I was having this discussion with my other half just the other day.

I like cleaning, restoring and displaying mine re arranging them from time to time.

 They mostly just sit there looking nice waiting for me to look at them. 

Although I do display them they are in my bedroom and I am very private about my collecting, very few people in my life know about it, I think because I am worried that most people just wouldn't understand and I had asked my husband how weird he thought it was.

We eventually came up with this.  Firstly it doesn't matter how weird anyone else thinks it is as long as it makes you happy.(you're not hurting anyone right?).  Secondly ponies or no ponies lots of people collect lots of different things (I saw a guy on the tv the other day who collected bricks, not judging just saying it's different!). 

Also just for your information from what I have read the psychology behind collecting anything (apart from it being enjoyable) is supposededly to do with us attempting to create a sense of security and order in our lives. Perhaps this is why your therapist was asking you about your ponies, maybe they weren't actually judging the ponies themselves if that makes sense 

Awww, wishing you all the very best.    Glad to hear you are starting to feel better, here's hoping you are back on the mend, go easy and don't be too hard on yourself, sounds like you've had a LOT to be dealing with. Big hugs xx

Ahhh confetti.  I have the Italy version (currently sun bathing on my windowsill as she has been attacked with pink highlighter) and the UK version.  Her U.S version is a long awaited set completer for me but I can never seem to get my hands on her!

I am completely terrified  I got a huge shock when seeing the news this morning. Aflame I like you do not like change especially one where there seems to be no plan for the consequences.  I am worried about the £ and the whole economy in general, jobs, house prices the lot.  I live in Scotland and my husband is Greek so I guess it's a huge waiting game for us to see if Scotland will remain in UK and what will happen in terms of his rights to be in this country.  I am also very worried about the xenophobic tone that this whole thing seems to have developed, I don't think that I want to live in a place that is intolerant of other nationalities.

As a complete after note (and I know it shouldn't't really be a priority considering all that's happenening ) I am also worried of the impact on the price of my ponies as I feel like even my one small joy and escape is also being attacked! 

I am glad to see that others are thinking/feeling the same though (generally I mean not specifically about the ponies!)

Hi all.

I have a couple of g1 ponies that I rescued that need rehairs. 

However they have also head their heads hacked off 

Does any one know what kind of glue I should use (I suspect some glues may break down plastic) to glue their heads back on once they have been rehaired?

Thanks

I have mine organised by year and set.  Then I have my Greeks, Italians and UK exclusives separately.  I have to say though I am running out of room fast and I don't think that this is the best way to maximise space.

That's some memory! 

I did a second check and I think you may be right. I found that one of speedy's stripes is lemon drop and it looks about right, my Sunshower must be faded.

Thanks for the help x
