Hey Everyone.
My name is Tash, I'm 27, mum to 1, and live in Australia. I just found this thread after posting a couple of topics and just want to thank those who have said "hi'.
I'm very, very new to the card collecting game, so forgive any stupid questions.
What can I say I'm addicted already
I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan, both books and movies, so thought cards were the next best thing to conquer. I'm already regretting it, so is my hubby!!
I look forward to talking to everyone for what I'm sure will be years to come.

Cheers
Tash

Hello newbies

Hadn't realised you were in London Paul. I'm only round the corner in Kent (and Sharons and Essex lass still what can you do - but luv her )

[Roz]

(and Sharons and Essex lass still what can you do - but luv her )

Oi!

She's my neighbour (well, her county is at least)... and I spent a luvvly day in Essex yesterday by the Cambridgeshire border wandering through a lovely village and nature reserve - not exactly the images you usually think of when you say "Essex" is it?

I always think Essex gets some undeserved bad press bless it - my beautiful field site is in Essex and it's an area of outstanding natural beauty... and I didn't see a single white ford sierra with blacked out windows en route any of the 53 times I had to visit

[Morningangel-Iola]

You know I am only joking. So does that make us neighbours but one 

[Roz]

He hee, I suppose it does - bring some biccies over and let's have some tea. *Yawn* it's late, make that hot choc.

Besides Sharon also has roots in a 'lively' part of London too , there's never a dull moment there, trust me

I must make some time to find the chavvy parts of Essex as I've only really seen the good bits now

[Morningangel-Iola]

There's plently chavvy bits here apparently we have lost our Garden of England title becase os Chavness

[tasha092]

wwwwwooohhhhoooooo another western australia yeah i am no longer alone lmao

lol we west australians need to stick together, what do they say, strength in numbers, well pairs anyway.

Its just great to know there are adults out there as obsessed with  Harry Potter as I am (who says HP's for kids anyway )
Cheers

[Sharon]

Hadn't realised you were in London Paul. I'm only round the corner in Kent (and Sharons and Essex lass still what can you do - but luv her )

    I am shocked and stunned    Oh and Roz if you want to visit the crown capital of Chavness pop in and see me - I work there    Romford, the heart of all things stereotypical about Essex.  But as you say I am not a native of Essex - the fact I used to wear white stilettos, drove an orange Allegro and am called Sharon is pure coincidence 

Which bit are you from Paul?

[Roz]

I am not a native of Essex - the fact I used to wear white stilettos, drove an orange Allegro and am called Sharon is pure coincidence 

Did you have a friend called Babs? A sister called Tracy?

Genius

[SabeanQueen]

Hi everyone, I'm Karen, 40 (ahem) and an insanely mad fan of Marvel and in particular the X-Men 

[Roz]

... insanely mad ...

You should fit right in here then - great to see you - I've sent you an email
