Thank you CP.
I have tried to eBook/audiobook where I can. I do have a few titles but I find it difficult to concentrate on the story in these formats especially audio. I have donated many books to charity and family/friends but I prefer hard copy books from certain authors and subjects. I went to a bookshop today and i am glad they are still around. It will come to a time where one collection will have to be slowed right down. And now I’ve already begun to tailor my Lego choices to certain sets that I will keep.Get your books onto a Kindle, donate to Lifeline. Win-win
Yes I totally agree.
Finally done with a day to spare before Christmas, I had to finish this before I go home for a month at Christmas and it’s done.
Fun build, the last 5 bags were a bit quicker as it was very, very repetitive building the same wing 4 times in reverse so powered through them.
Looks like it will fall over pretty easily and the wing mechanism doesn’t seem to work to move them up and down.
But for this year, it’s probably my favourite build for the year, just surpassing the Batcave as it just looks impressive. Batcave is fantastic but as mentioned above, it’s hard to display open in all its glory.
Favourite set under 100, probably Boarding the Tantitive IV, although I bought 2 to make it look better so technically over 100…
Still to build, Millennium Falcon, TIE interceptor, Jabbas Sail Barge and Mos Eisley Cantina.

And art books. No way I am reading those online.
Last public library shift before Christmas and this is as festive as I feel this year.
PS so you can nosy at some of my books and DVDs.

I've been driving my work place nuts by dressing up in festive shirts every day. And there have been a few ridiculous ones in the mix!!!
Secretly want to keep doing it after Christmas but that might ruffle more feathers!

Didn't buy myself any Lego for Christmas this year, but I did buy my wife a set.
I don't think think she bought me any, but that just means books or videogames or something else I love
Agree! I’ve self gifted all year round. Santa has been relieved of his sleigh drop in duties with me.By buying my own presents I can ensure the collection grows. This year it's Endurance, unless there's something else in the box under the bed that Lego sent
Shopping at this time in particular is based on my 3:1 ratio system that I’ve used for many years so I can at least enjoy it.
I give myself 3 gifts for every one gift I buy another.
A handy trick is when you can buy a present for someone else, and get double points/GWPs for yourself. That way, the purchase is budgeted as "presents" and you get the extras without any decrease in your Lego allowance .
.I wish they liked Lego as much as me CP. Double points sounds great.A handy trick is when you can buy a present for someone else, and get double points/GWPs for yourself. That way, the purchase is budgeted as "presents" and you get the extras without any decrease in your Lego allowance

This is where I fell down and didn’t do any forward thinking, my sister is a librarian so I should have bought something when they had the love of books GWP!
Been very disappointed in my workplace, even at the Xmas party only half dressed in anything festive and I won best dressed by a mile with my matching shirt and shorts.
Was tempted to wear the old Christmas suit jacket and shorts tomorrow, but will go low key with just the Xmas shirt.
