Peckris Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I'm back! House move completed on the day we said we'd do it - March 1st. Broadband connected on the 5th, and coin business back up and running now that I've built a desk at the weekend! Rather fun moving into a completely unfurnished place from a bus - it meant we were really starting from scratch. Everyone we know suddenly had lots of stuff they didn't want, so we have managed to accumulate everything in a matter of a few days. The first thing I had to do was build a bed, as the staircase is far too narrow to get one up.Still pinching oursleves every time we wake up here - not quite sure how we pulled this off - blag of the flippin' century. Strange things in the kitchen that you turn and they produce hot water out of nowhere. We don't even have to carry it in, it's just there!Just wait until I explain to you what that tiny room with the porcelain bowl is for! Quote
Generic Lad Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I've been here... Lurking. Really haven't had the time/cash to get anything exciting coin wise, just finishing up midterms this week, then spring break! I bought a detector (Ace 250) and it came in the mail the other day, but haven't really had much time to even take it out of the box! Hopefully I'll find lots of gold coins! (Unlikely... but I can dream at least!) So should be able to take it out and see what all I can dig up, hopefully something a bit older than modern clad junk. Either way, should keep me busy for a while. Quote
bagerap Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 It'd be interesting to catch up on some of the 'old' members, particularly the youngsters, to see if they are still collecting, or if they got to whatever heights they were aspiring to. (See?! I could have used GeoffT's help there since I'm sure you're not supposed to split infinitives or something!) Emperor Oli perhaps?The Emperor is listed in today's birthdays on Coin People. 23 years old today. Quote

Coinery Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 were down to 829 now!!!.....i would appreciate news on gollum, if its possible to pm me.ski.Me too, if anyone knows anything! I really did think he'd pop back up again. For someone who lived and breathed this forum for a number of months, his sudden departure doesn't paint the prettiest picture. Coming from a nursing background, I have more than the occasional kind thought for his life as he openly described it! Quote
