Greetings all from the UK:)))
« on: May 16, 2011, 18:16:44 »
Hi everyone!!!
WOWZEEEERSSS-Its GREAT to be here!!!!
My name is Issy and I live in the Cotswolds (South West) of the UK.
I'm 31 and a busy wife and stay at home mum to three littlies. 8}
I had quite a bit of Playmobil when I was younger and all my parents friends seemed to have a box of it mixed with Lego and Mecano (sp) when we went to visit:))
Growing up however the Playmobil went and in came Barbie.Somehow though I never seemed to lose the love I had for those chirpy,chipper looking faces :D
Anyway being at home full-time can be challenging when it comes to 'me' time but I find the best way to solve it is to have a big table set up with Playmobil-ready to play whenever I feel the urge (several times a day :o)
The little people never fail to want to get involved.Great for their imaginations and equally as good for my peace of mind;)
So our table contains a big 'system x' mix of of a house,a hospital and a police station.
We also have a caravan,a rescue helicopter and pad and an ambulance.Our collection is all helped along by lots of figures and their bits and bobs.
I would love to get into photographing my playmo peeps and have been GLUED to the storylines on this Forum!!!
Its not helping my bank balance though-I suddenly find myself NEEEEDING a whole swat team with csi's,and plenty of baddies lol!!!
I always have a wanted list to tick off so Ill be off to the trading board to add a few iso's ;)
Ok well enough of me,great to be here and I cant wait to make some playmo connections;)))
Best wishes
Issyx

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Hi Issyx,
Thank you very much for your intro. You will have a lot of fun here. I do the exact same thing with my son, 3 years old. Right now we have the vacation home and a pool with a slide on the table and we play with it lost throughout the day. I look forward to getting to know you.  :wave:

Thanks all for the wonderful greetings:)))))
I can see my playmo journey calling me to get a little part-time job lol!!
Hadoque-Im a extremely happy hooker as I cant go through a day without picking up my knitting needles or crochet hook and making myself a little 'woolly' something!
I try my very best to only engage in hobbies that are like free therapy-Playmo and knitting/crochet definitely fits the bill;)
Watch out Playmo peeps-curtains,rugs,clothes and blankies could be coming your way soon! :-\
Best wishes
