What's another year?

[Hertsblue]

I've been adding to my collection for over forty years now - still find new things to paint. What a great hobby - keeps me off the streets, stops me spending money I don't have and keeps me interested.

I thought the same

I also have a wife who's a qualified book-keeper. Which helps.

Helps!!!!  I would of thought that was a hindrance 

I find that having stuff posted to work helps. Unfortunately I was spotted carrying a box of TimeCast buildings and other terrain home just before Christmas 

I sort of got away with it, they became my Christmas present  Fortunately she didn't spot me bringing the AWI figures home a few weeks earlier.

I let all my stuff arrive at my folks' house

This is getting sad!

I know I'm lucky in my relationship, as people are often talking about sneaking stuff in the house, or having to earn brownie points to be allowed to do something. If I want something and can't wait until I buy it at a show , I just order it to be delivered to my home. When it arrives I show it off saying "I just bought this!". End of!

I must also say my missus is extremely supportive of my hobby and even helps me do scenery shes so much more artistic than me

Yes, indeed. If I could persuade my other half to take up painting figures I'd be a happy man. Her attention to detail makes me look, frankly, slapdash.

Well, she doesn't mind me buying stuff, but i have big batches delivered to my folks, and show them off in small batches 

We have a relative small house, and the stuff is mounting up, so if she sees a big package the inevitable question of "where are you going to put that"always comes up 

Should be better if i get my hobby room

And does she show you what she has "just bought" the next day 

I should say my wife is supportive overall, even though a little perplexed by my hobby
