HI, let me introduce myself, I am a 30-something wife and mother of two, who is married to a squirrel of a collector ! Luckily this gives me a lot of scope for buying things for Xmas and Birthdays that are missing from hubby's collection !
SO WHAT DO I COLLECT ? for myself, I collect ROYAL DOULTON, AGATHA CHRISTIE, and 60's MEMORABILIA ( particularly HEARTBEAT ). Hubby collects BIGGLES and DC THOMSON COMICS ( not many of them about !), son collects BEANO and LOONY TUNES, daughter collects BARBIE.
Luckily I have an understanding mother-in-law, who doesnt mind signing for parcels and then hiding them from my hubby/her son -ISN'T FAMILY GREAT ?
