I keep scrapbooks of pictures of crocodiles that I find in magazines etc. Nobody understandsGrin but I think they're beautiful. And I have all the Muppet films/Ice Age/Lilo and Stitch. Love them.

We visited Monument Valley earlier this year and the sand was such an amazing colour that we bought some home in a little plastic bottle......then I got it colour matched at BnQ and painted our bathroom the same colour....makes me smile to see the desert in the bathroom Grin

Cellardoor is it weird that I didn't spot the t-rex straight away?

BillywigSting · 21/09/2018 20:37

I have a moogle from final fantasy, a lego hogwarts express and several plastic dinosaur skeletons that I assembled myself.

There's also a few thousand pounds worth of magic the gathering cards hiding away including some super rare ones (which is where most of the value comes from) but I don't know if that really counts as cool unless you take into account it's how I met dp (and it's a shared collection).

Cellardoor23 · 21/09/2018 20:50

Haha PhilomenaButterfly I could see that.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 22/09/2018 16:53

I absolutely did not buy these today.

I need the Dino planters they are amazing Grin

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 22/09/2018 18:44

£5 in Morrison’s!

They had them last year and they sold out super quickly and I spotted them again today and grabbed them!

Cellardoor23 · 22/09/2018 20:26

I love those Dino planters too. Don't know where I'd put them, but that's besides the point.

PhilODox · 23/09/2018 10:12

billywig I have hundreds of MTG cards... are they valuable now then? (They're from 20 years ago)

Winterfellismyhome · 24/09/2018 10:50

Also bought a dinosaur planter this morning!

Fiffyshadesofgreymatter · 24/09/2018 10:54

@Winterfellismyhome

Any chance it was from Morrison's? I got 2 of their dinosaur planters to put on my kids' desks. Also got 2 baby groot planters!

TokyoSushi · 24/09/2018 10:57

Not too bad here. Just that I refuse to drink out of anything other than this plastic little cup at work when everybody else uses 'grown up' glasses, and Hello Kitty plasters!

@Winterfellismyhome

Nevermind. I scrolled up and saw they are the same things!

"AveAtqueVale

I am slowly collecting the new Harry Potter Lego minifigures. And I have it on good authority (our bank statement, cos he’s a fool) that DH has ordered me the new Lego Hogwarts for Christmas. Which I am shock about because it costs approximately ten times what we usually spend on each other for Christmas. I’m insanely excited and trying not to let on that I know." I have all the new mini figures, Graves is rare and I had to bloody pay out to get him from EBay. I also have the Hogwarts castle. It. It. Epic!

FunSponges · 24/09/2018 16:34

I have Harry Potter pyjamas and dressing gown, Harry Potter Lego, Sirius Blacks wand on a stand, Fluffy the unicorn from Despicable Me that I got from Build a Bear (DD thought we could share it, NO DD, it is mine), a sorcerer's apprentice Mickey Mouse on my bed, various unicorn bits that I loved before it became popular.

lynmilne65 · 24/09/2018 16:35

A pogo stick and can still pogo at 68 🤣

Lynne1Cat · 24/09/2018 16:37

MrsBobBlackadder...I've got the same one. Lovely, isn't it? I've got 3 catty duvet sets

combatbarbie · 24/09/2018 16:51

My Harry potter wand that is a tv remote Grin

PhilomenaButterfly · 24/09/2018 16:53

Where can you get that barbie? Shock

FunSponges · 24/09/2018 16:54

"My Harry potter wand that is a tv remote grin" I want this!!! I can pretend I'm actually doing magic rather than just waving my Sirius Black one around Blush.

happypotamus · 24/09/2018 17:17

I showed DH the duvet cover in the OP late last week. When I came home from a crap 13+hrs at work on Saturday it was on my bed. Grin DDs are jealous!

MrsRubyMonday · 24/09/2018 17:23

I just want to thank OP because after a really crap week I went to Asda to pick up a prescription, while waiting I remembered the dinosaur duvet, hoofed it over to the bedding section and found it (in king size! expected only kids in stock) then proceeded to waddle around the store with it like a happy penguin buying chocolate and snacks. It's now washed and on my bed and it's soooo soft.

PenelopeShitStop · 24/09/2018 17:23

I have a shelf filled with Little Grey Rabbit books. Everyone assumed they belonged to our DCs, but no actually they are mine, all mine, and DCs were never allowed to touch them. I re-read them often and find them very comforting.

combatbarbie · 24/09/2018 17:35

@Philomenabutterfly @Funsponges there was a FB advert a couple years ago and I tagged my DH hinting for Xmas so I knew it was a thing.... however unbeknown to me I didn't click the actual link so didn't know it was in the States...poor bloke had his mate in New York hunting one down and posting it!! It is awesome!!

I'm pretty sure I seen similar if not the same in a UK gadget shop over the summer!!
