Welcome to the forum Jimmy. I don't think it's unusual. I've been through periods of years where I've not looked at much or bought a single coin. Doesn't take much to spark it off again though - something will catch your eye and it'll all kick off again.
When I gave the lot back to Semra she said she was going on holiday and asked me to email her on or about the 21st to remind her about the return & refund.
I did so. She replied asking for my bank details and I have the refund showing today.
I am happy to say I have no complaints whatsoever with the service.
Yesterday my mate found his youngest boy (about 7 I think) having a bit of a cry.
Turns out he thought if we left the EU he'd have to actually pack his bags...
