It seems like forever since I had a beach day, with splashing in rock pools, collecting shells and pebbles, making sandcastles, swimming and then reading under a parasol... etc.

There are so many great holiday and beached-themed ponies... please feel free to post yours!

I think I just gave up with Ebay. My main issue was that Ebay gives out your phone number to any courier that the seller chooses, which can include some pretty budget and unofficial-seeming companies. So often, a buyer states a price for 'Royal Mail Second Class' and then lo and behold it's Hermes ringing you and turning up at 7pm on a Saturday night trying to take photos of your hallway. I have no idea what is happening to my personal data. I don't like them having my phone number and prefer to organise deliveries via email at my convenience (not thiers). So I did as suggested by one customer services rep. and gave them my phone number with the last two digits reversed. Now due to another ramp-up of security they insist on calling my on my mobile number before I can log back into my account. So I'm now locked out and can't find the motivation to bother chasing customer services to give them the correct 'phone number. I noticed there was some other issue with selling recently where you have to let them retain the details of your main bank account, so I just stopped selling. I also heard that USA customers will have to let them retain thier socail security number. It just sets off alarm bells for me that Ebay are able to or enable other, almost anonymous companies to link up my mobile number, address, photos of my property, bank accoutn details, data about my lifestyle choices etc. I don't think it's worth it  On another note I soon ave up with Air BnB because I felt that they were demanding too much personal information i.e. things that can't possibly offer any additional security to hosts or other guests etc. but could easily be used to serve some sideline business model.

Had a lot of fun reading this and checking through all my accessories:

Thank you Taffeta!

I got stuck in a traffic jam today, but then I remembered I left a Cornish pasty in my glovebox.

Which ponies do you have in more than one pose? I have Magic Star, Applejack, Bow Tie, Firefly. I think that's it. I would love to own German Starshine and Skydancer. I think I have G3 Pinkie Pie in more than one pose too.

Hi all, I have nearly completed this set, although I mustn't jinx it yet! However I'm not sure about the ribbon. I found one photo that shoes a light blue ribbon. In the comic she appears to be wearing a light pink ribbon. Does anyone know what ribbon came with this set?

I get that it's a nice problem to have. I have found certain solutions too simplistic and then I try to do it myself and end up massively over complicating everything. And then it feels like work rather than a hobby! Do you keep a record and what do you do?

What were the best and worst things that happened to you? What is the best thing you did for others?
