Hello all. Long time no see...

[rhysd2]

Hello all

It's been a long while since I've been on here. I see plenty of familiar names about so how have you all been? Things here are good. Jess is now working in minor surgery at the local hospital, and I'm a manager in the IT company I was at last time. Bought a house 2 and a half years ago and have generally been very busy.

I have a bit of a confession to make though..... I'm now a disney addict. Those of you who may remember me from before may remember I was a bit of a universal nut. However (to cut a long story short) I took Jess to DLP in January as her 30th bday gift(a mean feat for me as I'm not a big fan of the french). And after that I'm converted. Absolutly loved it there(tower of terror was open too which was fantastic as it's Jess's fav ride). Planning to get back to there or out to Florida later this year.

Also another confession. I'm a pin addict. Just before our DLP trip I found a eeyore pin JJPenguin gave me when we met in WDW. Whilst in DLP I saw a starter set which Jess bought me and it all went downhill from there Currently have 20 odd and have just bought a batch more off ebay in preperation for the trip later in the year. Any of you collect also? anyone know of pin trade meet up's in England?

Hopefully I'll see you all around more on the forums now

Rhys

I think it died off a while ago, from what I remember you and I kept it going for a long time, but it was never going to work with just me

Hi Rhys

Good to see you again

 

[rhysd2]

thanks for the kind words all and good to see you are still around JJPenguin dont feel guilty it was inevitable Bought a few more last night included a LE300 of space mountain would really like to get to a pin trading event but the next one at DLP is the 30th august and I'm busy that weekend. Anyone aware of trade meetups that go on in England? I've been lurking over at dizpins and theres plenty in the states but none I can see here.

I'm not aware of any pin trading event in the UK. I do like collecting them & have of 50 in my collection mainly DLRP but some WDW a family friend got me years ago, although I have yet to trade any.

 

[Belle68]

Dont think we've met before so I just thought I would say HI

It would be great to have a pin trading event in the UK, we also collect pins

 

[rhysd2]

once my recent orders arrive perhaps we can organise a meet up. or if theres a DIS meet any time soon we can find a little side table to show off our collections

are either of you on dizpins/pinpics?

 

[tennisfan]

Not yet, I must sign up to them

 

[rhysd2]

if you go to pin pics then search for "rhysd2" you can see my little collection. I dont really go on dizpins too much apart for the odd bit of info. pin pics I've found invaluable though.
