this pleasure yet…

My daughter is a great Go-Go trader. I saw her in the playground trading with the boys. A chip of the old block, she it!

Hi, i love your post and is it very true of about 99% of children who love collecting things, they nearly all move onto the next fad before completing the present one, but throughmy own experiences and those of my son he can now collect cards at very little or no cost to myself. A hobby that pays for itself and with match attax, yu-gi-oh and pokemon cards easily available now through the internet and selling duplicate cards on e-bay we have even made some money
thanks jimmy

Emma - you are horribly well-informed. It must be your new i-phone.

Kari - the only wrestler’s name I know is Big Daddy. And Blog Fodder tells me his first name was really Shirley.

Or you could have what I have - a constantly rotating series of Boston teams: Celtics and Patriots and Red Sox. And the luck that since I have been going with my boy friend they have been constant top contenders. And this year he said “Maybe I will start watching the Bruins. They’re doing really well this year.” and I said “Oh god no. Not Hockey. Can’t we have one sport we don’t watch?”

So instead he is into professional wrestling. But at least that’s amusing. Go Triple H! Ah well - at least he doesn’t yell at the TV.

“My one consolation is the fast-approaching end of the football season.”… In your dreams, Cathy.
The climax of the football season includes the FA Cup (semis and final) as well as league play-offs. Even if YOUR club isn’t featured, these are still major, major debating points. So, now we’ve reached mid-May. Ah, you think, quiet until August. Don’t you believe it. For a start, you have the glitz and glamour of the Muratti. Then there are pre-season training camps to follow and of course there’s bound to be some kind of transfer window, loan period, buying and selling spree; plus a few managers move around the chess board; “crucial” injury news upon which to reflect in an expert fashion and before you know it, it’s the Charity Shield and then we start all over again. Sorry to disappoint…
