Confessions of a Pony Hoarder...

[Stormness_1]

...When your hubby insists on buying ponies you don't already have for your niece, so then you have to go out and buy them yourself, because you don't want to be jealous of a six-year-old!

It's a positive and a negative:
when you feel bad for buying yourself a pony so you buy TWO so your daughter can have one too even though you really didn't have the funds for either! LOL

I do that too!  D8

haha, In confess, I did so too

Oh we are just terrible people!! LOL

Buying lots of ponies on eBay, promising yourself "if I sell the extras, I can keep the ones I need!" ... then keeping them all because you worked so hard to clean them up ...

These confessions are cracking me up!!!

Lol! I've done both of these!

Oh my other trick is to trade a pony I have a double of or a pony I'm not so keen on and then have to go buy another one to replace it because I miss the original pony so much. Needless to say I have now been banned from any trading or selling activities as they cost us too much money!

When I was a kid I've stolen one G1 pony from my kindergarten D: I mean I was crying till they gave her to me
I'm 24 and still playing with my ponies <3 Only my dad knows that

When I first started collecting again I was living with my parents on the family farm so I hid my ponies in tubs under my bed. It was hard to hide the pony castle when it came in the mail I now have my ponies in my spare bedroom in my own house...in tubs in the closet... But there is a happy ending in sight. I started to build the first shelf and am in the process of getting them out of the darkness.

My solution... I've taken all my books off the bookcase and am going to devote it entirely to ponies. Four shelves worth, and I still think they might fill it up completely! Now I have to buy another bookcase to put all the books back on... Poor books, they lived on the shelf for a whole year before I started collecting, and now they've been shoved aside as the second priority. They probably won't even have rest from ponies on the second bookcase, I'm eyeing a design that has five shelves instead of four, so I can have the current four shelves of books and another for pony...

Wouldn't it be less work to buy a bookcase for the ponies?

There might not be space in the room for another shelf. (That's my problem, right here!)

If I had a boyfriend I would rather make him sleep on the floor/sofa than mess up the plushie display on my bed.

I have a double bed and I am a tiny person, but there is still no room for another person.

My own ponies never get spa treatment because by the time I'm done with all the sale ponies I can't be bothered doing any more.

I've done this, it was shopgoodwill though.

I love this thread, you guys make my day with these stories.

I'm considering converting my bedroom floor into equestria because I don't have anymore shelf space and my family would kill me if they started spilling over into the rest of the house.

I wanted the exclusive g4 Sweeite Swirl SO bad, that I bought my daughter Raritys Carosel Boutique, and sneakily opened it, removed Sweetie Swirl, replaced her with LuLu Luck and... Repacked it and gave it to her for Christmas... She still. Doesn't. Know.  It's, been like two years.

wow   too funny but I will totally do it too !  

[Tiffymh1fan]

Is it strange that I don't regret snarling at people who are getting grabby with my ponies one bit? One day I'll probably cause a little kid to cry, but my ponies are more defenseless then they are.

Do you have kids?
